I know this is a motherhood statement but what is wrong with it? It sounded like the PAP is running an election campaign and this is the key slogan for the party. It can also sound like the PAP has just formed the govt and is promising the people that this was what it wanted to do for the people. Wait a minute, this is our 48th National Day and the PAP has been running the country for the past 47 years and has just started to want to do this. What had it been doing all these years, building an unfair and unjust society? Should we say that it is better late than never, and Sinkies can be hopeful that going forward they can expect a fairer and just society? The worrisome part is that the Govt either does not know that it has built an unfair and unjust society or it has been doing so thinking it is ok.
And the PAP is going to ensure that every Sinkie will have a
home when it did not bother, to have a stake in this country now when it was
not important. Obviously there are Sinkies that have no home and no stake in
this country. It cannot be like, how can Sinkies have no home and no stake in
this country in the first place? Then what are these Sinkies doing NS for and
what will they be defending, other people’s homes and other people’s stake,
foreigners’ homes and foreigners’ stakes?
The high cost of living, high cost of medical care, the high
cost of everything, the govt is going to tackle them all. Sounds good, really.
The govt will be solving all these problems.
What sounds not so good or unpleasantly funny is that why and how did
all these happen? Would it not be better if the govt did not allow all these to
happen in the first place, nipped them in the bud like it always said? Would it
be better if the govt and those who are responsible did not allow these
problems to become problems to the people in the first place? What is the
meaning of proactive?
And there are problems of public transport, problems of
unemployment, problems of too many foreigners and many others. Who are the
twits that created all these problems for the govt to take care of? Who are
they that are giving so many problems to Hsien Loong and causing him many
sleepless nights trying to solve so many problems at the same time? These must
be people who are doing Hsien Loong in, right? I hope they are not being
awarded any National Day honours for creating all these problems.
As the PM, his job is really tough, with so many people
undermining him by making all the wrong decisions and policies and making him
responsible for cleaning the shit. Hsien Loong should rightly deserve the
highest National Day Award, the Order of Temasek(First Class) for cleaning shit
and not blaming anyone for it. Why no one recommends him for the highest National
Day Award?
As the PM, his job is really tough,....
ReplyDeleteRB
Hahahaha.
Where in the world can a ruling party has a strongest opposition not even ready to be government? And its leader has no ambition to be PM and even praised the ruling party as a competent government?
So if I were Hsien Loong, my job as PM where got tough, you say lah? Lagi Hahahaha
Looking at the state of the opposition now, I think PAP will continue to rule until my HDB flat become zero value.
ReplyDeleteAnd most of the Sinkies with warm bodies now will not be around by then.
That's why I don't care my HDB flat will become zero value one day.
ReplyDelete"And most of the Sinkies with warm bodies now will not be around by then."

Hahahaha. Maybe even much earlier due to the below replacement fertility rate of Sinkies.
So do Sinkies really matter, you say lah?

Now I understand why PAP welcome foreigners so much. As long as they are not retarded, have a warm body and willing to come.
Wah. "Build" a society? What a feat of "engineering".
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that :-))
I think LHL and his team should get the First of the First Class Temasek Orders for their awesome management of an awesome HOTEL.
I suggest: double their pay!
Wishful Thinking (WT) and In Reality(IR)
ReplyDeleteWT: Everyone is entitled to a home
IR: You wanna home? Then make sure you can pay for it.
WT: Everyone is entitled to healthcare
IR: Healthcare is a "luxury" only available to those who ere prudent enough to make "sacrifices" in the past so that they have the means to pay.
WT: Everyone is entitled to a job
IR: The boss will hire according to her standards and requirements.
WT: I am Singaporean. Foreigners are subordinate to my birth rights
IR: No one gives a shit about your birthrights. In life you have to "pay to play". If you can't, fuck off.
WT: I am entitled to "affordable" prices.
IR: Good luck to you :-)
If you are entitled to low prices, so is everyone else, including your boss. Why then don't you work for FREE -- making it very affordable for your boss. Come on, don't be a pussy -- lead by example!
WT: That is MY MONEY in the CPF
IR: Good for you. Now try and take it out ;-)
WT: My HDB is an asset
IR: See Accountancy 101 to educate yourself on what the definition of an asset really is.
WT: Vote opposition for a "Singapore for Singaporeans"
IR: Politics is CULTURAL. The Sheeple Get The Government They Deserve.
Reading this is so much more factual and realistic than listening to those high falutin National Day Speeches.
ReplyDeleteSweet words year in year out and invariably ended up the same promises getting another run next National Day.
They are not tired of repeating.
However Singaporeans are sick of getting disappointed with failures to perform and deliver.
patriot
How good a job can one do if his heart is not in it? Better to give others a chance lah. A decade of failure not enuf track record issit?
ReplyDeleteMatilar matilar, u are right only if there is no national service and reservist duty and the place is just like a hotel as u suggested. But once u impose that kind of crap and call sinkie land a country and not a hotel, then I am afraid that your suggestions are rediculous.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with the cpf part though
It is just like what ex PM Goh promised - Swiss standard of living.
ReplyDeletePAP is all about talk..and more talk.
I Promise to look after you
ReplyDeleteI Promise to be fair to you.
I Promise to let your children ..

W2016 ELECTION : PAP = 80% VOTES
ReplyDeleteAnybody who has been here long enough will tell you that nice words uttered during national day are merely that - nice words, delivery not promised. I have stopped taking this seriously
ReplyDeleteThey are good in creating the problems and then threatening the people to vote for them in return they will solve some of the problems they created. They did that for almost 20 years since LHL is PM.
ReplyDeleteHsien Loong is going to build a fair and just society for Sinkies" ....
ReplyDeleteYah, Yah Yah.
When Pigs can really fly.
With their own wings.
And not in 1st Class in SIA.
Social engineer.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think? I don't know what to say...
ReplyDeleteDear redbean,
ReplyDeleteWhat a tongue-in-cheek article.. Haha..
We all know Ah Loong is just buying time, to trick enough Sinkies to vote for the pappies. Anyway, his speech is meant to reassure the new citizens, PRs and FTs..not us Sinkies.
After 2016, they'll have enough new citizens to build a new Singaporean core. By then, they won't have to wear sheep's clothing anymore and the march toward 6.9 million will resume.
@1103:
ReplyDelete>> It is just like what ex PM Goh promised - Swiss standard of living.
Please lah. What's the matter with you, fucking douche bag-- are you asleep?
Singapore has already EXCEEDED the Swiss. Perhaps its time the Swiss aspired to have a Singapore standard of living.

@1034:
>> and the march toward 6.9 million will resume.
What do you mean "resume"? It hasn't stopped. Think 9 million and more -- that's more like it. Get used to it: Singapore needs MORE people. It ain't stopping simply because you don't like it. Who are you top stand in the way of progress?
@1100:
>> u are right only if there is no national service and reservist duty
Please lah. I too served in the SAF. If you sign on as a regular, you don't do reservist training (during my time, it may be different now). After your contract you are free to come and go as you please...i.e. do the HOTEL thing.
Instant expert here. Just add piss and stir.
