alex: your comments on high medical costs - In the PM's National Day Rally this year, he has emphasized the importance of a keeping a healthy lifestyle, continue exercising and not smoking. This is a long term solution. The 3Ms and means testing are also in place to help everyone, especially lower-income families to pay off hefty medical bills. Other than the 3Ms and means testing, there is a whole list of other health policies and schemes available for everyone.
Do you prefer to spoon feed your people? Welfare State is an easy way out. In the long run, the people will only become more dependant on the Government. They will complain too, if the Government decides one day that they cannot afford to pay the medical expenses of Singaporeans anymore. We got a Country to run. We need to save for a rainy day. It is not like your daily allowance of $10 for school, where you can afford to spend $9 and save $1. So, you also expecting subsidy for other expenses such as transport and food?

alex: your comments on unemployment and HDB flats - Wow! You are so generous. $10/hr minimum wage and $500/mth minimum claim for unemployed Singaporeans. Isn't this a joke? Get paid $10/hr for shaking that bubble milk tea or selling curry puffs at the counter? Everybody stops working and shake their legs at home. They can start collecting receipts for their nasi briyani and teh tarik to submit claims to the Government. Will you also accept receipts from Fairprice or Sheng Siong for ice-cream and tidbits? What is Singapore going to be like if we subscribe to your so called Welfare State solution. Absurd!

alex: your comments on unemployment and HDB flats - Are you considering renting one room in your flat to a PR or foreigner? Your parents like it? Mine don't. But, my parents prefer inviting our PR neighbours and their foreign colleagues to join us at Block Parties and occasionally participate in festive celebrations organised by the Grassroots Leaders. When there is a potluck get-together, we invite them for chit-chat to catch up with one another. I bet you have not tried that because you are anti-PRs and foreigners. What a pity!
Anyway, can you imagine all our PRs and foreigners deprived of buying a flat and they all have to rent a room or two with a Singaporean family. What happens to PRs and foreigners coming with their families? What happens to PRs who wish to get married and start a family nucleus? You want to ban PRs from buying a house in Singapore?! This is one hilarious idea to encourage social integration. Think and aim before you shoot. Grow up!

alex: your comments on unemployment rate - It is easier said than done. Remove at least 50% of foreign workers. You think it is as easy as you dropping 3 O Level subjects out of 6? You think it is as easy as you asking for half the serving of rice at your chicken rice stall? Are you prepared to clean the toilets, or clear the tables at hawker centres, or sweep the streets, or clean a tall building, or work at the construction site, or even drive a lorry? Where is your evidence that talented Singaporeans are going overseas to work? Stop becoming a drama mama. We are all talents, in one way or another. It is not helpful to just assume and think we all buy your stories. We all talk about track record.

alex: your comments on terrorism and racial harmony - Come on... how much do you really know about the ground? You only read the blogs and forums on the internet? Have you served in a community or grassroots organisation before? 1 year? 2 years? What an insult to soldiers! You said they don't use their brains? Did you serve NS in the Army or Police? You said NS is useless, now you want more NSFs to serve in the Police. Oxymoron. Do you know NS is not all about the Army? Have you got better and sophisticated solutions to offer, other than suggesting to remove non-English speaking foreign workers? You are not getting enough of foreigners labelling Singapore as a "fine" city? How do you define anti-social behaviours and when do you hand out summons? People like you will complain again when a summon comes your way. Grow up!</TD></TR><TR><TD> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

alex: your comments on lecturers in local universities and NS - Hey, remember you said many of your friends can't stand the "rapping" by lecturers from Hong Kong and India? Why not your friends take over them? Why not you? Come on... you know you all can't do better than these lecturers. Stop pointing fingers at others. Look at yourself at the mirror first. How can NS not help in Singapore's defence and security? Have you lost your mind? NS is here to protect us and our loved ones. While you are reading and typing away here peacefully, do you know how many of our Singaporean men and women are on duty and standby just for us? Do you seriously want others to help you protect your parents and friends? Where is your sense of responsibility and filial piety? Grow up!

alex: your comments on democracy and freedom - Questions on electoral boudaries had been answered over and over again. You and Su Mee, do your readings please. If not, participate in dialogues and forums. Online blogs and forums are just not enough. Don't worry. Your turn has not come for ISD to visit you. So you think protest and petition is the way to go? You rather SDP organise some anti-CPF procession to cause traffic congestion and inconvenience to others? How peaceful is peaceful? So, you prepared to see your parents walk past a protest one day and get thrown stones at?
Come on... I rather my Channel 5 News tell me more about how new citizens join residents and grassroots leaders to appreciate Chinese tea and mooncakes or who is next to sign a FTA with us. I do not wish to see on television any interview with my friends for getting hurt from a protest along Orchard Road, or yours truly when you get caught participating in a SDP peaceful protest or procession?
