LKY now dead and gone but current leadership did not have to carry on PWP 6.9 million if current circumstances unfavourable to pursue it.
Do it Najib's way. Once Old Horse out of the way, all his polices including the crooked bridge thrown to the wind. Current pappies' leadership ball-less, still clinging to the ghost of the past while trying to fix problems of the future. Najib seems to have more balls than you know who.
.....I also spoke to one SMEs owner after the elections who's a GENUINE Singaporean using your words. He told me he has no choice but to vote for PAP cause SPRING has supported him in many ways for his business.... It's not just pure words but actions can be seen...
Rather easy to see the difference between immigrants of the past and those immigrants of the present.
Decades ago, immigrants from foreign lands came to sinapor when still British colony, a hard rock place, filled with crimes, triads, joblessness, hard life, a place for only those determined to work hard, no free lunch, a place of widespread poverty and slums. Those were foreign immigrants who struggled and died in a foreign land but they left behind their off-springs who became citizens of modern sinapor.
Present foreign immigrants came to a well developed country with their two balls, no sweat, no tears to contribute to development of sinapor, some even with fake degrees and CV to obtain shitizenship.
It is all ready made to provide them good life, good schools, good jobs. They walked in and took away jobs, HDB flats and places in schools from locals born and bred in sinapor whose parents, grandparents were either born in sinapor or were early batch of foreign immigrants who died in sinapor to make the country successful.
What did the present immigrants contribute? Nothing. NS? Sweat or tears? Pappies open the door to these foreign immigrants today to screw locals so as to stay in power. Nothing else matters as long as power remains in their hands. Why these foreign immigrants not heading for Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos? Why sinapor? Aren't they faking to take shitizenship with return ticket to their homeland when sinapor is another Greece?
Never say never, hor. Locals can die standing in the country, no where to flee. These fake foreign sinkies can still flee to where they came from.
....What's the use of having more oppos in parliament when people like you still want PAP to be in power???? Ain't your statement contradicting????...
Please remember not all SMEs are owned by local sinkies, hor. Foreign fake sinkies also operate SMEs, including those holding SPRs. Pappies don't care who owns SMEs as long as it is registered with ACRA.
If Spring really cares about helping SMEs, then help only those SMEs owned by sinkies, why included SPR owned SMEs as well?
Common sense tells us SPRING cannot help every SME in the country. Why help foreign owned SMEs and deny assistance to another sinkie owned SME? Voting for pappies does not guarantee assistance from SPRING as long as foreign owned SMEs are also allowed to qualify for assistance.
....The fact you or the oppos still want PAP to be the ruling party coz the results are there..... If the PAP is still in power, even you have a 49% of oppo in parliament do you think this oppos can check on PAP???? Naive thinking!!!...
True democracy permits people to put in more than one political party into Parliament. Only an autocratic Govt forbids people to do so and will try all antics to ensure it remains in sole control of Parliament, just like the saying "father knows best."
Times have changed in snapor, sooner or later, pappies will lose their grip on Parliament. GE 2015 can be said to be a freak election giving pappies the undeserved win in the face of strong support for other oppo parties.
If pappies are overthrown overnight in one election, sinapor will be chaotic. Rome was not built in a day. Also, no oppo party can crush popularity of pappies in one election. It will take many elections but the beginning has begun unless pappies can show sinapor is for sinaporans born and bred in the country and their policies reflect this principle. Until then, locals will have to accept pappies as the rulers and let oppo parties find their own footholds.
...Do you know how many true born Singaporeans like you went to SPRING or IE cheating all those grants offer by this agencies..... After they gotten their grants, it's either they close shop or they don't deliver the project that they present to the agency initially.... All this fraud are mainly done by your so-called local GENUINE Singaporeans...
Local sinkies are indeed lucky pappies is not a corrupt political party. What if it was corrupt? Any other political party in Parliament to maintain check and balance on pappies? Nothing can be taken for granted.
Recent events up north shows what is unexpected can happen. Being a small country, similar scandal means the end of the island. Pappies' claim of "ownself checks ownself" is indeed childish. In sinapor, having significant oppo party presence in Parliament is better than no presence at all.
Beginning with LKY, Woody and current leadership, all seems fine and well. Scandal free, nothing to set the alarms ringing to cause panic. But how long can it last? What if LHL is gone, Woody is gone, what next? Can anyone guarantee pappies being the power in Govt will remain good and fair? So, it is not wrong to clamour for a multi parties parliament.
Agencies like SPRING or IE only helps those with Singapore citizenship....
...alamak, you seem not to know foreigners who became sinkies fronted companies to apply for assistance from SPRING; the true owners of the SMEs are foreigners. Of course, other local sinkies acting in collusion with foreigners also boarded the same wagon to take advantage of the dumb SPRING.
I am not sure if you are right.
I think the requirement is business with minimum minority local shareholding, something like 30% shares held by Singapore citizen or PR.
...If the population is shrinking, then the government has to act 10 or 20 years before hand. Look at the aging problems in Japan and many other cities....
...And this company must be wholly owned by Singaporean in order to received 100% support from IE....
For instance, if a company is 60% SG n 40% foreign, IE will still offers grant and help but based on that 60%....
...When the government offer assistance, the government or the agency is dumb but when they don't, ppl like you are complaining that government is doing nothing. Ain't you slapping your own mouth!!!...
....Yes, what will happen when LHL is gone... Good question! Which he has address that the 4th generation is coming up!!!!
How old is LTK now???? You mean you want a person like LTK who can't even speak proper english to lead Singapore????...
....All the HDB in Singapore can be paid in installment using CPF and not cash and when Singaporeans make a profit out of their HDB sales, did anyone claim that the government was bad???? Find an answer for yourself please!!!!
If pappies could see pop shrinking, they should have implemented pro family procreation policies to get sinkies to produce more babies. Resorting to import foreigners to replace aging pop is a short cut measure. These foreigners were not born and raised in sinapor. What feeling do they have for this island, except it is a nice place to make a living.
Moreover, many of these foreigners were from countries where violence is their common trait. Ah nehs, vietcongs, pinoys, tiongs .... they are not law abiding people. Pinoy children are already openly saying pinoys will take over sinapor one day.
Think abut it. What will become of sinapor if pappies continue to ignore locals' interest and continue to import foreigners? We may not live long enough to see the outcome but all our children and grandchildren should have a country to be proud of, a country where they were born and raised.
It is not difficult to find locals to be the fall guys to front ownership of companies whose true ownership remains in the hands of foreigners. Nevertheless, if foreigners are still able to enjoy grants from SPRING, partnering these fall guys is still not a bad proposition.
Nothing to jump for joy when a Govt offers assistance to local companies. It happens in all countries which seek to promote export of products and service of their home grown companies except in sinapor where foreign controlled companies are also given the same assistance. This is wrong.
