Among my 5 close friends only got one support strong PAP supporter. Another 2 sit on the fence, the other 2 opposition supporters. Among us only one graduate, rest A or O levels ITE, ....the graduate is the most anti-PAP.
The pap supporter always kena teased by us because he always say pap is right...pap is good....pap is caring. We always laugh at him for being brainwashed everything on newspapers also believe. Some more his technician pay only $2K support whole family of wife and 2 children and elderly mom. Okay you may be wondering what has all this to do with the title of this posting. ...bear with me for a while.
His mother became Ill dizzy spell, vomiting, sometimes need to stay hospital 1-2 weeks then discharge. This has be been on and off for last 2yrs doctor can't pin point to one illness but most likely due to deteriorating health resulting from old age. Sometimes can pay from medisave other times pay out of pocket... so in and out of hospital specialist checks ...hospital stay very soon my friend's medisave exhausted. Everything need to pay out of pocket until half his savings gone.
Last long weekend we met up ....he suddenly said to us ..you all know medical in Singapore is very expensive. We all look at him machiam hopeless case...now then he bloody know...always say pap good everything affordable now then he know not true. Think pap compassionate caring heart try to apply medifund so long as you not completey broke they will make you pay.
Like my friend, I think many pple support pap out of ignorance. The moment they encounter various issues themselves then they wake up. Now if you are not rich in Singapore, you are likely to suffer great strain if you get sick, if you need a home, if you lose job or if you become old and cannot retire. Once people realise the pap system is very lopsided against normal pple, they will stop supporting.
So far you look at last election 40% against pap....by early this yr in PE election there is 10% swing against the pap, by now the people opposing pap would have grown due to people just waking up fromignorance.
Next 2016 GGeneral Election there will definitely be possibility of pap losing. However because the wp has said they are not ready to take over and run govt... most likely, fear of govt collapse will be used to force the electorate to reluctantly vote for the pap and continue their rule... it will be a showdown... a game of chicken with the electorate that now mostly oppose the pap
