I've been seeing many lamentations on why the PAP is immune to all the complaints and problems of the sg people. Here's something I want to share- i think it deserves a thread on its own.
This was told to me by a friend, who got to speak with a high-level civil servant at an event. This viewpoint is apparently shared by most high fliers in the civil service.
The civil scum was responding to my friend's question on why PAP policies were not addressing the citizens' problems enough.
"WE ARE NOT CONCERNED with the problems of ordinary sg people."
"What is singapore? Singapore REALLY consists of a small group of elites, top people who plan and run the economy. As long as this small irreplaceable group survives, singapore will survive."
"Therefore all our policies are geared towards helping this elite group survive. Without them, singapore will fail."
"As for the masses. They can be replaced and their problems are not singapore's problem."
It was also added that the most feasible economic plan mooted by the PAP was turning singapore into another Monaco - playground for the rich, but hell for ordinary sinkees who will wait on them, and always being overrun by cheaper foreigners.
Yes your fears are very real.
