I'm becoming really tired of being the only one here pointing out the fallacies contained in many of the anti government ramblings.
Most here seem to be too blinded by their personal hatred of certain PAP office bearers to think rationally.
For example, sweeping statements are made about how the government leaves to elderly to die in the gutters. However, life expectancy statistics paint an entirely different picture. Singapore is right up there with the best. Same goes for infant mortality. Singapore is always in the top 3 spots year after year.... hardly the sign of a government that is neglecting the health of its people.
Then there's the blame game where the government is held responsible for individual human failings such as gambling addiction. Nobody is forced to gamble in Singapore. The weak willed and the gullible opt to go down that path out of their own free will. Instead of giving these punters a hiding, the government faces the rap instead.
Another example.. the COE.. the government doesn't set the price. Sinkies are the ones who decide how much to bid based on what they feel is the value of owning a car. When it hits $100,000, it's because that's the value Sinkies place on the 10 year period it is valid for.
I could go on and on but I'm sure all of you understand where I'm coming from.
I'm running out of steam. If I don't get more assistance from intelligent, level headed Singaporeans who appreciate what the PAP has done in the past and how the party is confidently facing the future, I'm shutting this forum down and converting it to something a lot more lucrative.
A cesspool of lunatics does not add value to a domain. All it does is drain my finances. Why should I fund a site that is hell bent on destroying the government that I so respect.
If I do decide upon this course of action, all donors will have their donations refunded.
Will the PAP internet brigade please come and help out. I would hate to close the chapter on a site that I have nurtured for more than a decade but there is only so much one person can do.

Life is more than politics.
