A better SGP which never came true?

[sodoMee]

A truly world class governance for peasants...but that's an idealism...we will never get...

How would SGP really turn out for the better if LKY didn't play cheat by arresting these people who fought in real elections..:(

He can say what he wants but will SGP settle for the lower living standard? True what he plans might sound better but consider this. This little red dot have no natural resources will MNC come in and invest if all these union, welfare and worker benefits were set up? I seriously doute so they might just have moved up north and set up shop there. The present goverment just took the easy way out and sacrifice the mass to suit the few. However the mass still enjoy the higher standard of living than our neighbours up north and down south. Hence no matter how the present govt. screw with the masses they will still be elected because they have seen how bad it is down south and dare not do otherwise.

Yes, not only north and south, but also our immediate east and west.

How can it be otherwise? Singaporeans buys 5-room HDB flats in 1980s cost $35,000, but now same flats have value above $450,000. The PAP has enhanced your flat value.

In 1965 most Singaporeans sat in smoky pirate taxis and rode one-speed bicycles, but now they ride in air-con MRTs, LRTs, sat in Mercedes taxis and drive their Lexus and BMWs along wide expressways. How good can that be?

In 1970s a clerk earned $140 a month, but now she earns $1500 a month + a 13th month bonus + good economic progress bonus and baby bonuses. How bad can that be?

If Barisan ever comes to power, may be Sporeans will be working in oil fields of Saudi Arabia, the oil palm plantations of Malaysia and our girls will become brides of PRC men in China.

You tell me why 33.3% of the voters still want to vote against the PAP? LKY will say "It's unbelievable!" Our grandparents or great grandparents will dig themselves out of their graves to vote for a PAP government.
