C'mon Mah Bow Tan, when are you and your colleagues going to stop trying to pull wool over our eyes? You think we are going to listen to your bullshit after what your Government have done to Singaporeans for the past 4 years?

SINGAPORE : Residents of Tampines took a walk down memory lane, through a musical specially brought in as part of National Day celebrations.
The musical traces the days when the area was mostly made up of villages or kampongs, as well as quarry land and plantations, to the thriving and modern estate it is today.
The National Development Minister and MP for Tampines GRC, Mah Bow Tan joined residents at the celebration.
In his speech, he said Singapore is also changing into a more attractive place - not just for Singaporeans, but also for many people from around the world.
However, some Singaporeans are concerned about competition from the new immigrants.
Mr Mah hopes Singaporeans understand the need to welcome them to help make Singapore an even more vibrant and attractive home.
He stressed that the government will also put Singaporeans always come first.
"There is no question about that. It must be so. This is our home, which we have built over many years together. This 'Singaporeans first' approach is seen in all of our policies, whether housing, education, or healthcare," said Mr Mah.
"Eventually, some of the Permanent Residents (PRS) will join the Singapore team as our new citizens. We will allow them to do so, gradually and selectively. This helps to rejuvenate and reinvigorate ourselves," he added. - CNA /ls
