1. They tell us our land is scarce and precious.... if that's so why use it to host 40% of our foreign population when Singaporeans have difficulty getting homes.
2. They say they want higher fertility but overcrowding is a main cause of low fertility
3. They say we need strict rules on speech and politics because Singaporeans will behave in a way that cause racial and religious tension ...but expect us to quickly accept and integrate to foreigners they bring in.
4. They told us bilingualism is important those who are weak at English or 2nd language will have limited educational opportunities many Singaporeans cannot go university because fail English last time... but they are willing to accept prc students who can't speak one line of proper English.
5. For ordinary pple subsidy is bad... for elites be it free education through scholarship, $8 heart surgery, cushy jobs in GLC in the bar of meritocracy... no limit to benefits perks and state financed luxury.
6. For political leadership, competition is bad so. must make sure playing field is not level for opposition For ordinary Singaporeans competition is good, bring in more foreigners to compete against us
7. They say Singaporeans are not creative or innovative like others but stifle the media like recent Internet legislation that will reduce creativity and innovation
8. They say need to maintain world class standard for our university so no choice but to fill it with foreigners... but most send their children to foreign universities rather than NUS.
9. They (Lim swee say) say hiking ordinary Singaporeans pay causes inflation... what a joke as if they care... hiking GST did not cause inflation?
10. Liberal democracy is not good for Singapore so we are told....but the elites shamelesly court institutions like Yale that are products of liberal democracies.
11. They say what they do is for our own good. I shudder to think they will do more for our own good... pm Lee once said if pple pay more for medical they would take care of their health and get sick less often hence expensive medical care is good for your health but the elites pay nothing when they get sick and get best treatment... that's also good for you because you're are a mess without them
12. Extremely high defense spending is needed so that Singapore is not invaded by foreign countries... look around you...do you not feel invaded already? In a few years Singaporeans will be a minority in their own country and it is not a big deal in the 6.9M plan/projection.
13. They say they have a world class education system... but when they want to import foreign talent they say we are not producing enough local talent... Philippines education system is also very goo graduates.... because we have no problem taking in thousands of their graduates... remember lky close down nantah because he said their graduates no good but those produced by Philippines university is very good.
14. Educating too many Singaporeans to university level is not good because economy don't have jobs for them... but when they want to take foreigners with degree they justify by saying qualified singaporeans cannot be found for the job.
15. They say helping the poor is bad - will produce a welfare state. Then they ask Singaporeans to be more charitable to the poor through. What is the difference if we give because they tell us we should give vs they tax us to give to the poor because our society should do more for the poor and underprivileged. This has produced a mess of having numerous small charities with duplicated disorganised help for the poor - not to mention fraud, abuse of funds and inconsistent criterias and inefficiency for dissemination of funds.

An entertaining read, and most points raised are so damn true.
