Who the fuck did they interview for this survey?

[Administrator]

These Singaporeans must be idiots or retards.

Getting rich ranks low for Singaporeans

Contrary to popular belief, many Singaporeans do not consider the accumulation of wealth to be among their top values - it is actually one of the least significant. Instead, filial piety, as well as safety and security for their families, is tops for many here.

These were among the findings released on Aug 25 from a survey conducted as part of the Our Singapore Conversation and done jointly with the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS).

Researchers said that, while Singaporeans may consider certain values more important than others, this might not be the case in practice because many people could be bound by challenges due to their circumstances. The survey involved door-to-door interviews with 4,000 Singaporeans.

All these 'surveys' released by the mainstream media are propaganda and a sneak preview of some policy in the near future.

Naked you come, naked you go, sinkies are very blessed with this knowledge. Surely they will all go to heaven.

Joe, are you serious ?

As of now, OUR hard-earned CPF money are not given back to us at age 55.

I reiterate again, ARE YOU SERIOUS ?

Bro, our CPF monies can be considered as forgone liao. Mine is only left with about S$30k. Sadly, I cannot sell my 2 houses, otherwise, the returned CPF will be locked up for the Minimum Sum the very next day. Coupled with the automatic compulsory CPF Life purchase, don't even think of taking a single cent out thereafter. Ditto for my wife.

CPF money is not savings, but taxation on your disposable income.

The sooner you understand this truth the better it will be for you.

Very disappointing that most sinkies don't share the money values of pap leaders.

What kind of survey results would you expect from face to face interviews done by Government agents!

Question No. 1:

Surveyor: Do you think Pinky is doing a good job? Respondent: Hell no. Result: Standard electric shock for respondent.

Question No. 2:

Surveyor: Do you think you can do a better job if appointed PM? Respondent: Of course! Result: Life threatening electric shock.

These surveys can be rigged to get the results the Sinkie Government wants. Let me show you how:

"Contrary to popular belief, many Singaporeans do not consider the accumulation of wealth to be among their top values - it is actually one of the least significant. Instead, filial piety, as well as safety and security for their families, is tops for many here."

Filial piety, as well as safety and security for their families, is the top priority for pappies.
Haven't you realised that by now?
Their quest to accumulate wealth is simply a means to achieving that top priority.

What they don't realise or have forgotten is that when you are in power, public service or government, safety and security for the families of ordinary citizens should be the top priority.

Otherwise go and work for an MNC or start their own business, then they can concentrate on their own weath and the well being of their own families, and nobody will grumble at them.

Aiya, already used my CPF as much as possible to buy those 2 houses lah. But still cannot escape because the moment I sell any of them now, those amount used + interests will have to return to the CPF and then locked up for the Minimum Sum and not just for me, but also for my wife. So, just live in my 3rd house now and collect rents from the first 2. Anyway, all are fully paid and no more commitment to the banks.

I don't have houses in District 11, so they are not worth so much. Even at 4% interest from the CPF, but at the end of the day, can you really monetize your own hard earned money during your younger years. I don't trust those administrators because they keep shifting the "goal posts" until you cannot even smell your own money. Why should I let them manage my funds if I can be doing it myself?

"Yes, Minister" series are compulsory training videos for pappy running-dogs, ministers and would-be-ministers.

One's eyes would be opened and mind enlightened after watching it.

As usual, they did the survey in CHC during praise and worship.
