Those born in 1930 to 1960 saw the change of SG from slum to modern city under LKY and the Old Guards. They appreciated what he had done and rightly so. The young generation of locals today did not see the turmoil, the struggle, the riots, the gangsterism of that era in SG but the older generation today still remembers. However, the harm now done to SG by current PAP leadership has eroded or will continue to erode the love of the older generation for the PAP.

How can they do that when the MRT is filled full of rich people.
They need poor people around or move to NZ.
hahahaha...
Plumbers, sparkies and chippies can earn tons of money but the job isn't glamorous enough. Singaporeans want a comfortable environment and a swanky office. This attitude has nothing to do with the PAP. It has existed for as long as I can remember way back to the time when Singapore was still a colony.
Asian parents have always wanted their children to grow up to be lawyers, doctors, architects etc. Vocations such as plumbing which involve installing and repairing toilets and bathtubs are looked down upon.
Vocations are only treated on equal terms in countries with an egalitarian outlook towards life. OZ and NZ are examples. In such countries, the Toyota Pickup truck is the best selling vehicle. In Singapore, Mercs and Beemers are the top sellers. It is all to do with ones value systems.
the present pap MPs are a disaster living on past PAP glory
you are naive...SG tradesmen cant make a decent living
That is because the trademen have to give warranty for their work.
It seems that rent-seeking is a virtue. I love to be a Singapore landlord sitting around writing SBF forums to spend my time. Leave all those blue-collar work to the FLs .errh ... foreign labour in this context.
Of course they can. I personally know a Singaporean who goes around repairing and re tiling roofs. He has a new Merc every 3 years. He was my LCP in the army. He fixed my roof when I was living in Singapore.
hahahaha...i believe you...a Singaporean tiler owns a merc every 3years...hehehehe
do you know how much a tiler is paid in SG? just do the maths and you know you sound silly
The problems are not imaginary. If not addressed sooner, Singaporeans will no longer be masters of their own country.
I paid him $12,000 to re tile my roof. That was $3000 cheaper than most of the other quotes I got. He did it in 2.5 days.
New Singaporeans who are more industrious and more hardworking will be masters of the country and this will benefit everyone.
LKY kicked butts, tackled issues head on with steel determination, a fighter. If you were in SG in 1950/1960, you would know how he whacked the gangsters and freed the people from oppression of gangsters. What his son has done is for people to judge and natives will judge him on how he makes their lives better or miserable. From sentiments at ground level, it seems he makes a mess.

Boss, next time PM me la I make sure you get quality screws and sealants to go with your roof guarantee 20 years.
By the way roofers are a specialized tradesman and not general contractors, also roofing material is actually inexpensive so they can make lots of money, why I know because they all my good friends, now a days many roofers in Singapore stopped driving Merc and Beemers they already changed driving Porsche Cayenne & Panamera and Audis
u must be the type of ppl who leave everything to your ID to handle when u renovate your house. FYI, the fee charge by a plumber is very high, no longer got $30 job liao. my mom flat kitchen sink pipe choked, cost me $200 bucks to hire the plumber to clear the choke. it a half an hour job but it stink and dirty like hell. he asked me who was the idiot contractor who installed such a small drainage pipe for sewage as he had a hard time clearing the choke. And i talked to the electricians, painters and plumbers sent down by my ID when i reno my flat recently, the fee they charging my ID are not small, no wonder the ID charged me a leg for my renovation.

Difficult, leh. There are still diehards in SG supporting PAP, and with new imported citizens, it is an uphill task. However, to restore the good life should not unravel the foundation of this country.
Any country where the Govt treats its people like treasures; not in a country where the Govt looks down on its own people like shit.
ah leong, u beri patient hor, keep plugging away at a stubborn cow. TS and several others are left wing do gooders who expect the world to operate as utopia.
btw, i dun think pinkie and pap give a damn whether the ppl are angry or not, it will be biz as usual.
what the point of being angry when these so call angry ppl keep voting in the very same bastards/bitches every eRections. ihmo, they shd be angry at themselves.
tok cock la. i didnt know staying in HDB, above you is not ceiling but roof. stop hallucinating.:oIo:
I installed a brand new roof and sold the house 3 years later and the buyer tore the whole house down to rebuild a 3 story monster.
