In his first battle cry for Punggol East, Chee Hian was
reminding the voters of the PAP’s promises in the last GE, in housing,
transport, education and health care. He forgot to mention about population
increase and the influx of foreigners. But what were these promises? Housing
prices have shot through the roof. A huge bubble has formed though no one dares
to call it a bubble. Transportation, is it getting better or getting worst?
Education, my view is that it is a very subjective issue and its consequences
would only be felt in the long run. The immediate pain is the high cost of
education in the tertiary level. Health care is great, super great. We are
having the best health care in the world. But many would be patients fear using
it as it will bankrupt the average Sinkies in double quick time. It is better
to go to the sinsehs or self medicate, or leave it to nature to take its
natural course.
The biggest bugbear is definitely housing. Boon Wan has
quoted another 200,000 units of housing being available in 2016. He is claiming
credit for building more flats. In the first place who screwed up the housing
issue for the citizens? We do not need a govt to screw up things and then
telling the people it is going to fix it and claiming credit for it.
The 200,000 units are too late, and many Sinkies have
already been screwed. And the 200,000 units would not be enough if the foreigners
keep coming in and are allowed to keep buying and buying, be it private or HDB
flats. The foreigners have unlimited funds and are here to make money from the
Sinkies that needed a roof over their heads. This is elementary. When every
joker foreigner or speculator makes money from properties, it means some
pathetic Sinkies would be the ultimate victims, having to pay ever higher and
higher prices for something that need not cost so much.
The market forces theory is a big farce. It is govt policy,
not market forces that drove up property prices. And as long as the demand from
foreigners is not stopped, building another 1 million units would still not be
enough. Get it?

There is only one promise that matters.
The first and original promise.
The National Pledge.
"We the citizens of Singapore,
....... based on justice and equality ..."
So has that promise been kept?
Or are they telling you it's just an aspiration?
Insanity is voting for PAP over and over again; and expecting different results.
I hear you. Hope that the average PAP supporter or because of the fear of otherwise voter in Sengkang East can hear the roar from Hougang and AHTC. Our town is not going to turn into slum.
I don't think they have fixed anything

Or it could be worse. Imagine if Singapore goes into a prolonged recession and the aliens bailed out of Singapore like rats deserting a sink ship. That 200,000 units will flood the market and prick the property bubble.
Property market crashes and the sinkie property investors all go into negative equity.
Feast and famine.
Boom and bust.
Greed and fear.
Well what do you think?
If the Arse Doctor goes at it(By-Election), all by himself, he stands half the chance to win.
But, with those folks seen as failures themselves propping him(Dr) from his behind, that half chance has now become quarter chance.
He, Dr Koh, will be pulled down by the heavyweights and be sunk.

Now we know Dr Koh cannot possibly quit his job for a miserable (to some people) pay of $16,000 per month. He is likely to be given a promotion to Minister and other Directorship to boost his pay to more than he earns today. As for Punggol voters, you can kiss your dreams good bye. This will probably the only weeks you get to see him. So choose wisely.
PAP hasn't got the right people to deliver.
Dr Koh the anal doctor - not sure whether he can deliver. I certainly don't fancy what he can deliver.
What is needed is an obstetrician or midwife - at least they can deliver.
Hi there mates, good piece of writing and pleasant arguments commented at this place, I am genuinely enjoying by these.
