What's up with the PAP continuously harping on the so-called Singapore Dream of late? It's not happening anymore no thanks to them!

The Singapore Dream is now outlined as follows:

Education
- those who are lousy in studies, end their studies after Poly. Then grad to earn $2.5k. Most will then end up with useless part-time business management degrees.
- those who are good in their studies will end up in the NUS/NTU/SMU etc and earn perhaps $4.4K starting pay.

Housing
- BTOs are easily $500k and above
- Resale $800k to $1mil
- Condo easily $2 mil
- most will end up taking loans from banks and parents

Expenses
- inflation goes way out of control
- hawker duck rice costs $5.50
- restaurant easily $150 for family of 4
- most people are single child supporting their aging parents on a shit $3-5k salary

Car
- lousy Toyota for $180k
- EV cars get some rebates but still shit expensive. Hovering above $200k

Instead of calling it the Singapore dream, might as well call it the jiu hu dream.

- lowly Malaysian crosses the causeway to come work in Singapore at some entry level job
- slowly rises up the ranks at the expense of expensive sinkies
- eventually accumulates enough money to buy multiple properties and cars by bringing the SGD back to Malaysia

While PAP is still dreaming, after paying themselves obscenely, Singaporeans need to wake up and look into their own wallet!!

China’s economy lost momentum in August as activity cooled across the board, pointing to mounting risks to achieving the government’s annual growth target.


Industrial output rose 4.5% from a year ago, the National Bureau of Statistics said Saturday, below the median forecast of 4.7%. It marked the fourth straight month of growth slowdown, the longest stretch since September 2021.
