The intent is good, it is all for the good of Singaporeans

I used to be very angry with all the bizarre policies of the govt. I could not understand why these policies are so anti Singaporeans. I could not understand and see any good in them except for the good of foreigners. Now I beginning to understand and see things differently after Hsien Loong said this,

‘There may be different views on how the policy should be, but I hope people understand that the Govt’s intent is good.  We are doing this for Singapore, and for Singaporeans.’  Lee Hsien Loong quoted in ST 22 Jul 15

When Hsien Loong said that the Govt’s intent is good and doing all for the interests of Singaporeans, how can one not understand and don’t believe what he said? He is telling the truth from this heart. Then I went on to reflect on those policies that I was angry with him and now I understand, the Govt’s intent was good, and the policies were good for Singaporeans. Now I am at peace. I know many of you are still very cynical. I don’t blame you.

Now I know why raising GST is good for the poor people. I am looking forward for the GST to go to 10% after the GE perhaps. And I am going to wait for all the goodies going to the poor people and making them happy. Before this I simply cannot understand how it benefits poor and have doubts about the intent of the Govt.  Now I know the intent of the Govt is good. Don’t understand is my fault. I must try to understand and if I don’t understand, I should just believe on the side of goodness. I must admit I still don’t understand.

Of course the biggest bugbear must be the people’s CPF savings, including mine. I was cursing and swearing. Now I know it is for the good and interests of the people, me included. Now I am happier, really happy to know that when I die, I will die very rich, with a lot of money in my CPF, die with a smile on my face. For those who still cannot understand the Govt’s good policy, at least know that the Gov’t meant well and has good intent. Just the good intent is enough to absolve all blame and unhappiness.

I also cannot understand why the Govt gave  and is still giving so much free money to so many foreigners, students and lecturers but not to our own people and their children. This one is very serious, I still cannot understand even if the Govt is doing it for the interests of Singaporeans. But I am more at peace now, because I know the intent is good. Singaporeans deprived of university places, Singaporean lecturers lost their jobs to foreigners, no Singaporean core in the academia, never mind, it must be good for Singaporeans. Sometimes it is like a religion, have faith, just believe and all is well.

What about the PMEs that have become taxi drivers? It must also be good for them, I think. Otherwise they would not be their own boss and enjoy the independence of being your own boss showing how good quality of service is all about, carrying and loading luggages into the taxi with a smile. And saying thank you when a big tip is received for good service. Never mind, the intent of the Govt is good. More foreigners here are good for Singaporeans, to grow the economy, to create good jobs for the Singaporeans. How come I could not understand this simple logic before? Now everything is looking so simple and so clear. The Govt is doing it for the good of Singaporeans. Tiok. How, I dunno, but tiok good enough for me.

Housing for poor Singaporeans, I mean HDB built public flats, and a bit higher income Singaporeans, not just the rich, must buy private flats, good quality and live well. Now I also understand. The income ceiling, last time I think not right that NS men cannot buy public flats. Now I also understand that this is good for Singaporeans also. If they cannot buy HDB flats they sure must buy private flats, good for them and good for the property developers also. Win win for everyone. So simple, but I was confused last time. Boon Wan must not change the policy to make sure every Singaporean can buy a HDB flat so that as NSmen they have something to fight for. Let them buy private properties. Private properties cheap and affordable to the richer Singaporeans. Now they have more expensive properties to defend for, and doing NS becomes more meaningful. They would love to pay their big mortgages for the next 30 years as proof that they are richer.

I could go on and on. Now everything seems so positive, knowing that the Govt’s intent is good and doing everything for the Singaporean’s interests. It cannot be otherwise right? If otherwise how can they be elected to the govt again in the next GE. It only means that many have known this truth but not me. Now with the intent so clear, sure get elected to the govt with bigger majority in the next GE. Hsien Loong should have talked about the intent part earlier to win the hearts and minds of the people.

Now I also agree the ground is sweet. Quick call for election, I can feel the sincerity all over the place.

PS. When I read some of the comments in similar posts in the TRE I just cannot understand why so many people disagree with me and still refused to understand and cannot see the intent and insincerity of it all. What a pity. But, but everyone has a right to disagree. Tiok boh? The difference is whether you see the intent or not.
