The budget debate



The debate on the budget exposes many current problems, high cost of living, high property prices, high COE and car prices, congestion in public transport, foreigners taking over Singaporean jobs, Singaporeans being discriminated or victimized in Singapore by foreigners, low wage for workers, NS for PRs etc etc. These problems have been simmering for so many years without a real solution. And Parliament is grabbling with these problems in a most make belief way with MPs offering piece meal solutions that are often comical and good for a laugh.

Do they really did not know what the shit is causing all these problems? Want the answer? Influx of foreigners! KNN the answer is there for all to see and no one is able to see it. Without knowing what is the cause of the problem how are they able to solve the problem at the heart? It is all because of the huge foreigner population.

Now you see the cause, the solution should be must clearer and easier to deal with, right or wrong? Did someone say we should increase the population to 6.9m to solve our problems? Unbelieveable, really unbelieveable! But, but according to a professor, increasing the population is a solution to all our problems and will also lead to more growth and better infrastructure and better quality of living. If this is true, also advocated in the White Paper, just bring in the foreigners and the problems will go away.

Another view, all the problems today are caused by high and compressed population growth of foreigners and having more people here will only add to the problems. Agree or not?

Would many of these problems be solved if the number of foreigners be curbed, the population size be limited? Sure, resetting the population a decade back will cause another host of problems. From obesity to a lean body will need a lot of adjustments and the throwing away of a wardrobe of oversize clothing. The problems today are self inflicted and going forward or backward will bring with it more problems. Which way will solve or cause more problems?

What do you think?

Now there is another more serious problem. The blind are trying so hard to see but cannot see, or is it a case of have eyes but cannot see. Heard of downsizing the population?

The problems cited by RB are indeed many. But are the problems affecting our leaders? I do not think so. So why should our leaders care about problems not affecting them? They rather focus on problem affectig them and that is getting elected and continue with more good years.They can ride on the support and affection of more and more new citizens even grateful and appreciative for the good life the party of the day has given them.
BTW, has any ex MP, after leaving the political arena, dedicate themself to any social cost say helping the poor, handicapped etc.I cannot think of any. They enter the business world and become director earning more money.They care more about themselves then the society at large.

The Singapore Budget 2013 is a budget tailored to the "desires" of a population where the entitlement mentality is alive and well.

Singapore is a welfare state. The latest budget is a pure welfare state budget.

Congratulations Singapore, you are on the way to creating a brand-new class of Singaporeans: Dole Bludgers -- i.e. people who get money from the government because they describe themselves as "victims" from some bullshit situation.

Imagine a beggar. Lazy assed wanker who refuses even to pick up a broom or a mop. Now imagine that lazy fucker getting paid not to work whilst the poor working fuckers -- all struggling to feed their families and pay down their huge mortgage debts -- are TAXED to pay for the useless, lazy and ARROGANT assholes on the Dole.

If we chased all the aliens away, we will not need the initiatives from the budget. There will be plenty of jobs for the locals, plenty of housing, plenty of space in the mrt and buses. No need to stand in q waiting for atm, food, drinks, housing, transport, schools, hospitals whatever. It will be a much better place.

One thing you must give credit to the PAP. They are extremely good in staging wayangs.

60% of Sinkies know that wayangs are make believe and they still believe in wayangs.

>> They are extremely good in staging wayangs.

And as you've said, it works.

48 Laws

See 'Laws' Number: 6, 8, 11, 13, 27, 32, 33, 43, 45.

These 'laws' are awesome. Play or be played.

Looks like most Singaporeans are the ones being played...or to use local vernacular: Kena Main.
