It is truly difficult for an average joe like me in singapore. To buy a car, to buy a house, to get an COE et al.
Why is it so complicated, multiple rules and ad hoc rulings, all of which is basically the sign of a bloated and inefficient civil service.
Take the mundane task of leasing a HDB flat from the government for 99 years, it seems that i have to refer to HDB, refer to CPF, refer to banks, just to determine, what subsidies i can qualify for, what loans i can take etc.
Needless complexity, when we can use the time spent to understand these useless artifcial constructs that are only applicable in singapore, on more productive matters.
I suppose if you cannot rule a population by force, you can always divert the population into mindless activities to make sure, that they do not engage in political discourse.
