"We Feel Well Served": The Decline of the Singapore Dream Under PAP’s Rent-First Model

A white expatriate recently told me he admired the PAP government.

“They generally solve problems quickly. The infrastructure is excellent. My family lives well here — we get good pay, enjoy the lifestyle, and it’s a safe environment for our kids to grow up before we eventually return home. Honestly, I don’t get why Singaporeans complain.”

To him, Singapore works perfectly.

But the unspoken truth is this: Singapore works well for people like him because it runs on the backs of ordinary citizens like us.

It is normal for those people in the lower tier in any society will have grievances. Just look at recent Indonesia and Nepal's protest. I can bet the middle class were not one the protesters.

I am sure thread starter is one of them.
