for me the main anger is on FT competing for jobs and causes wages to be depressed.
All others e.g. coe , housing, cpf etc are minor issues to me, I am not really impacted.

the Singapore Conversation went down the drain, enough of talk, my concern is now focused on getting more friends to vote the MIW out.

Look around, what do you see? Doctors, teachers, lawyers, engineers who feel that they are part of the beehive; most of these people love and are dependent on the system, even defend the system.
They are being normal and satisfied, we are the weirdos who think too much and end up unhappy. They say ignorance is a bliss, those who resist the programming ends up more bitter.
Tell me, which is the happier path? I don't know, my friend.

Right from the start, I knew they were paying lip service to the idea, merely to placate their detractors who were complaining that they weren't listening. After all, when you are bringing in hundreds of thousands a month, it's hard to think that a fella earning a thousand dollars a month might have a better idea on how to go about than you.
Ministers pay should be pegged to NS recruits pay, as they are servants of the people. Then you will see them waking up their fucking idea real fast.
Those of them with upward social mobility and without vested interest in the country would have already moved out to greener pastures in Australia, New Zealand or Canada. It doesn't take a genius to realise that Singapore is heading for the dumps under LHL's rule.
When people who support PAP can tell you stuff like, "I know the PAP is fucked up, but there are no credible alternatives, thus I vote for them." They are afraid of what change might bring. It is this inaction, that will haunt our future generations, as we allow PAP free reign to do as they please. Vote wisely in 2016!!!

I suggest ministers peg their salaries to cleaners and security guards before overtime pay. 25-30 times their basic salary.

Why are Singaporeans angry? Because they live in a chinese majority island.. their neighbors are of Chinese descent which embrace a stressful lifestyle. Dunno how to "relaks".
When sinkies "chabot" to Australia, NZ or anywhere else, they feel more relaks and less stressful. No need to stay away from home so late just because scared neighbors think got no business.

40 percent of population is foreigners. Where can? We are not like the Arabs where the government dotes on the citizens.

If the PAP wants to govern for another term, it must expel 2 million foreigners. This island is built for 3.3 million people, not 5.3 million!

Singaporeans are angry because they are spoilt. They harbor a sense of entitlement and feel that the government should reward them with riches even if they have contributed nothing to the progress of the country.

Our ricebowls are snatched from our hands & given to foreigners with help from our government in which we never voted for & wanted, but endorsed by a 60%. Our whole life savings is forever pushed out of reach from our hands (CPF) with no control over people, who hold on to our money & is free to use & make losses to them without any recriminations, rising cost of living, a multiplier effect due to every citizen having to pay for myriad indirect taxes & fees to enrich the government, their related companies & their "feeder" companies, inefficient government with dangerous security lapses, sagging infrastructure, especially transportation due to large influx of foreign workers, allowing PUBLIC housing to be used as "gambling", thus pushing the affordability out of our hands, Healthcare costs is expensive for they had made hospitals & their medical facilities into Money making centers, sold out SINgapore workers by the Unions, PR's freely enter & exit the country, taking everything they made here & having not serve National Service & their children ( from the days, when Malaysians were given PR)..
the list is exhaustive....how can one, not get angry, as a citizen?

I am Angry because PAP has been slow to reform and restrict the numbers of PMETs snatching away our jobs.
MNCs are the worst culprits behind the scenes.
I am ok with foreign construction workers, nurses, and low level jobs.
BUT I AM UNHAPPY THAT PMET JOBS ARE ALSO NOW GOING TO FOREIGNERS

Morning guys, I vote for 'any others' and these are my observations.
Sinkees are unhappy because they are 'stucked'. Sticking to a dead-end job with low increment or no increment due to FT shits competing for the same jobs. Stuck with paying the monthly pigeonhole mortgage or rent. Want to change job but difficult to find new opportunities again because opportunities all went to cheaper FT shits. Stuck with paying for the car mortgage. Stuck with high costs of raising the kids. In short, want to go forward cannot, want to go backward also cannot. That's why I used the word 'stucked' aka LAN LAN.
