....I believe that the unfortunate thing is that a majority of the MP's and the senior civil servants (who apparently make decisions and formulate policies) have not lived the life of the commoners, for example, born and raised in the kampongs or HDB flats, rarely or never used public transportation on a regular basis, to understand the lives and challenges of the commoners...
They live in the ivory towers, born or raised overseas to become imported shitizens and then MPs/Ministers. Where got common touch with ordinary sinkies?
