They still did not get it and still talk about bringing in more rubbish into this piece of rock, thinking it is a continent, can bring in endless number of people, to live underground as well. One trick pony has no more new ideas and die, die must continue to fill up the island with more people. That is how brilliant they are, deserving of being paid millions, more than the President of the richest and biggest country in the world.
So, after cutting down the Singaporean PMETs to let the foreigners, rubbish and fakes among them, they need to cut down all the trees, destroy all the little forest left, to build more homes for the foreigners to stay. We are sacrificing the Singaporeans, the citizens, the forests, the trees, the nature, all because this govt's mission is to dump more rubbish into the island.
The island is so big, we have so much land, resources, water, name it we got it, and we can keep on adding heads into the island. And the daft Singaporeans must not dispute this brilliant strategy. Only millionaire super talented politicians can conceive of such a great idea that was scorned by the first generation leaders.
But this is only natural as the first generation leaders were not as smart as the smart alecs of today, as least in the amount of money they could earn. Now they are all earning millions. And anyone earning less than $500k is mediocre. Thus all our founding leaders were mediocre and could not see the genius in such a shining idea of growing people by cutting down our very own citizens.
The citizens would have to vacate their homes for the foreign talents, including many rubbish and fakes. And this rubbish dump will just have to grow and grow. May be it would really become a continent one day.
Do we want to do away with these few precious patches of nature with foreign rubbish? Once cut down, it would take a century to grow them again, if ever. Don't you think they are worth preserving instead of destroying them to build more homes for foreigners that the govt intends to bring in, foreigners that don't belong here, foreigners that don't have to be here? Every square meter of our land is so scarce and so precious to be wantonly and irresponsibly cut down for no good reason, reasons that are not worthy and not approved by the people. The govt is going to do this without your permission, destroy our forest and natural habitat and deprive/kill the life forms in them...in the name of economic growth by bringing in rubbish, unwanted foreigners here.
The country belongs to the people. The people must stop this government from its reckless building programme just to bring in more people for its silly and dangerous economic growth policy.
ReplyDeleteThis government is getting greedier and greedier by the days. Therefore, it is also becoming more and more reckless because of its greed for more money.
ReplyDeleteIt only pays lip service to and minimum care for the people so as to get by.
The fact is very clear. The people who runs the country today are not of the same conviction and devotion to the country as the old guards.
The present batch of leaders are of low quality, arrogant, inefficient and incompetent, and full of wastage.
Can't believe these imbeciles are doing this, destroying every little patch of nature that is left in the name of economic growth. These beautiful sites are very difficult to replace with all its flora and fauna.
ReplyDeleteDestruction of Nature is their name.
In Singapore, 40 per cent of water supply comes from recycled sewage - SCMP
ReplyDeleteRecycled waste water can now meet 40 per cent of Singapore’s water demand – a figure that’s expected to rise to 55 per cent by 2060
Can you believe it? We have such beautiful nature in our backyards, within walking distance or a few minutes drive?
ReplyDeleteWhy have to bear with the Causeway jam and travel so far to see a bit of these in Malaysia?
And they are going to destroy all this? Nothing better to do? How wasteful can the wastrels be?
These sites should be protected as National Heritage sites. They are more precious than preserving old buildings.
ReplyDeleteWait till they push the Government to allow bathing in rivers and lakes. Then we will become really third world. And with it goes one source of our water supply. LOL

ReplyDeleteAs Philip Yeo who is highly respected by Lee Kuan Yew, Goh Keng Swee, Lim Kim San and Hon Sui Sian said the first generation leaders brought in real foreign talents to guide and teach our local talents how to operate the huge factories invested here by huge multi-national companies which really generate jobs, income and revenue and increase our GDP base on solid productions of real market economy.
But 3rd and 4th generation leaders are blurred eye dreamers who bring in foreign trash to generate false GDP growth and are incapable of bringing in new multi-national investments in new factories and products to generate jobs, income and revenues. Yet they unashamely pay themselves millions of dolllars and try to project themselves by talking a lot of rubbish both inside and outside parliament.
Singaporeans are cheated and exploited
During Philip Yeo's time, the EDB was the engine that runs the economy, buzzling with activities.
ReplyDeleteToday nothing heard of EDB. Is it still operating? Is there an individual in the government that is driving investment and growing the economy other than cutting down trees and building more homes?
We have not one but several individuals in our leadership, some of them South Indians, driving investment ... into India.
ReplyDeleteThey have been conned to put in so much money in India now cannot pull out and their investment becomes a ransom against them. The stupid now would have to do what India told them to or else their investment would be in trouble.
ReplyDeleteHow could people being paid so much be that stupid?
Has DBS India been forced to bail out other banks?
