Please allow me to alter or rephrase with costs...
1. When we tell them that GLCs are marginalising the small businesses for government tenders, PAP says for greater synergy and economy of scales.
2. When we say foreigners are taking away our jobs, they say foreigners are here to create jobs and help to grow GDP.
3. When PMETs cannot find jobs, they say degree holders can earn $5k (ref: SMU student).
4. When we highlight about the huge income divide, they say winner take all.
5. When we complain about long waiting time and high cost of healthcare, they say only $8 for heart by-pass.
6. When we say HDB flats are unaffordable, they say they are affordable even though you earn $1,000 a month.
7. When we say we have little left for retirement, they say top up CPF.
8. When we say Ministers are the highest paid in the world, they say corporate CEOs earn much more.
9. When we say COEs do not ease road congestions, they say cars are for the riches.
10. When we say buses and MRT are too crowded, the Public Transport Council raised fares.
And, so on...
