Forward Singapore or Backward Singapore

1) Singaporeans stopped talking about 5Cs because it is apparent to everyone that under PAP's leadership for the past decades, the promise of "More Good Years" of 5Cs will NEVER be achievable by overwhelming percentage of Singaporeans!

2) In fact 5Cs will become even more distant "Dreams", forever a "Broken Dream" if the Current PAP leadership continues on its path of mismanagement.

3) The "Forward Singapore" is just a distraction and deflection from PAP's own failure and broken promises.

4) PAP can't even solve the most basic needs of most Singaporeans from High Housing Cost to Cost of Living but yet, it tries to hoodwink us again into some "Highfalutin Ideas" of "fulfillment and purpose"!

5) We may be regarded as a country with Highest GDP per capital but the huge income disparity doesn't make huge majority of us having High Standards Quality of Living. We do have the High Cost of Living though!

Decide for yourself.

    recently some scammers at Sg gov career portal changed the login to require google authenticator as 2FA.
    There is already an existing Singpass 2FA.
    A check shows google autheticator has lots of problems, preventing access.
    Registering is also an issue.

    This is NOT needed and organizations usually will NOT use such external apps for their internal purpose.
    This is a scam to prevent access.

    Why do you need to go to the phone when you are on pc?
    It shows poor system design.

    Who is managing the system?

  • Lawrence 99-Equal -Zero:

    ….” PAP can’t even solve the most basic needs of most Singaporeans from High Housing Cost”’
    The only Minister to-date that voiced HDB 99 Equal Zero—when the lease run out.
    There are 200,500 plus HDB flats older than 40 years.
    In 2030 there will be 500,000- equally old. About half of the 1,100,000 HDB flats.
    One in four sinkies will be above 65.
    This is ”clear and present danger ‘ that the clueless leadership is not addressing.
    You cannot ‘forward Singapore’ with the blinkers on.
    Time to have a national conversation on THIS issue.

  • Going backward:

    Remember our government shamelessly urged Singaporean no need obtain degree -> take up hawker jobs -> take up plumber jobs. Then put up number of newspaper articles and tv shows glorify hawker and lesser extend on plumber (one newspaper article report on young people setup plumber company).

    Moving forward -> not to pursue 5C, lower down living standards expectation.

    Degree: wouldn’t it be the aspiration of every Singaporean?
    Take up hawker job: tough to compete with FTs? There are abundant jobs in Singapore yet are Singaporean facing tough in getting a job due to tough competition against cheaper FTs and the “preference for own kind” hiring managers? Why Singapore has no employ citizen first which is standard law in every other countries? why FTs from backward countries with third world infrastructure such as IT, etc. suddenly become talents when touch down in Singapore?
    Take up plumber job: same as above.
    Not to pursue 5C: Singapore can no longer provide conducive working environment to enable Singaporean achieve their aspirations? Too much competition from
    FTs?

    We could simply withdraw $100B to lavish on generous furlough to even many non-sgs working here,particularly those with high salaries.
    But,we tell our young sgs that we cannot give decent aid to our seniors who accumulated such vast past reserves?
    Yet,the young,including well-heeled,get baby bonuses and diam diam?

  • Australia follow pappies:

    A new law is about to kill free speech and democracy in Australia. A bill on fighting “misinformation and disinformation” and “harm” aims to empower a government agency to police online expression.

    It is noteworthy that the Australian Government is exempted from the proposed legislation. Hence, the content issued by the government is never to be considered ‘misinformation’ but criticisms of the government by ordinary citizens can. It is certainly ironic that views incompatible with the government’s preferred narrative could be deemed to ‘harm’ the integrity of Australia’s democracy since it would disallow speech and expressive conduct that is integral to the maintenance of democratic processes.

    Lately Singpass started to need another 3rd level authentication using face scanning.
    Recall about 8 years ago, we were hacking this face-scanning idea.
    Now this is creating login problem as the system could not verify.

    It scanned and says it is “SUCCESSFUL”
    Then it came up with an Error message.

    First it claim to verify with the govt database, but it seems it does not.
    So this is actually created by Singpass themselves.
    This is unnecessary.

    It is unable to cater to important situations, especially during critical times
    such as
    – during emergencies
    – you have an accident
    – time sensitive situations eg job application, payment, etc
    – face do up
    – agng, etc

    they say to ignore the important situations!!!
    they also blame your system which is functioning for the problem
    their suggested browsers is their usual

    This facial recognition is undesirable and should not be used for authentication since it is
    – prone to errors
    – need high bandwidth
    – slow the system
    – you are not groomed, undressed?
    – no phone
    – camera malfunction
    is absolutely not needed as your errants can’t be done by others too

    In case you are unaware, other countries already stop using such verification

    This is unneeded, poor system design
    Expect major system c**k-ups.

    Hindered.
