At
first you have poor people asking govt for help to buy food to get buy. Govt
was very angry. How much you want? You want to eat in the hawker centre,
foodcourt or restaurant.
Then
the middle class crying money not enough. Their money all gone to buying
affordable govt built flats and needed 30 years to service the loans. And just
when they have paid up their loans, they lost their jobs. But wait, they
thought things would not be that bad as they had carefully put aside a large
chunk of their money in the CPF. The shock came when the govt said, this money
cannot touch, must be used to buy medical insurance and life annuities for life
long protection and to provide them a few hundred dollars a month for life.
Sounds good, but with high inflation, money not enough again. So these
millionaires, their flats all worth half a million or more, again got money
problem and needed govt to help them.
The
latest, multi millionaires and billionaires also asking the govt for help.
Because their fortunes are all tied up with the billions of dollars of
properties they are holding. Now, after so many decades of making millions and
becoming exceptionally wealthy, they are multi millionaires and billionaires
not for no reason, they want the govt to help them to sell their properties at
good prices, better than affordable prices, not that they cannot sell them by
themselves.
Who
would be next to need govt’s financial assistance? I heard the next group would
be the ministers when they lost their election in the next GE. And if the PAP
is no longer in power, where are they going to get paid the same millions to
maintain their millionaire lifestyle when the GLCs would not be offering them
any chairmanship or directorship appointments as ex ministers? Without such
appointments who in their right mind, in the private sector, will be willing to
pay them by the millions to maintain their lifestyles?
By
then the new govt may be in a dilemma. How to justify to pay them millions to
help them to live without affecting their quality of life? Hopefully not
necessary as quite a number of them are really billionaires or worth hundreds
of millions. For those who are not, would the next minister be asking how much
they want or whether they want to eat in the hawker centre, foodcourt or
restaurant?
Sin City is the only super rich
city where millionaires, half millionaires and billionaires are all asking the
govt for financial help. Yes, there is no poor people in Sin City, only half millionaires,
millionaires and billionaires.

There is indeed no poor people on this island!
Our common hobby is to accumulate as much money as possible.
So never mind how much you have, money is always not enough!
Cheers.
Billionaires asking for help is called meritocracy.
Poor people asking for help is called "subsidy mentality".
Govt help or no help, but these billionaires will vote PAP for sure.
Even not half millionaires will also vote PAP.
If not how can PAP got 60% votes, u tell me lah? Cannot be 60% are all half millionaires and above, tio bo?
According to a report, there were 105,000 high net worth (HNW) individuals in Singapore in 2013.
HNW means having US$1M or more in investible funds, excluding property.
So is it a big deal to be HNW?
PAP knows how many Sinkies are rich, and therefore will sure vote PAP.
Except only in Aljunied and Hougang in a GE, and Punggol East in a BE. And they will only vote for ka ki lang WP.
Hence even if Aung Juan Soon Chee party contest one to one with PAP in a BE will also lose one, let alone in a GE.

U may have a point. Maybe that's why don't talk about others, even with a Hainan Ah Ko calibre under Soon Chee party also lost in GE 2011.
SDP to kick off election campaign in January 2015
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/sdp-to-kick-off-election/1511892.html
I remember they also did something like that in Hong Lim Park some time before 2011. And shortly before nomination day, introduced their star candidate and presidential material Hainan Ah Ko.
Wondering who will be their "star" candidate(s) this time? Any idea? Aung Juan Soon Chee himself? Hahahahaha.
I wonder if PAP got any "star" candidate for GE 2016?
- so far, all the stars of GE 2011 has turned out to be duds
- just like the old fart himself
- GE 2016 ... I wonder if he will "stand" for re-election?
The ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY is very frequently observed in the rich who think that they're so great, they need "special treatment". This is definitely not a new thing.
We live in an age of narcissism, so one would expect the ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY to be egalitarian and prevalent in every class of society.
You might ask "How narcissistic are we?" Ever since the creation of social networks like Twitter and FaceBook, and the invention of the camera phone, a phenomenon know as the "selfie" arose spontaneously amongst the human users. Taking "selfies" is part of the culture now. Everyone has to let the whole fucking world know where they are, how much they're enjoying themselves, even what they are fucking eating!! People are taking pictures of every aspect of their lives from their food (for fuck's sake!) and their gym-toned naked bodies and posting it on the net saying "Hey look at me, how awesome am I? I think I'm so awesome, and so damn fucking SPECIAL the world world needs to know!".
Thus the entitlement mentality is strengthened and concretized into a PERMANENT FIXTURE in our quirky modern culture.
Got selfie?...Got "take pictures of my food"?
Fucking nuts lah!
I wonder if PAP got any "star" candidate for GE 2016?

PAP no "star" candidate never mind.
As long as PAP can contest 100% seats and ready to be govt, 60% will vote for them and they can win more than 90% seats.
And sama sama for any opposition party too, if they can contest 100% seats. Because due to PAP screwups, 60% will rather prefer opposition, if only they are ready, to be the govt and not PAP.
Oh yes, from PSLE to Degree level must publish the Results and Photos with square hats and the Proud Parents, especially the Mothers who are usually the Ones who uploads the Stuff into the Social Media. They are so very proud though Degrees are much less prestigious and very common.
Selfies and certificate awards on Facebook, Twitter and Other Sites are are glorous to the conventional people. Those with Doctorates, Professor and Mensa are less prone to look for fame. Similarly, those that ventured overseas seldom talk bad about other countries being backward, unhygienic, dangerous and less civilized. Those who had NEVER EVER step into North Korea have no shame to claim how bad the Country(NK) is. Lolx.
M S has stated the Fact that Sinkies are idiots in many respects and he is spot on in his observation.
@420:
Here's a chilling scenario:
"Proud parents" ('Pride cometh before the fall' -- Proverbs, The Holey Babble) post pics and DATA of their daughters from birth and whilst their growing up to social media.
By the time these kids are in their teens, they become easy prey for creepy internet predators, who by that time have Big Data Mining apps at their disposal: i.e. the creeps will know EVERYTHING about the "proud parents" daughters: where they went to school, where they've holidayed, the names and pictures of their friends and families, what they're studying, their grades..
..fuck me in my six decade-old asshole, man...
People are worried about the govt invading privacy. Fuck that shit, now potential RAPISTS can gather SALIENT INFORMATION--thanks to DUMB PARENTS--to stalk their victims from information freely available on the net because the dumb parents, relatives and their kids PUT THE DATA THERE!!
Other uses for nefarious data mining is to target "suckers" to scam. Thank you social media. And fucking IDIOT parents. (yes you, some of you dumb cunts reading this)
Got digital footprint?
P.S. Being narcissistic may get your kids RAPED. Do you really want to take that chance?
Think before you post your next selfie!
anyway, here's a selfie from me. Enjoy...and if you must, data mine :-)
SINGAPORE - The next general election (GE) will be held in January 2017, and is expected to be a deadly serious fight, according to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. - See more at: http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/pm-lee-next-ge-will-be-deadly-serious-fight#sthash.MZP5LsnY.dpuf
Wah sei, he even commit a date! This is a first time this happen and so early some more.
Lastest news showed that TH/GIC loses a lot of monies in Zz due to fall in Zz dollar? I think they are moving the GE ahead of time to allow them to cover up the loses.
" if only they are ready, to be the govt "
