Tiagong, 61% very angry that Oppie jin jlb,
always tahan our kind and humble ministers
The insignificant nobody simpleton me will agree with you that the 61% are angry, but NOT about our Elected legislators & Cabinet Ministers being Tekan by the Opposition political members, regardless if the opposition were ELECTED or not but speaking from the sidelines instead of in Parliament, but because
the opposition political members are fighting over IRRELEVANT matters which makes little sense to their constituents & citizens, or impact to their lives & livelihood.
a) Inflation and rising medical costs. These are the 2 most CRITICAL issues voters face now. Had the opposition political parties done anything about it?
NONE.
Only the current elected legislators are attempting to do so with all the resources & support of the State & People.
All the other political parties had done is to scream loudly, even as a minority, against Elected legislators & Cabinet Ministers whom in an essence whom are merely performing their duties to 3.5 Million Citizens & another 1.5million living here over TRIVAL matters such as rentals of State Land for their national capacity use
b) the opposition political parties accusations of SLA make no sense. SLA is responsible for LAND USE, not just rental or else any real estate agency can take over. SLA will have to study & research critical lands - soil density, road access, priorities, etc, & such will TAKE YEARS of study & considerations in order to derive MAXIMUM benefit to owners - citizens & next generations. That it was vacant only PROVES prudent & pragmatic management in SLA.
c) Amount of HDB owners on that land if it was used to create homes. I abhor Mr Lim Tean's attempt to PUSH responsibilities to another citizen on the miscalculation of land size & amount of homes that land can create, which is misleading & in real estate terms - MISREPRESENTATION. That piece of land can at only at most fill a few hundred homes when amenities such as corridors, lifts, power substations, gardens, spacing between blocks, carparks, etc are taken into consideration, as HDB & other Stat Boards had done successfully.
d) While the amount of trees cut down on that property may seem substantial, but hundred thousands of trees had been cut down for millennia even in Singapore if not the World. It is good to be environmentally conscious, but equally, priority must be placed upon survival - Human sentient beings OR trees?
Ultimately, our govt had been environmentally conscious for years - for each tree cut down, measures were in place to either replace with NEW growth or replant the trees elsewhere, which accounts for the NUMEROUS amount of trees on our streets when compared to horrifically urban planned of other nations, where not even a tree is in sight along roads stretched for miles in inhabited towns.
Thus, in the end, what had the opposition political parties DONE, or ACHIEVED within their own elected townships, to prove progress rather than to delve in IRRELEVANT envy politics?
Our Founding Fathers do accept opposition political parties in our Democracy & its institutions that they & our forefathers had built up, or NO other political party would be allowed to exist today, but the political parties MUST prove their worth, as our Founding Fathers had done, immense courage, intelligence, perseverances, with sacrifices in the face of haughty colonial masters & racists overlords along with their brutal means to hinder REAL egalitarian progress that leaves no one, or at least the majority, behind.
Our Founding Fathers & Forefathers won, against ALL ODDS, & gave us our today thru their extreme hard work, & thus a LEGACY that any political party in Singapore will have to be tried & tested despite all odds, to prove worthy to lead & progress our Singapore Civilization.
