GE2025 is over. The votes are in.
The scam continues.
Let’s not sugarcoat it: Singaporeans have once again voted for their own slow destruction. Not because they didn’t know better — but because they didn’t want better. Fear won. Comfort won. Obedience won. Change? Dead on arrival.
This country has become a masterclass in soft authoritarianism, dressed up as democracy. The population is so thoroughly conditioned that they will cheer as their standard of living collapses, as long as they’re told it's “necessary” and “orderly.” The PAP didn’t need to win hearts. Just needed to remind you that things could always be worse.
And that was enough. Again.
The Illusion That Fooled a Nation
Many Singaporeans have clung to the illusion of progress — the upgraded HDBs, the occasional SkillsFuture course, the glossy brochures promising “resilience” and “renewal.” These symbols of managed prosperity convinced the middle class to stay loyal. “Look how far we’ve come,” they said.
But here’s the reality check: your children will pay the price.
They will inherit a city too expensive to live in, too rigid to move up in, too unequal to hope in. For most, life will be a lifelong treadmill — and the faster they run, the more they’ll realize the finish line was a mirage.
A few might escape. The rest will stay chained — white-collar slaves in a gilded economy, told to be grateful, always grateful, even as they drown quietly.
The Next Five Years: Decay on Schedule
1. Everything Will Get More Expensive — And You’ll Just Accept It
GST is up. Electricity bills are up. Transport costs are up. Public healthcare is inching toward American-style pricing. And wages? Flat, if you're lucky. Falling, if you're honest.
But Singaporeans won’t protest. They’ll budget harder, cut back, blame themselves, and vote the same.
2. Singaporeans Will Keep Losing Jobs in Their Own Country
The displacement is no longer subtle. Foreign hiring loopholes remain wide open. Employers chase cheaper, hungrier workers. CECA and other trade deals ensure a constant pipeline of competition — subsidised by your taxes.
But speak up? You’ll be told you’re being “xenophobic.” So we stay quiet, get retrenched, eat humble pie and apply for poorer-paying jobs.
