What's the heck is all this GE about.. Opposition is shooting Questions and PAP is answering questions, and after which, vice versa. I thought election should be kept confidential? But it seems more like influential now..
I have heard "almost" everyone saying the cons of what PAP have done so far.. But, what is WE to judge have they done a good job.. I just want to stay neutral and not being influence by others.. There is no rights or wrongs with neither parties.. It's only up to individuals to agree or disagree..
Ok.. Now, people debate that PAP have done a poor job so far and leads to the standard of livings in Singapore becoming higher over the years.. But, how do we know what difficulties they've faced over the years while trying to build on a better livings for us? It will be the same if the opposition won the votes, can they changed the current situations immediately or even the next 2 years? Who can predict the future now? Opposition might also took 5 years for the changed, but if let PAP continued, their current projects and plans sure can continued as planned and finished faster.. To the extend of what opposition said so far, I definitely agrees to that the government should do things more transparently, thus, people likes us knows what to expect for the next few years..
NSP says we nowadays took trains like we are going to holiday.. We can see all type of people from around the world.. I admit to that.. I hate to see so many people of different countries squeezing and sharing the transport with me, BUT, without them, who will filled up the job left unwanted by the Singaporeans? Singaporeans nowadays are too pampered, let's not says about those jobs like cleaners, stall helper, or construction workers.. For some office jobs, some small companies will requires their employees to multi-tasking alot, but some of the Singaporeans just couldn't take it.. Foreign talents which are better equipped were hired in too which caused some Singaporeans to be unhappy.. But, isn't it a sign or warnings to all of us to be better equipped, better educated.. "IF" there were no foreign talents fighting places with Singaporeans for jobs in Singaporeans, do YOU think that you will go and study for Degree or even Master?
In most of the debate/rally that is on going, most common heard topic is certainly the pricing of the houses now.. I really welcome that to be addressed as I have not bought any houses yet... If the housing pricing was dropped, it will definitely be benefiting to me.. And yes, its to me and some of you only.. If the pricing of the housing dropped now, those that have just bought houses, or those already finish paying for the houses will not be the one loses.. Just imagine if they were to sell their houses in near future, they will suffered a loss!! If the houses pricing dropped, those rich people will starts to invest more and buy more houses, in which leads to more houses need to be build, and leads to less land, and Singapore will be short of land in future.. In anyway, i still wish that the house pricing issues can be addressed more tactically..
I think what government do is controlled... Pros and Cons ways.. COE high, all Singaporeans suffered now.. But less people will buy cars, and hence lesser pollutions and save the world for our children.. ERP high really makes no sense.. But if no ERP, everyone starts to travel into town, wouldn't it caused jam too? Why taxi drivers always says "If you want faster, travel by CTE, but will go through ERP.." So, because of ERP, then urgent people can then choose that route to travel.. but if you want faster route, you have to pay the price then..
Those people that loves travelling.. If government is not doing good, the economy will not rise.. If you see, all other countries currency rates is all dropping, but not Singapore, and hence your will enjoy better exchange rates when travelling to others countries.. To add on, when Singapore organise the 1st YOG event, how many Singaporeans are excited about it? Especially when Singapore is bidding it to the last seed between us and Mexico.. Almost everyones want Singapore to win.. But in the end, a huge loss is reported after the event, and people starts to say waste money... What is this contradiction? Although there is a huge loss, but it certainly benefits others like tourism, or recreation, etc.. And we also creates history being the first country to host YOG and it will go down in history..
I have also heard that the populations of Singapore citizen only occupies 57% of the total.. If we don't have those PRs, and foreigners to make up the rest, are those Singapore going to marry now and settle down now? Who leads to all this? It's actually all the Singaporeans nowadays tends to settle down late, and also don't want to give birth so early.. Somemore, those got kids, they only want one or two, and we could filled up the greying populations.. Government already done their part by giving subsidiary and payout for those giving births to encourage more births but none actually want to do it.. If all able to settle down early and give birth to two or three kids, I believe in 20 years time, those foreigners will be gone and most percentage will be Singaporeans...
In more recent case, why do MM Lee need to apologise for the flood caused by heavy rain? It is just a natural disaster that who also can't prevent.. I don't believe anyone of us either can prevent it.. Who will knows when will it happens? But no matter what, can everyone just judge by yourself? Do not discussed with anyone or influence by anyone..
Lastly, I definitely welcome the challenge of all those oppositions as they voiced out and raised all the concerns.. Even now the government have plans, maybe then will they speed it up more..