ReplyDeleteWhen you pay people exorbitant and unnecessarily overpaid salary and bonuses to make them instant Multi-Millionaires overnight, they do not appreciate your kindness. They think you are being stupid. After that they will hold onto their positions tenaciously, unable to let go and unable to see things from your perspective because they are now so glued to safeguarding their own positions instead of doing things that they have been put there to do for you, for the country, the nation.
ReplyDeleteIn fact all the years of nation-building have been thrown out of the windows into the gutters. From the pro-foreigners policies and CECA, and from the way the Prime Minister speaks, one can easily see that there is no more emphasis on nation-building. There is no more pride in nation-building. There is no more need for nation-building. It's all lip service now.
The out-of-this-world pay is the root of all the ills in our society that led to the countless untold sufferings of our masses, our people, our countrymen and our future generations. This has been going on for more than 20 years now. It must be stopped.
At one time they were bragging about how talented they were and how much they would get paid and the private sector were waiting to grab them.
ReplyDeleteToday, how many of them can even earn 10% of what they are being paid?
According to the CECA human resource expurts, all of them would not have the experience and relevant skills to be employed. Only job available would be driving for Grabs.
“At 2011 National Day Rally after losing first GRC, PM Lee said, “I can fully understand and empathise with these concerns… But we are tackling these problems… managing the inflow of foreign workers and immigrants.””
ReplyDelete“10 years later in his 2021 National Day Message after losing 2 GRCs, he still said, “I understand these anxieties and problems. The government is addressing them. We have to adjust our policies to manage the quality, numbers and concentrations of foreigners in Singapore.””

ReplyDelete“I understand your anxieties and problems. The government is addressing them. We have to adjust our policies to manage the quality, numbers and concentrations of jobless PMETs in Singapore."
The addressing and fine tuning of the foreign workers problem will be a long term affair, not within our lifetime. And by fine tuning, the obvious outcome will not be good for us, like their fine tuning of the CPF rules, election rules, fighting COVID19 etc.
ReplyDeleteIt is just fine tuning folks, not really serious about it. Just like fine tuning a piano, when it goes out of tune, just tinker with the spring mechanism and it will sound nice and sweet to the ears of the listener or should I say sheep.
Talk only, very little action will be done. Even if action is taken, it will be to our further detriment instead of good outcomes. It has been 16 years we have become familiar with LHL's leadership. Each time he says he is going to do something for us, each time the final result of his "doing something " is to our disadvantage and detriment, without fail.
ReplyDeleteHi Redbean, you sing the same tune almost everyday. Where has that got you? Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere. It is like bashing your head against a stone wall. Will your million S$ 4G brilliant ministers take notice of all your chanting? the answer is a BIG NO. Well, you can continue bitching away and nothing will change. The only way is to VTO. But that is easier said than done. With a few chicken wings before GE, the Singaporean sheeples will kwai kwai vote for them. Pathetic!!!!
ReplyDelete@Redbeng: Singapore population @ Sep 2020
ReplyDelete(Citizens + PRs) = 4.04 m
Chinese: 3.0m
Malay :0.545m
Indian: 0.362m
Others: 0.129m
Foreign Workers: 1.2m
Domestic Workers: 0.5m
Chicken wings before GE is correct. When will we get chili crab? $4m salary can buy a lot of chili crab, but for poor Singaporeans, chili crab is a once a year treat.
ReplyDeleteChicken wings? Pappies believe yew char kway is already too good for us. Even Goh Chok Tong say we get a potato. Chicken wing, chili crab we can dream on.
ReplyDeleteVery soon they will be giving us thosai or prata, but I don't know if the Chinaman will eat that. As the final insult, the PAP will give us kachang puteh and say we all have to make sacrifices.
ReplyDeleteWe already got a taste of Putu Mayam. Not palatable at all.
ReplyDeleteBut the difference is the USA Government is on the side of the Whites, not the Natives or Hispanics and certainly not the Asians.
ReplyDeleteIn Sinkieland, the Government seems not on the side of the Native Singaporeans.
Agree. The imbeciles would not be bothered if you are citizens or foreigners as long as it is in their interest.
ReplyDeleteThey would call anyone father if it benefits them.
Putu mayam quite nice to eat. Especially with some red sugar. But a lot of Sinkies overeat and use too much sugar, and now get diabetes and take glucophage and metformin.
ReplyDeleteNot possible to 'bubble wrap' S'poreans from foreign competition, especially with rise of remote work: DPM Heng
ReplyDelete"Employers can easily seek out the best skilled workers from all parts of the world… This means foreigners do not have to be in Singapore to compete with us," said Mr Heng. "It would be increasingly difficult, if not impractical, to confine opportunities by geography."
