There is nothing you hope for PAP. History has shown that once an elite has entrenched themselves in power, they will only act to protect their privileges (and even increasing on this privileges as human behaviour always wants more). Expect them to squeeze the local more and more dry.
I agree wholly with your statement..
The correct word is
......EXACT...
One book on Why Nation fail wrote extensively on this topic..
We can see this in our present government under PM LHL..
How much have they taken from us by various means and guises.
COE...high levies to enrich the coffer. They made more than the car manufacturer
Maid, workers levies...they made more than the ordinary workers.
Additional stamp duties....they made more than the developer with the 15% risk-free and cost free levy.
Liquor excise tax...they made more than the breweries ( our beer here is most expensive )
PM salary and salaries of the Elite.... they exact the highest amount and write their own blank cheques.
AND
Social welfare and health expenditure....we spend the least amongst developing nations ( abt 3.5 % of GDP) and we are made to pay more and more.
No Government in the world controls their economy more than Singapore and much of it is crony economy.
No country in the world is more expensive than Singapore as we clinch the top title and also one of the world wealthiest with lots of imported millionaires.
( His idea is to stratify the nation.. a clear divide between the Elite and the peasants)
In short words.
THIS IS AN EXACTING GOVERMENT.. and we must give our thumbs down to them.
( To some, it is the middle finger).
