Yes true, i don't disagree. There are parameters where Sg has outstripped many western countries. I was just commenting that the govt is not cheating the people.
Show me which povernment fulfils all election promises. There are promises which are made and the prioritised. Some of those get fulfilled. No elected govt has fulfilled all their promises. As long as they are not causing material harm to the people and increasing prosperity the PAP has done very well.Oh I see, you know Singapore more than I do?
How many elections have you gone through? Do you know how many elections I went through and in every each election promises were made but unfulfilled?
Changing electorate boundaries at their own whims and fancies is not cheating what is? A minister was caught inside a polling station was found not guilty because he was not within the radius stipulated
Reservation of a presidential seat for a particular race to prevent qualified candidates from participating was unconstitutional and shameless. An Indian was hurriedly converted to a Malay.
Look you are here less than 18 years naturally you'll find everything here amazingly suitable and beneficial because you can never have them in your motherland a country 3 class below Singapore. New policies legislated here do not affect you because they protect you at our expense.
Young man don't be too enthusiastic in praising this government too fervently because you and your family have a long journey ahead.
Seventeen years here is a short time to experience any misfortune. Wait till your son go to the army and see if you can sleep peacefully. Many were killed during peace time in NS due to negligence, accidents and suicides. And should your son died in a mishap, pray to your elephant god that the same government you adored handle the matter to your satisfaction.
The country you came from have only one race which the elected PM have problems gelling them together what can you contribute in this forum to make the four races here integrate further?
Or are you here to justify and advocate CECA?
I have not seen a govt do so much for its citizens as sg.Wow beginning to sound like a seasoned PAP which I think I had enough. I have only this to say. Do not let the hands that used you bite you.
Sinkie is a safe haven for chinese from indonesia and Malaysia. Hongkies I think avoid singapore preferring bangkok which is far cheaper and more rational than say KL.Do you find the figures believable?
Is SG getting less crowded? So why is property still hot if the population is shrinking? Doesn't add up.
Four million smiles when population be cum 6.9 mil. Guess who smiling?This is merely a blip, a rounding error.
Remind me when the population gets reduced to a more suitable number... for example, the 'Four Million Smiles' not too long ago.

DELETEDPlease do share. I only remember the apology made by lhl. After that I only think for myself
What do you want me to share you? Money and girlfriend cannot others maybe.
PM Lee: If we didn’t get it right, I’m sorry (2011)
"If we didn't get it right, I'm sorry. But we will try better the next time."
It was an apology that Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong saw fit to repeat twice on Tuesday during the People's Action Party (PAP) first lunchtime rally at Boat Quay next to UOB Plaza.
PM Lee acknowledged the government's initiatives have resulted in "side effects", such as problem gambling among Singaporeans due to the opening of the Integrated Resorts.
He also cited the congestion in public transport because of the increased intake in foreigners.
"These are real problems, we will tackle them. But I hope you will understand when these problems vex you or disturb you or upset your lives, please bear with us, we are trying our best on your behalf," said PM Lee to a crowd of about a thousand.
The secretary-general of the PAP continued, "And if we didn't quite get it right, I'm sorry but we will try better the next time."
"Never forget that we are here to serve the voters, to serve Singaporeans and not to lord it over people," he said,
I don't know what the PAP has said. Thus is what I can see on the ground.You are just repeating what PAP had said long before you came. Part of your learning I guessed.
Today pre covid, the congestion is not as bad as in the past. Many new lines ha e opened. There is no evidence that Sg is afflicted by gambling due to IR. Sg has largely been unscathed by the global fin rises and the SGD is strong. The number of foreign workers is down by 10%. Property price has not runaway like in most other places. The increase is nominal again compared to other places.PM Lee: If we didn’t get it right, I’m sorry (2011)
