I understand you but do you think the govt will just change the CPF scheme just becoz one ignorant kid came out to ask for accountability???? Put yourself in the PMs shoe, whether did LHL decision to sue Roy is right or wrong let's put aside, but if you were LHL, will you give in???? Once you give in to one case, others will follow!!!
Roy will firstly be dealt with. Aftermath, the govt will then have ppl or during the National DAy Rally to address the CPF matter which can pacify Singaporeans easily!!!
Let's not forget Singaporeans are not are to tackle with!!! You know that, I know that, our dear govt knows that as well
Ya the govt will not change the CPF just because of Roy. Incidentally, I think they are also unable to even if they want.
PM should not give in just if Roy's criticisms are untruth. He must straighten the false allegation. To sue Roy is a bad move because the issue is not Roy, it is CPF. We can remove Roy but the CPF issue will still be there. People are not concerned about the real person called Roy. However, they equate the punishment meted on Roy to the extend the govt is trying to hide something on the CPF.
People cannot be pacified easily on the CPF issue because they want their CPF at 55. The want to reduce the minimum sum and medisave. These are things that the govt no longer has the capability to reverse. That is why I have mentioned that a GENUINE opp can easily use this issue alone to corner them in next GE. To many who "supported Roy", he is a "marker", a kind of indicator on how much the govt is trying to hide. The more elaborate the action on Roy, the more they are trying to hide - that is the view.
Quite true that the people are relatively easy to handle. However, economy has changed. Comfort and security level experienced have deteriorated. There is latent unhappiness and resentment. It is not displayed. This can be dangerous because the lack of clear signs will give false comfort to the leaders.
