Dark Clouds

We have a good run but things are not looking good. The ground is not sweet anymore. The land is no longer fertile. The government with its over reliance on the importation of foreigners, especially the super rich, to grow the GDP is doing us, true blue Singaporeans, in. My wife and I came from humble beginnings. From as young as I can remember I was helping out in a family business, selling bread. I had to manage my studies while attending to customers. My wife had an even more difficult time. She remembers that on several occasions she was made to stand in the corner of her class for not paying school fees because her parents couldn’t raise the money. Imagine the joy when we bought our first car and a 5-room HDB flat which we were able to pay off in a matter of a few years. The land then was fertile. For those who were willing to put in their efforts, worked hard and ambitious, a better life was in the offing.

Ironically, after 50 years of progress the future of our young today is at stake. The situation is bleak. Hardworking is no longer a guarantee for better life but not putting in the efforts is doomed to spiralling downwards. How many can dream of owning a car or a private property? How many are still holding to the hope, the belief and conviction that life will be better? Talk to the people on the ground. Cast a wider net. Not the few who are doing well or cite some rotten apples examples as justification to condemn the lot. As in any society, there will always be the condemned and the high achievers. What matters is the masses, the common people. What are their hopes and aspirations? There is a general air of pessimism, cynicism, distrust and hopelessness brought about by the government which performs not as a head of a family as it should but as a CEO of a corporation.

PAP, take heed the rot has begun.

 

PY Wong

    PY Wong is a typical petty, narrow and small minded Singaporean.

    He say “The land is no longer fertile.”

    But to many who walk the ground and connected to the ground, Singapore land is even more fertile under great PAP.

    We are now Capital of ASEAN and we are ASEANEES.

    For Singaporeans who are open minded, it’s the sky the limit.

    Understand you are replaceable. If you fail there is always someone who will take your place.

    Can anyone retire and live like a human being? No? Then why tell me your problem? You mus fix it right? Stop complaining. No one is listening.

  • Hi!:

    Unfortunately change is very hard to come by. We are not a truly untainted honorable democracy. The msm made things worse & the cycle of propaganda repeats itself erroneously. As such S’pore electorates are apathetic & unable to vote wisely. Many citizens are uninitiated & ignorant politically.

    Bec of this, we have bad governance voted in, that produced S’pore’s low TFR, thereby the quick but cheap fix of importing aliens. And the list of fumbling bad policies committed by the incumbent PAP goes on from here. SO IT IS A DANGER FOR SUPPOSEDLY “DEMOCRATIC” COUNTRIES IF THE ELECTORATES THEMSELVES ARE APATHETIC POLITICALLY. Bec these electorates can be easily “manipulated”.

    The alternative political parties can hv the best intentions for S’poreans & talk until the cow comes back, IT IS ALL A WASTE OF MUCH TIME LOST FOR THE CITIZENS & NATION where decade after decade the electorates are still not atuned. SUCH A SITUATION IS JUST ONE STEP SHORT OF DISASTER. AS IT IS EASIER FOR WW3 TO BREAK OUT THAN FOR S’POREANS TO VOTE FOR CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT. The people & the nation loses like that.

  • What Can LHL Do ?:

    @Spore R Free Rider

    Singapore is Aseanee and Capital Of Asean ?

    Please do not talk Cock.
    There are 300 million Indonesians and 30 millions Malaysians surrounding us and anytime when they decide, they will able to swallow us easily.

    Due to our FT Import policy, many Singaporeans are either jobless or underemployed doing jobs such as private hire car drivers or delivery riders.

    The Philippines is now exercising with USA military and has allowed USA forces to have access to 4 military bases in the Philippines to fight against China.

    USA, UK and the EU are supplying weapons to Ukraine to fight against Russia.

  • Reality:

    While beefing up against China, together with Japan, South Korea, Philippines, soon more will join in as time goes by, … is US going to let Singapore sabotage in the backyard?

    How long Singapore can continue to play both sides?

    Recent new height to COE and latest ABSD hike is the direct result of Ultra-rich families entering into Singapore. While COE does not directly impact majority of non-car owning people and ABSD not affecting those only interested with one property. It indirectly affects our cost of living.

    Ultra-rich will not want to wait 1 hr to charge their car. And they have no patience sending their luxury car for servicing. Every 1 to 2 months, just get new models.

    This ABSD is trying to make ultra-rich accept Singapore citizenship or PR. Does it make Singaporean better? The Ultra-rich will always and can always change their citizenship like toilet paper. And our citizenship is toilet paper while we need to waste our time in NS defending the playground of the rich. China, next will be Indian riches, Vietnam riches… and our CPF are kept captive until death do us apart.

