Crumbling of Singapore?

There are two main problems with SG. They are:
LKY
Balless pap leaders who dare not stand up to LKY
I have doubt it will change even after LKY's passing as LHL is truly a useless, no clue leader.
It will only change if LKY passes away and LHL is ousted.
May God help Singapore to rid it of LEE family's influence after passing of LKY.
I cannot believe that Mr. Sam Leong made an inadvertent mistake.
* it's mean it is
whereas its is possessive
and based on the above context, I believe the appropriate word is [ its ] .

Today paper, 2 May 2012:
"My wife, a university honours graduate, quit her job to coach the children at home, but is herself exasperated at the standards required of pupils today.
I have yet to observe any beneficial effects of pushing children so hard in primary school, apart from high stress levels and sapping of intellectual curiosity.
Besides removing the joy in learning, another side effect of today's education system is that my children hardly have time to enjoy childhood.
They have less time to play outdoors, to read their favourite books (which is a great way to improve one's English), to explore new hobbies or to learn about the world around them - all because of so much homework.
The scenarios are the same with other subjects. The schools are not teaching less, nor are the pupils learning more."
Many things are going wrong in Singapore. The pap wants Singaporeans to be betterer, cheaperer, fasterer. But this is at a tremendous cost. The toil is on the people's well being.
Crumbling of Singapore indeed! How long can Singaporeans go on at the pace with higher cost of living, lower pay, more congestions on the buses, mrt, insufficient hospital beds, more uncouth behaviour from 3rd world migrants, less family time, lower FTR, etc?

The cries of the parents are wide and deep. Does the pap know what's happening? Education, Health, Infrastructure, Scial issues, Sports have all been grossly mismanaged.
What's LHL, TCH, Tharman, HSK, CCS, GKY, VB all been doing? higher GDP at all costs kills Singapore in the long run!

i can only hope that the Pee Ah Pee ministars read this and do some serious reflection.
if a country is run like a company where making profit is the top priority , good luck to all ye sinkies.
Perhaps, you may wish to consider emigrating for the sake of your children.
About 8 or 9 years ago, Iwhen I was visiting Singapore, I met with the young doctor, [nayr69sg] and his family.
This doctor and teacher wife, have migrated to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, a few years ago.
A few notes on my migration are as follow:
1. Born and raised in SG, completed NS, graduated from university in SG
2. worked a few months in SG, attended several NS reservist in camp trg
3. the travelled to Toronto, without knowing any individual
4. qualified as a CA in Canada
5. qualified as a trustee in bankruptcy (licensed by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy in Ottawa)
6. married with 4 young children
7. the children do not have much homework, and may not be under similar pressure like Singapore students
If I can be of any assistance or you wish to meet me for discussions, I have ben in SG for the past week, and leavin in a week. Please send me a private message.

PAP ministers know abt this. But the issue is whether they will do some serious reflection as they know that the next GE is at least four years away. they know that they are secure until then. That's the calibre of the pap ministers. They are self serving and dont care and wont do anything to improve the lives of Singaporeans unless it affects them
Hi Charlie99,
Thank you for your good suggestion.
Is the offer of assistance to Sarah Sum or to me?
CNA 3 May 2012:
"SINGAPORE: A 35-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly robbing a senior citizen and punching him in the face.
The incident happened at an apartment block along Eu Tong Sen Street on Monday afternoon.
The 85-year-old victim lost S$900 to the suspect and was left bleeding.
A resident of the block called for the ambulance after chancing upon him.
Police said the suspect, who is a permanent resident here, had befriended the victim recently before the attack.
The woman was arrested in Geylang on Wednesday afternoon and will be charged in court on Friday.
If convicted of robbery with hurt, she could be jailed up to 20 years."
This is the kind of PR the PAP has invited into Singapore! Crumbling of Singapore indeed!

LTY said today that the Ministry of Transport is reviewing whether it is possible to increase the number of COEs..His last annoucement was six months ago when he whacked the motoring public with a duble hammer...reduction of car growth and also rectfied Raymond Lim's mistake.
The public advised him then of the dire consequences of hiw twin hammer but the pap refused to listen.
Now after causing so much damage with runaway COE prices, he finally backed down.
Why didnt the pap consider the consequences of their bad policies before implementing them?

From I believe in Meritocracy:
"i think the capable parliamentarians would agree with me that GRC IS VERY UNMERITOCRATIC.
THE GOOD MPs WOULD PREFER TO STAND ON SINGLE WARDS TO PROVE THEIR CAPABILITIES;only those who are doubtful about their own abilities prefer the GRC."

SG's Low Fertility Rate:
"young people between the ages of 25 and 29 are reluctant to date or get married because they are too caught up trying to scale the corporate ladder.
“(Meritocracy) is what pushes our young Singaporeans into overdrive in paid work,” she said, before adding: “Because we are a capitalist economy, work achievements have transformed the way we deal with ourselves until it has become, for many, the only mark of success.”

Bro, there are many people are giving a lot of reasonable insights including Prof Lim and Prof Koh who are staunched supporters of the Govt and that brave grass-root who gave his honest, truthful feedback. But is the Govt listening? Or are they caught up in their own other world?
After seeing the pap struggling over the last five months since my 1st posting of this "Crumble of Singapore?" thread, my hope for SG has gone up by one notch.
LTY is back pedalling with his COE quota issue and the frequent MRT breakdowns.
Yaacob Ibrahim is messing up big time with his simplistic Code-of-Conduct proposal. Instead of freeing up the main media, YI is trying to stifle the internet! What a no brainer solution!
HSK is struggling with retaining good teachers, reviewing curriculum, pacifying parents and relieving students' stress.
KBW is messing it up with HDB sizes rather than coming out with viable housing solutions.
GKY is still struggling with how to relieve the hospital bed shortage and pacify the overworked health care workers
The pap is not thinking out of the box but is still stuck with its mindset of importing foreigners into SG as the only solution, disregarding the castastrophic consequences to SG's social landscape.
At such a trying time in SG, we need a strong leader but LHL is not providing the kind of leadership needed. LHL is instead running around and flapping like a headless chicken. So the end of the pap is at hand.
I see SG's political landscape undergoing six stages of changes:
1. Political awakening of the electorate by Opposition Leaders
2. Electorate supports Opposition leaders but PAP still retains power
3. Key PAP supporters speak out against bad policies due to their conscience
4. Majority of PAP grassroot members support the key PAP supporters
5. PAP MPs speak out against the Cabinet's policies.
6. Internal split within PAP and PAP loses its power.
The first two stages occurred in May 2011. One year after GE 2011, we see that we are at stage three of our poltical transformation. Key and staunch PAP supporters like Prof LCY, Prof TK, Prof PS and Ho Kwon Ping have openly spoken out against PAP policies. This is an astounding turn of events considering that it's only one year after GE 2011. Some grassroot leaders are also quietly showing discomfort. When will stage four occur when many grassroots are against the pap?
The end of the pap may come sooner rather than later as many political analysts have predicted.
The wind of change is blowing strongly in Singaporeans favour

Agree...I dont have much hope on the present pap leadership.
But the beauty of democracy is that the pap will be voted out shd they not do the people's will...the days of them muting and neutralising dissent is over.
Dawn has broken for Singapore and light is at the end of the tunnel for a glorious Singapore!
well said!
i can only hope that the Pee Ah Pee ministars read this and do some serious reflection.

Cant depend on the pap. I dont think the pap will change! Singaporeans got to depend on themselves to change Singapore
You are a blessing!
I am hoping that the pap will end before it does irreparable damage to SG
