The recent actions by the PAP deliver this key message: "Singaporeans, you don't have to work/study hard and smart to get ahead anymore. Just start complaining, and we'll forget whatever social compact we had to pander to this vocal minority".
I had for all my life believed in your push for meritocracy, in making the right choices, in working hard and smart, in being careful with my money and saving for a rainy day. But just because of the vocal minority, you have devalued my home, and made whatever dreams of retiring on my asset value disappear. You have devalued my car, and made it difficult for me to buy a new one. You have increased business costs so significantly, it's going to trickle down to my dinner table. Why have you punished those who have believed in you, and worked and saved hard so that we can reap rewards later? So that the lazy and irresponsible can benefit?
You have wiped out the future vibrancy and growth of Singapore, and whatever future my kids have in this city. People now need not look to themselves to strive higher and work harder - all they need to do now is to complain, hold protests, and vote WP and you will give in.
Dear PAP, you have lost my vote, and it is time to migrate.
