6.9 million by 2030 ! What madness !

My friend, an ex-S'poren who has happily settled in Australia - dropped me an email expressing her shock about PAP intention to further expand S'pore population.

Her exact words : How can Singapore be 6.9m ! It will be worse.

We the citizen know it is madness, how can PAP not know ?  What is their real hidden agenda ?  They try to bluff their way through with their white paper on population with airy statistics which no sensible citizens will believe. We can see with our eyes and experience what has happened around us these past years with the rapid population growth.

Reducing population is harder than population expansion. Even with our years of falling fertility rate, S'pore population has been on the rise. Just import. So if they miscalculate again (nothing new) - what are they going do to about the 'extra' people ? People die naturally, and nowadays folks are living longer. You cannot 'expel' people from the country as we are not refugee !

The population white lies paper makes many assumptions and resulting effects based on these flaw assumptions. Who is going to believe our quality of life will be better and there will be more jobs for PMET ?
(PMET = Professional, Managers, Engineers and Technicians)

Our quality of life has been on the decline for years for ordinary citizens. PMET unemployment has been on the rise. How can bringing in more people to squeeze into an already densely populated area improve our quality of life. How can more competitive job market creates better employment prospect for local PMET ?

Empty words and broken promises - we have been through all these before. Did not our ex-PM Goh promised us Swiss standard of living ? What happen to that now ?

These assumptions are full of holes. How can PAP guarantee foreign investments will continue or existing ones will not pull out of S'pore ? Many of our neighbouring countries are opening up. They will be the future dragons of Asia and the drawing magnet for overseas investment.

What about global event like climate change which can result in food shortage and/or drought. What will happen to S'pore then with our over population of 6.9 million ? We import practically every thing and is not self sufficient in water resources. So will we be having food and water rationing in peace time ?

Why is PAP so blind and deaf ?  Perhaps there is an ugly hidden agenda.




 

PM fears transparency

This is what PM said regarding request by citizens that the

governing party be more transparent. 

"If you know that everything you write down is going to be

made public, a lot of things are not going to be written down."  

What does this reflect about his thinking and his party

integrity? As it is they are operating being an opaque screen.

So if we request for more transparency, they will hide even

more things from the public? 

If one is honest,what is there to hide? What is there to fear? 

Often, we get a good glimpse of the real 'face' of PM and his

PAP gang through their slip of tongue. Just like the time when

PM said about him needing to spend more time to fix the

opposition should more of them be elected into parliament. 

We know how good his daddy is in fixing his opponents.

Like father like son. PM takes after his father in many ways..

he too is notorious for taking up law suits against S'pore

citizens at every perceived 'insult'. After all he has lots

of money to throw around with his excessive salary which is

highest in the world amongst political office holders.          

PM does NOT fit the bill

PM attributed his party poor performance in the recent by-election to the candidate inability to connect with the mass. What a joke - his party hand pick him and now they realized they picked the wrong man !

Now he is saying they they will get candidates that the mass can connect with, which according to him must pass these questions as criteria :

- "Do I feel like you ?"

- "Do I like you ?"

- "Can I connect with you ?"

Base on these questions from PM, it is obvious that, PM himself as leader of his party does NOT fit the bill ! No wonder he cherry pick all the wrong men for the job and we the citizens suffer the consequences. Perhaps PM should resign for the good of his party and the country.

WP only capable of being co-driver of PAP

Why did Mr Low of Workers' Party (WP) played down his party victory in the recent by-election ?

He was telling us that WP is happy assisting PAP and they are not ready to form the next govt. So when will they be ready?

When PAP first formed the govt, likely they were not 'ready' but just went ahead, as opportunity waits for no men.  After all, the administrative system was in place and it was not as if they started from scratch.

After decades of independence, our civil administrative system has been strengthen. So why is WP so lacking in confident of their party capability ?

Could it be they have come to know of things PAP hides from us ? After all, the AIM saga is likely the tip of the ice berg of PAP dirty linings.

If it is serious matter regarding all these official 'legalized' (though they may not be ethical) administration of our funds....reserve, CPF,...etc....it will be a concern indeed that should they become the governing party - what to do - to disclose or not to disclose ? The truth could hurt S'pore's image and international standing and also fury from the citizens if country's fund and our life saving in CPF are not solid but hollow.

The Punggol Slap

Workers' Party (WP), Mr Low said that he hoped voters in Punggol East would give PAP (People's Action Party) the 'Punggol Slap' during the by-election. His wish came true. Hurray ! WP won the by-election by a comfortable margin.

Looks like it is a pretty hard slap for PM and his PAP gang. They deserve it with all their wayang (acting).

Just look at some of the names PAP has been called and it is clear how most citizens view them and their policies :

- Party Against People
- Perfectly Arrogant Party
- People Acting Party

Whether a person is sincere or not is reflect in his face, smile and action. Just look at PM, - his smile is so fake. He tries to smile to soften his image but one just get goose pimples looking at it.  His smile shows that he basically CAN'T smile and is uncomfortable doing so. What does it says of such a person, who is not comfortable even with himself ?