  • Agree, one more point:

    My nephew in his mid-late thirties and foreign wife have problem buying a 2 bedroom flat in Punggol, near his mother’s. He said the price went up from about $140,000 in 2019 to $220,000 now.
    Maybe he should have married a rich wife like the late LKY or OYK.
    PAP leadership has no vision or foresight, only backside and reacts to situations like covid 19, and its appointed cronies or committee gave it a good rating for the job done.
    The mass media keep echoing PAP propaganda all the time especially recently to brainwash people that it is doing everything for Singaporeans.
    GE is coming soon.
    I am not surprised that the media did not ask Desmond Lee on the new ABSD whether the ABSD and other so-called cooling measures introduced since 2011 are working!
    Why the same “medicines” and ever-increasing dosages each time?
    What is more worrying is the Minister in charge of housing in the recent past was Mah Boh Tan, Kwa Boon Wan, Lawrence Wong.
    Wong is going to be our next PM!
    Good luck to those who voted and will continue to vote PAP.
    Maybe that is what they want, remember the late LKY warned us if Mah Boh Tan lost in GE 2011, property prices would drop. He was right. Again, he also told us if PAP loses Aljunied, voters have 5 years to repent.
    Wong will win in the next GE as Western Singapore is PAP stronghold.

    Singapore problem is they take care of the rich even better than the American system.

    A foreigner has to pay ABSD if he is to buy a Singapore property.

    He just need become a Singaporean or PR, or marry a Singaporean to qualify to buy even a new HDB flat.

    A Singaporean man is not eligible to buy a HDB flat, when he marries a foreigner, he is still not eligible to buy one. He serves NS for what! To protect the assets of foreigners and the rich.

  • 2Daft2Live:

    As any objective person would know when entering a casino….the house always win. The odds are deliberately stacked against the players. The PAP had been staking the odds against true blue SGers for decades by importing new citizens who are “hinted” that they must be “loyal” to the country and the govt (i.e. the ruling party). That doesn’t meant that these new citizens aren’t screwed….I knew of new citizens who became too costly…got retrenched and/or forced out of their jobs. Now if they realize the horrible future awaiting their now true blue SG children I am sure they will try to vote for change. But against an avalanche of new citizens eager to proof their “loyalties”, it’s a case of too little, too late. As long as the intake of new citizens can negate the increased in percentage of swing voters who are disgruntled, the status quo stays. And you can be sure that the MIW will ensure that this balance continues to tilt in their favour.

    So what strategies should enlightened oppies adopted? One, don’t have children or if you have ensure that they got a chance to migrate. Two, marry a foreigner man or woman. So that when the time comes to retire, you get a chance to choose a less stressful, less costly and more enjoyable place for retirement. Three, don’t get sucked into buying big ticket items that require you to slave the next few decades to pay off. Be cash rich with little to no debt. This will give you more options later on if you choose to migrate or retire somewhere else. I pity the SG retirees who slaved a lifetime for their properties, cars and children only to find themselves with little savings in their twilight years. Then to their rude surprise, the children also don’t have money to spare for them because they hardly made enough for themselves and their families. No money, no talk, no options….just waiting to die.

    -Three, don’t get sucked into buying big ticket items that require you to slave the next few decades to pay off.

    Be cash rich with little to no debt. This will give you more options later on if you choose to migrate or retire somewhere else. I pity the SG retirees who slaved a lifetime for their properties, cars and children only to find themselves with little savings in their twilight years. Then to their rude surprise, the children also don’t have money to spare for them because they hardly made enough for themselves and their families. No money, no talk, no options….just waiting to die.

    Actually it can be summarized into 7 words or less.

    Live within your means or Never spend your money before you have it.

    Unfortunately many Singaporeans are how lian, like to compare and show off they are doing well when they are actually in deep debts with large unpaid loans.

    Very much like Pastor Kong/Sun and Ven. Mingyi who try to live it up when in reality they can ill afford it.

    NO PITY FOR THESE GROUPS OF SINKIES. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

    For those who are humble and not how lian like my ex purchaser colleague who despite having a combine income of SGD 13,000 still opt to buy 3 room HDB flats many moons ago.

    I ask him why he never follow Sinkies how lian attitude quick quick go buy condo.

    He said he preferred to have hard cash on hand when he retired.

    A rare smart Singaporean.

    “Live within your means, never be in debt, and by husbanding your money you can always lay it out well.”

  • Sorry I am Pro China/Russia:

    @Singaporean Are Free Rider

    You are completely wrong. It seems you are not very clever to make a good judgement.

    I am completely supporting China and Russia. Not an American Canon Fodder.

    So read carefully before making a judgement.

    Well, if you choose to be China/Russia canon fodder, so be it.

    We will take note of it just like Smart Nation who choose to be a low level CIA agent.

    Anyway, We are democratic. You are free to make your decision/choice.

    Sink-A-Poor is the 7th most expensive by world ranking in terms COL index.
    Even Japan and China fall way behind.
    And ,India way below.
    Even U$A has lower COL.
    EXCEPT FOR NORWAY N SWITZERLAND,the others which ranks higher are *holiday* cointries for the RICH.

    With HDBs going for more than $1 million,Sg will soon be Number 1!

  • P Against People:

    We should be no.1. The money for a piece of COE, without the car, can buy a good Mercedes in other countries, with spare for round the world tour.
