Tip for Opposition: NOT ALL new citizens will vote the PAP

New a/k/a naturalized citizens behave the same way as "native" Sinkies do.

The former do worry about how much they are getting from the CPF. Remember they uprooted to migrate to Sinkapore for a better quality of living.

If you, the Opposition, can convince them that the government ought to be able to pay a much higher rate of say 6% or 7% compared to the current measly 2.5%, you will have them on your side.

Singapore is definitely much better than any shithole countries they came from.

And they are much more grateful people unless they have integrated beri well and become one of us.

A bunch of ungrateful people who feel everybody else owe us a living.

The way this works can be divided into 2 categories.

Those who have acquired citizenship and PR for temporary basis until they become eligible for OZ, Canada, US etc. they work for MNCs here.

The second category are those who know from day one that they will return home when they exploited this country. They certainly can buy a bigger home, afford a quality lifestyle at a cheaper outlay etc. These not only include 1st world Ang Mos but even mainland Chinese, Indians and Pinoys who know that Singapore is a great place to work and their savings can be converted to a bungalow when they go home. Look at the Malaysian Chinese. They stopped converting despite the fact that Malaysia treats them like dirt.

Agree. I have 5 Malaysian friends here. They came in the late 80s. None converted. All waiting to enjoy retirement in country if birth.
