2007's 3 earth shattering events

The first was the outcry over the NKF saga and the mismanagement of public fund when people spontaneously signed an online petition to stop the nonsense happening there. The nonsense stopped. The people are still seething at the way the story ends. The second event that caused another uproar was the proposal for a compulsory annuity scheme. Though it is in the backburner now, bet your dollar that it will be repackaged and push to the people as another great and necessary scheme, that without it Singaporeans will be in dire straits. The third uproar is the taxi fare hike. This time it is not only the people crying foul but the taxi drivers themselves. It is so remarkable that the people that are supposed to benefit from the fare hike are feeling the outrage worst.
