'This is precisely what has been happening in the ding dong between
Workers’ Party secretary-general Pritam Singh, one of the MPs in
Aljunied GRC, and a PAP grassroots adviser over the “political double
standards” practised by the PAP. The construction of a simple access
ramp took seven years to build. Make your own conclusion.
I am not going into the details but I share the view of former WP
NCMP for Joo Chiat Yee Jenn Jong on the whole business of allowing unelected people
the power to approve community projects. He said in Facebook: “It is
ridiculous and a mockery of our democracy for unelected and losing
candidates of GE to be approving community projects (funded by
taxpayers) initiated by elected members of parliament, and delaying or
ignoring chasers because it is simply playing dirty and inconveniencing
residents who may badly need these facilities.
“Singapore belongs to Singaporeans and not to the PAP. No doubt many
Singaporeans, myself included, are grateful that the first generation
leaders got us onto the right track for good economic development. That
does not mean that we approve of undemocratic methods to entrench
themselves in power.”'
The above is quoted from Tan Bah Bah's post appearing in theindependent.sg. The two cases mentioned are excellent examples of how well democracy is flourishing in Singapore. While democracy did not work in many countries, being abused or corrupted, in Singapore, democracy really works for the good of the people.
Take the first instance of building a simple access ramp that needed 7 years to build. The first impression is that this is ridiculous in ever efficient Singapore to take 7 long freaking years to build when in the same time a thousand units of HDB flats could rise from the ground. The issue is being very careful with opposition request and make sure there is no monkey business. So many hundreds of manhours would be needed to vet through the documents, double and triple confirm that all is well before work can start...to protect the interest of the people, for the good of the people. Understand?
As for the unelected, rejected candidate in a GE to approve the projects of an elected MP, this is another brilliant scheme that can only be found in Singapore. How to trust opposition MPs? Cannot right? So must find some one reliable and trustworthy to check the submissions of opposition MPs, for the good of the people. Please don't ask me who to check the guards and the qualification and integrity of the guards. In Singapore, we have an incorruptible govt with incorruptible politicians and their appointees like rejected candidates in a GE are also incorruptible. They are the best beans to check and control the opposition MPs.
This is why Singapore democracy works so well, as good as flawless. And the beans love it and would blindly and unthinkingly vote for the PAP GE after GE. There is no need to think as the PAP has proven itself to be so good, so efficient and so caring for the people, always working for the good of the people and everyone in this little island.
Our democracy is flawless. Who says the above examples are bad examples of undemocratic processes?

Wayang that they are Animals Lovers.
Hypocrisy in front of all and sundry that they do not condoned Animals cruelties.
But they themselves trained the Innocent God created Dogs to fight in wars and killed and maimed other human beings.

Sin City infested with wildlife with the unspoken consent of Singaporeans
SINGAPORE — Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam has commented on
the incident in a Whampoa area condominium where a resident was caught
on camera hurling vulgarities at a security officer working there,
saying that it was an example of “a sense of entitlement”.
In a viral video, the resident quarrels with security officers after they tell him that his guests, who arrive in a car at Eight Riversuites condominium, have to pay a parking fee. The incident took place on Saturday (26 October), a day before the Deepavali holiday.
Tharman said in a Facebook post on Sunday night, “What this resident did and said was wrong - at so many levels. It is these examples of modern-day bigotry and a sense of entitlement that the light of Deepavali seeks to dispel.” Reported in Yahoo News
Below are some comments on the same incident I plucked from TRE.

“I buy the f**king property for
$1.5 million, you know...Tell the management f**k off...We are not
staying in an HDB,” the resident shouted at a security officer, telling
him that his guests were visiting him for Deepavali. Two security
officers can be heard trying to calm down the resident and telling him
that they are enforcing the rules.

Why didn’t our Million $ Ministers & HSK read the CECA CAREFULLY before signing it?
Our Singaporean CSI Sleuths has manage to expose the Board of Directors at JP Morgan Chase Spore Office are all Indian FTs.
Can MoM bring this matter up to JP Morgan Chase US HeadQuarters and ask them how come there are NO Singaporean Directors appointed in their Singapore Office?

You voted for it so shut up didnt you read the manifesto before you vote?
I can only add this, get rid of CECA. And you can only get rid of CECA if you vote wisely, to benefit you, your children and Singaporeans. You cannot afford to keep quiet on this matter anymore. The wildlife are not here just to steal your job, your lunch, but also your country.
The GE is around the corner. Would the stupidity has no cure Singaporean double confirm that they are really stupid beyond any hope, even willing to give away their island home to foreigners without a fight?
Do you want more wildlife in your home country? If not, get rid of CECA.

