Crumbling of Singapore?

Re: Lee Dynasty Laughing All The Way To The Bank

A different dialect is a different way of thinking which is a threat to dictators. Cantonese does not have 9 tones for nothing. How words are chained together and the noun phrases created dictate what concepts have more emphasis. For artificial bureaucratic languages they are lousy versions of computer languages. English in Singapore is not English as the way the language is allowed to be expressed is controlled to serve the ruling dictators. Fortunately, information rich encoded English comes into Singapore. And　the　internet　is　offering　a　challenge　to　the　ruling　dictators　who　are　very　starved　of　thoughts　besides being in power and lying to stay in power.

Thank goodness for the internet and new media. The problems in SG are surfaced and cant be swept under the carpet

Not When 20% Contributes 80%

A good govt knows how to balance the powers of different stakeholders in the country. The trouble in SG is that the pap favours the rich and businesses. The workers and the poor are marginalised. That is an unhealthy situation which will erupt in future if it is not resolved

When Lee said that politicians can no way please everyone. Read between the line - he meant that he's going to sacrifice the 80% and curry favour the rich (20%) when the rich contributes 80% into the coffer ! What does that looks like ? See below.

the signs are already present...Singapore is indeed in danger of crumbling.

With the huge influx of foreigners who have poor social skills, SG is very vulnerable.

With the high cost of living, true blue Singaporeans have poor quality life

What is there to look forward for the average SG except misery??

Good observation.

I hope more Singaporeans can see through LKY's true motive. he is self serving and doesnt care abt the miseries he inflicted onto the average Singapore.

Is the quality of life of the average Singaporean better in 2012 compared to 1980?

can imagine a lot of baby boomers looking at their CPF locked away into the minimum sum scheme or the CPF LIFE scheme... those post 60s and after can only envy those folks who got their CPF monies in the 90s

sad for the baby boomers and other singaporeans.

the baby boomers will not have enough in their CPF to see them through the remainder of their lives. this will put a severe strain on SG in the future. and this is the result of bad present pap policy of allowing CPF to be used for housing, medical, etc...the use of CPF to cater to present wants rather than for old age needs.

it is even worse for future Singaporeans...with the high cost of living in SG, how much wld a singaporean need to have in future for their old age? will $500k enough for a singaporean to last from 65years to 90years?

The social implications of present pap policies are horrendous!

crumbling of Singapore indeed!!

 

[ckmpd]

another very bad pap policy that will cause the crumbling of Singapore is the influx of cheap foreign labour. this caused many social problems.

also the cheap labour allows marginal businesses to thrive and doesnt compel SG businesses to be creative nor innovative. because of availability of cheap labour many supermarkets eg NTUC, Shop&Save go 24 hrs. Is there a need for supermarkets to do that? they do that because the pap allows them cheap labour..if labour is priced correctly to the cost of living, these supermarkets will have to reorganise and rethink their strategies...at present they just abuse labour because it is cheap

Where is Tracy Tan? She has stopped posting?

Wasn't she worried about meeting her husband's ex wife or something?

Where is Tracy Tan? She has stopped posting?

maybe she is overseas or busy?

or maybe she has grown tired of social media?

If the pap continues with its "money is everything" policies, it is only a matter of time before SG crumbles.

How can a country be managed only based on money considerations? everything is "money talks" in SG!

If you want to own a car, be one of the successful bidders! if you want to work, be one of the lowest priced! and the pap is allowing the world of 7 billion people to come into SG to bid against Singaporeans!!!

if you want to be treated for your sickness, be prepared to pay market rate!

The crumbling of Singapore indeed is a matter of time unless the simplistic and silly pap policies are rescinded

 

[rodent2005]

No one is discounting PAP's contibution but Singapore works not due to the PAP alone but also due to the ordinary Singaporeans as well. If the PAP is the only reason, why is it unable to replicate its success anywhere else in the world?

Yes..many Singaporeans, including me, are thankful to the pap for bringing Singapore forward from the 1960s to 2000. But the pap then was different from the present pap under LHL.

The pap we are thankful for was under LKY, GKS, SR, EWB, HSS, TCC, etc who truly cared for Singaporeans.

Look at the scums in the pap now..LHL, TCH, Tharman, Shanmugum, LSS, KBW, etc.. We dont have to be thankful fpor this bunch of self servincing politicians.

Let us differentiate the past PAP from the present PAP. We are thankful for the past PAP but we must not let that gratitude blind us that we cant see the difference. The present pap, unlike the past pap, is an uncaring animal which will devour Singaporeans

The problem with SGP downfall is not due to Poor oppositions representation or PAP policies.

But the wrong values that majority of Singaporeans have.

Only by discarding the wrong values only the country has hope.

If not, only FTs could fix the problems by replacing the locals.

There are 3million plus Singaporeans and everyone of us has different values. I disagree with you that Singaporeans values can cause the crumble of SG.

I think the single most important factor that will cause the crumbling of SG is the self serving PAP.

 

[callmebad]

can't help getting this feeling of Singapore crumbling when 60% of voters still wanted an incompetent government to return to power
with most Singaporeans so afraid of changes, eventually when their mind shift, the damage may be hard to reverse by then
we have only ourselves to blame
we voted in the government we deserve!

 

[ns is killing singapore]

it's because they all wanted STABILITY. Hence, they are afraid of change, and that's why PAP being returned to power everytime on this ground,cause wanting stability is not wrong after all.the reason is right by itself, but obsessing with it is wrong.

When they had run out of ideas, that's what they want. The situation has already become a cash cow. They begin to milk money out of Singaporeans. It's the new found wealth ! When corruptions are not stopped, COE, ERP, HDB, SBS, and everything else will follow to make profits for the minority (loot dividing). It's a big biz. There's no unions to stop them.


- 'How PAP uses taxpayer-funded grassroots for political gain': "The People’s Association (PA), ..Like all other stat boards, it receives a yearly grant from the government to run its programmes and cover operational costs. .. It spent a total of $320 million last year.However unlike most stat boards, whose chairmen are usually the permanent secretary of the parent ministry or some other senior civil servant, PA’s chairman is none other than the Prime Minister [pict]. .. No other public sector board in Singapore has so many “Men in White” on it..." [G Giam, 10Oct2009].

SG's past Alternative Political leaders like JBJ, Francis Seow and Tang Liang Hong were sharp and good political leaders. But because they were against the PAP, they were marginalised unfairly by the ruling party.

So, guess who was the cause of the sad political environment then?
