For god sake, this is a ND message not election rally. There is no need to act so angry infront of the camera, many cannot relate to his message because he painted a excessive bad picture to Singapore, I am not saying red dot is perfect country but from GMS points, my friends thought that he was giving PAP credit instead of putting them down. On a contrary overseas friends think that they felt blessed that if the main issue they face in their country is about getting foreigners to work in their country, appreciation of their property and overcrowding in public transport can be used as a political tools.
In contrast LHL painted a hopeful and bright future for sinkies, psychologically most people will tend to lean towards positive message even if that may not be truthful..
Dear Green Light,
Thank you for your feedback.
Different places will have different perspective. Singapore is a very small city state without depth like country side. eg. unlike other places, if you feel crowded in the city area, you can move out to the suburb or even the country side. In Singapore, there is no other places you could go unless you want to camp in Bukit Timah hill.
Thus, from this perspective, over-population will have a higher impact on the quality of life here and Singaporeans know it very well. This is a legitimate concerns of Singaporeans.
The crux of the msg is not about anti-FT, but rather, the failure of PAP govt to put up proper planning ahead before they start to open up the flood gates.
I may sound "angry" but there is no anger in me. Not a sign of anger on my face. Maybe I should have done better in projection of my voice.
Singapore is built on the core values of "Meritocracy" and "accountability" is the most important part of Meritocracy. One can demand super high salary but there must be accountability. That is the gist of it. IF not, that would be a mockery of Meritocracy.