American soldiers hunting in Syria
WASHINGTON: It started with eight
helicopters flying low in the dark across hostile territory. It ended
two hours later with one of the most wanted men in the world cornered by
US soldiers, then blowing himself up.
And thousands of miles away in the White House Situation Room, President Donald Trump says he witnessed Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's end on video in amazement.
"As though you were watching a movie," he said....
"A large group" took part, with "eight helicopters, and we had many other ships and planes," Trump said....
And when they landed at the targeted compound, "all hell broke loose," according to Trump.
'ONLY ONE PERSON' LEFT

And when they landed at the targeted compound, "all hell broke loose," according to Trump.
'ONLY ONE PERSON' LEFT
That "was something really amazing to see,"
he said about his experience in the Situation Room, where he was joined
by Vice President Mike Pence and senior military and national-security
officers.
"We watched it so clearly."...
A "large number" of Baghdadi's supporters died in the return fire, Trump said, but no US troops....
And then came the call everyone was waiting for.
"Sir, there's only one person in the building. We are sure he's in the tunnel trying to escape but it's a dead-end tunnel," Trump recounted being told.
It was Baghdadi....
The US troops sent dogs down the tunnel and the Islamic State mastermind "blew himself up."

"He
reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down. He ignited
his vest, killing himself and the three children," Trump said....
The above is a hunting raid conducting by the Americans in Syria, and the prize, not a bear but Baghdadi and his 3 children and many other civilians including women and children. And Trump and his other predators were enjoying every minute of it, in great amazing at the brutality of it all, just like a hunting campaign. What had Baghdadi and those people killed in the raid, including women and children done to the Americans? Nothing, but being branded as terrorists.
Well done Trump and Pence and the American terminators. Didn't the hunters take any scalps as trophies to hand on the walls of their dining rooms? No human rights, no war crimes? Oh, Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. Don't you think so? And the hunters aka terminators would be awarded medals of bravery, for killing women and children, for a hunting spree in Syria.

So caring, seniors are so well taken care of in Singapore
Last Sunday (13 Oct), DPM and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat was at a
PAP event commemorating the International Day of Older Persons when he
shared two events which touched him.
The first was a statement jointly issued by the late Lee Kuan Yew and ESM Goh in 2011: “The younger team must always have in mind the interests of the older generation. This generation who has contributed to Singapore must be well-looked after.” Minister Heng says that this was a principle that he continues to be guided by....
Meanwhile, some 17km away from the Hotel Miramar where the PAP event took place, Secretary-General of the SDP Dr. Chee Soon Juan was at a coffeeshop at Bukit Batok West Avenue 6 last to chat with residents. Sharing a picture on his Facebook page, he shared 2 stories of the lives of residents in their 60s.
The first had around $247k in his CPF after working for 42 years. He would not withdraw the monies and retire as he wanted, as these funds were locked up. Another resident was unable to work because of an illness; he thus wrote to the CPF Board to release him some funds for his sustenance but this was declined. As a result, he had to seek help from charity organisations and his family even had to cut down their meals to twice a day.
Dr. Chee then concluded that these were cases of “Ordinary Singaporeans playing by the rules, paying their taxes but ending up after a lifetime of work unable to live in security. They face a government callous to their hardship, impervious to their pleas.”
The above is quoted from an Editorial piece in TRE title 'A tale of 2 politicians'. In both cases the govt is very caring. For the seniors in general, there are many schemes to lower the cost of living like Pioneer Generation, cheaper transport fares, discounts here and there.
In the second case, the seniors that cannot touch their CPF money, what $247k, they are be very grateful to the govt for protecting their life savings. If the govt did not lock their money up, they would soon spent until nothing left. Some would go to Batam to enjoy life that only money can buy and then return home with pockets emptied. See, now they may complain that they have money only printed in CPF statements but cannot touch, but they can still smile and appreciate the money stated as belonging to them, with many zeros.
These seniors just did not know how good the govt is to them. Luckily only a few will not appreciate this. Many really do and many would vote the PAP to power again in the next GE to protect their money so that the money would forever be there in their CPF accounts, even after they die. No where in the world would a govt care so much for the seniors to keep their money under high security vault, would not be stolen, would not be lost.
And while they feel so comforted and secure with so much money in their CPF, money that would make them very rich in third world countries, they can continue to work till they die as table cleaners in the food courts.
Be thankful, be grateful. Got money in the CPF is better than no money in the CPF right? And the money earns higher interest rates some more. The only other organisation or bean that can give higher interest than CPF is redbean. Anyone wants to keep his life savings with redbean, 10% interest, but cannot take back, will be kept in perpetuity? You can only see the monthly statements that showed how fast the money is ballooning with the high interest rate and be very happy ever after.

