Yes,
we are a very rich country with a lot of money in our reserves. We can have
anything that money can buy. We can buy anything we want or give away money to
whoever we want. This is the privilege of being a rich nation. The question
that many citizens are asking is how the money is being spent and they are not
really happy about it.
Why
are we giving so many scholarships to our schools and universities to
foreigners when so many of our students could do with a bit of help?
Why
are we giving away so many university places to foreigners while our children
have to find university places overseas, and spending a bomb or draining the
savings of their parents?
Why
are we having a few hundred thousand foreigners gaining employed, in good jobs,
earning good money, while our own citizens are jobless, under employed, working
part time, working in jobs that they are over qualified?
Why
are foreigners taking away so many plum jobs that we have created, in our govt
services, govt owned companies, when these jobs could have gone to our own
citizens? New citizens and PRs are foreigners who have not really contributed
to the fruits that they are enjoying.
Why
do we allowed foreigners to set up businesses here and employing their own
people with very little benefits to our citizens?
Why are we throwing so much money to foreign sports people when the money could have been given to our children? Shouldn't the money be used to employ coaches to train our own sports people, to train our own coaches?
Why are we throwing so much money to foreign sports people when the money could have been given to our children? Shouldn't the money be used to employ coaches to train our own sports people, to train our own coaches?
Why
are we selling our limited land/properties to foreigners to add to our high
property prices, some buying more than they need for speculation or
‘investment’? And Singaporeans have difficulties buying a home and the Govt not
selling public housing to its citizens but foreigners turned new citizens can buy?
Why
are we giving away citizenships that came with so many subsidies so easily and
readily to foreigners?
Have
we lost our direction, the meaning of a nation, a country with its own citizens
and interests to take care of first and foremost? What happen to nation
building, becoming a nation of people of shared values and a shared future for
good or for bad? Inclusiveness is about own citizens, not foreigners, not PRs
and not so much about new citizens that need to integrate over time.
What M Ravi has said is very true, WE are not in the big picture. We gave jobs that paid in the millions to foreigners, allowed foreigners to set up agencies for recruitment, housing etc to compete against our very own people etc etc. The citizens have been reduced to be machine clogs or cannon fodder to support a system for the elite and foreigners. And that is being lucky. Many would end up as dried orange skin, squeezed dry, discarded only good for recyclying as fertilisers.
We are the citizens and not in the big picture of things.

When someone is in power for too long, he/she will think that he/she is god (but actually is dog).
The govt has lost its way for 30 years already when in 1984 LKY sacked goh keng swee, toh chin chye, lim kin san, ong pang boon, howe yoon chong, etc from the cabinet to so that his son will have a pampered time in the cabinet nursery room. baby lee became mp in 1984 so must get rid of all these upright people who might not be so sayang sayang to the heir apparent. ew barker and rajaratnam were sacked 4 years later as they were less dangerous and more pliable. from then onwards, singaporeans are no longer the top priority of the govt. after 1984 top priority is lee lee lee.
You speaking hokien? lee lee lee means you you you. Not bad ya.
The reason why the government is doing this Mr Redbean Sir is that we are putting the spurs onto your hides for making us lose one SMC and one GRC.
Repent and regret
Seah Chiang Nee's Saturday column
[Bringing the community to the fore]
"THIS year marks the 53rd anniversary of an institution
that began operating a system of dedicated community volunteers in 1960
and ended up as a modern-day controversy.
Just like the PAP in the early days,
the People’s Association was revered for many years in Singapore’s history.
The intervening years since then,
its objectives have not significantly changed.
Although they are basically non-political,
these grassroots – and PA in particular –
are often involved in 'pseudo-political' activities which serve the partisan interests of PAP.
Today,
this army of citizen volunteers is facing some new-era problems.
Today
two shadows loom over it, testing the loyalty of the members who come from diverse backgrounds.
The first
is a new widely-disliked proposal
to have a 6.9 million population by 2030.
Second,
the almost doubling of Singapore’s population in 20 years
has given it a headache in bringing together Singaporeans and the large number of new arrivals."