Kiasu, kiasi, kia chenghu Singaporean's self defeating logic
Matilah Singapura said this:
'This is a global trend lah. Not just in Singapore. Working life is tilting towards The Gig Economy in most developed cuntries. You can blame the govt all your life, and even think that the "solution" is massive political intervention...but you would be wrong.
The business environment is so fucking competitive now. If you are a CEO---THE PERSON WHO ALLOCATES CAPITAL---your job has never been tougher, which is why, if you are successful, you will be compensated with 100's of millions, if not billions of dollars. And if you fail, you are fired IMMEDIATELY.
So if the competition is so stiff at the top, how do you think it would be for the general salaried worker who has to go thru a rigid HR process just to earn a paycheck? Plus you have ChIndians coming online competing toe-to-toe for jobs, and those folks are HIGHLY MOTIVATED.
As a total China + India make up about a third of the world's population. If you take away the borders and group together all of humanity, One in three people will be either China Chinese or India Indian. You cannot escape the REALITY of NUMBERS....
#1 Rule is: if you want to earn more, be able to create MORE value. If you cannot, someone else will, and they will eat, and you will starve.
Life is UNFAIR. People will let you down. The government will bullshit you....'
While Matilah Singapura is used to blabbing about his own theories of what is good for Singapore as a non living entity, he is happy that Singapore continues as a state even if all the Singaporeans are chased out of this island country they built and once called home.To him the existence of a non living entity is more important than the people in it.
His first point is about high competition at CEO level. Really, what kind of businesses are facing such fierce competition? Running a chicken rice chain in Singapore, a super market or a train system or a GLC or stats board? What kind of foreign or international competition is there or was there that they needed to pay millions to a sales woman to run a public transport company? There are many businesses in Singapore that are domestic in nature and do not need to be paid in the millions as if they are facing international competition or needing rocket science theories. And even need to employ a foreigner with foreign experience to be CEO. Think of the million dollar ministers, facing international competition running rocket science ministries? Or any degree or non graduate also can?
Workers needing to go through rigid HR processes for average mediocre jobs? Of the 2m jobs given to foreigners, bank managers jobs that serviced local residents and HDB dwellers need foreign talents and Singaporeans cannot do them? Look at the number of middle management jobs in MBFC and Raffles Place, need foreign talents and Singaporeans got replaced because foreign talents from little villages are better educated and can do a better job? Please lah, if that is the case, then NUS, NTU and all the local universities should close down. Some idiots even suggested sending our undergrads to do interns in India! Head full of shit.
The real reason is because India and China have more than a billion beans each. Should we replace all the Singaporeans with Indians and Chinese from these two states? We are only 3m Singaporeans and we want to replace them with 2 billions Chinese and Indians?
The more I talk about this, the clearer it becomes, stupidity has no cure. It is not just defeatist Singaporean mentality, it is worse than that, trying to explain why replacing Singaporeans with foreigners is a good thing and the govt is doing the right thing. Singaporeans better wake up and vote out any govt that sells your interest to foreigners and wanting to replace you with foreigners.
PS. Happy Deepavali to our Indian brothers and sisters.

Not enough good jobs for Singaporeans?
That day my friend told me about this very worrying trend of more and more jobs being temporary basis.
Many been saying more and more jobs offer, all actually only available for 6 months period after that cancel, will have to be renewed. I find this trend very worrying, because there is no job security like that, work 6 months end up being jobless against. It is not worth it.
My friend has been finding it hard to find jobs in this market. The government talks a good deal about creating good jobs, but Singaporeans do not want jobs like this. The government comes in and say they are going to reduce foreigners. In the end only cut those low-paying jobs Singaporeans do not want to do. What’s the matter with them?....
The government should focus more efforts on hiring our own Singaporeans instead of always relying on foreign talents who are not as loyal. It is a shame when we work hard in our own country but end up no employer want us just because they only care about degrees and diplomas, or worse, foreigners.
Frustrated local
The above is extracted from a post in TRE, Not enough good jobs for locals. Is this true? Cannot be, Singapore has 2m foreigners working here and many are having good jobs with good pay in the CBD area, in Raffles Place and MBFC. Look at the number of foreigners in these places, they out numbered Singaporeans which means there are many good paying jobs but going to foreigners, not to Singaporeans. The big question is why?
We have a govt that is elected by the people and everyday spouting slogans that they are for Singaporeans, creating good jobs for Singaporeans. Then why are there so many happy foreigners in good jobs and so many unhappy Singaporeans unable to find good jobs here? The number of foreigners in Raffles Place and MBFC is a fact. The number of unhappy Singaporeans unable to find good jobs, unable to find full time jobs can only be heard in social media not in the main media. Who is telling the truth and who is telling lies?
The next GE would tell the truth. If there are many unhappy Singaporeans unable to find good jobs, then they are likely to vote opposition. If Singaporeans are retrenched for whatever reasons, like restructuring, they would not vote for the PAP. But this is only an assumption. The unemployed or retrenched Singaporeans may be so stupid that despite losing their jobs, despite unable to get permanent jobs while foreigners can, would still vote for PAP.
The other fact is that maybe the number of unhappy and unemployed Singaporeans is too small to make a difference and therefore the PAP would still win with big margin, a confirmation that the PAP is doing the right thing and the majority of Singaporeans is supporting the PAP. Or the number of happy foreigners, now new citizens are so large, or at least more than unhappy Singaporeans, so the result is determined by them, the happily employed new citizens.
Which is the truth?