RB, government has not lost its way lar. They know where they are going with the support of the 60% mah. Only 40% think it has lost its way and kpkb but no use lor. I know cause I am one of the 40% mah
Why? Why? Why?
So many Whys can be answered by one big Why!
Why not vote them out in 2016, latest by 2030?
Too many why.
Simple and short answer.
60 % Sinkies are happy with the way they are.
Planning for a better Singapore;
Without Singaporeans in the picture;
Courtesy of the government of Pro Alien Traitors.
Hoe can this be true?
The key figures in GE 2016.
6.9 million population.
$148,000 CPF Minimum Sum.
No, the Government did not and do not lose its' way and direction.
It has created many ways and some are exclusively only for the Rulers themselves such as the Way to hold on to power and wealth.
It has also provided ways for Sinkies to live, work and die and if You die prematurely due to stress and sickness; just too bad. THAT IS YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

"Why are we giving so many scholarships to our schools and universities to foreigners when so many of our students could do with a bit of help?"
Redbean
So as to get lots of talented foreigners to come to Singapore lah.
And in the whole wide world, definitely there are a lot of foreigners more talented than Sinkies what. So they are more deserving of the scholarships than Sinkies lah.
If gahmen depend only on Sinkie talents, where got enough number of Sinkies to grow the GDP?
And higher GDP = more bonuses for ministers.
Some more also not enough Sinkies want to vote PAP out what. So why PAP need to worry?
Why are we still complaining about this...it is obvious that we are not in their picture or inner core...and even the Workers" Party are not interested in your complains.....
Workers' Party?
Not say they not interested lah, but because they are not ready to be interested.
Just as they are not ready to be government with the power to change things.
When you have no power, does it really matter what are your views or what you are interested or not?
RB, I think the 40% has lost it's way but the 60% has not and supporting the pap lor. Though not fair in redrawing the boundary but then unlike malaysia, pap still has 60% of the popular votes mah. Tio Bo?
Why are you asking so many "whys" when you should be answering them?
Has the Govt lost its way? Certainly not. They know where they are going and how to get them. They are getting richer by the minute and we are getting poorer. Do our leaders have to declare their assets annually like leaders in other countries do?
It is we, the lost sheep ,the lesser mortal of a little red dot, have lost our way!
Agree, not gahmen but lesser mortal Sinkies have lost their way. Evidence as follows:
1. More foreigners got scholarships than Sinkies.
2. Best opposition not ready to be gahmen and also praise gahmen as competent.
3. Male Sinkies sacrifice and serve NS and lose out their time to foreigners.
4. Foreigners who are bosses prefer to employ foreigners over Sinkies.
5. More foreigners needed because Sinkies don't reproduce themselves enough.
Can add more of your own.
Why are we giving so much perks to foreigners not locals? THe main reason is FEAR. PAP is afraid that locals become educated, wise and successful and thus compete for their jobs. THey want to rule this island forever, they need slaves. Who better to fit the bill than daft locals?
bond
People must learn to stop voting for any party that builds up perks for foreigners not locals. Stop being so daft.
Redbean,
you can contrast this to see how much PAP want foreigner support to vote for them.
For national day, the pappies can allow PR foreigners for NDP for support
"Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents can apply for preview and actual day tickets for NDP 2013 from our website"
but when it comes to protest
http://www.tremeritus.com/2013/04/20/nparks-police-permit-needed-for-may-day-protest-if-foreigners-participating/
Who are the PAP fooling us with ?
It only show clearly that PAP is relying on foreigners for party support, hence the need to denigrate the local who is growing more aware of what is going on.
PAP government has lost its way in morality but found its way in getting millions and billions through creative accounting and PayAndPay scheme. Agree ? Kee Chiew if agree.
PAP gahmen has found its way to making millions in salaries for its politicians.
Singaporeans have lost their way in not knowing what is in their own best self interest.
Najib brought in his voters at the last minute. Here the voters are being brought in progressively over the years, and in numbers that are unbelieveable. This is many steps ahead of Najib. So clever.
Not all Singaporeans lost their way.
43% are rich, happy and satisfied and so will always vote PAP no matter what, even in a by election.
If you are rich, definitely you did not lose your way.
And the richer you are, your way is is even more assured.
And if you are rich and powerful, your way is guaranteed, including the way to win elections.
Come on, that's life everywhere, man. Why should Singapore be any different?
RB, government and the 60% definitely has not lost their way. It's the 40% that have lost their way lor. Tio Bo?
: )
Since the day pap took over the government,the government has slowly lost THE way.
