Are you happy or not?

Are you Happy? If not, you are not alone!

Under PAP's rule and PM Lee leadership, Singaporeans are becoming more unhappy! Why? In spite of high GDP growth, Singaporeans are still becoming more unhappy?!

Quality of Life has dropped with PAP's aggressive population growth strategy! Such GDP Growth at All Cost is bringing more unhappiness to Singaporeans ever!

    Only ONE THING can already tell the HARD TRUTH on HAPPINESS LEVEL in $in City.
    ELDERLY SUICIDES NUMBER.
    Go figure if you still think so highly of your destructive policie$.

    Also,on the OPPOSITE $PECTRUM,if you wanna confirm.
    NUMBER OF BILLIONAIRE$ AND THEIR TOTAL NETWORTH$ KEPT I
    NCREA$ING IN “LEEcent”(read recent) year$ even as more snd more former sg-PMETs are displaced from decent jobs and many becoming impoverished to form an unannounved NEW POOR.

    So much for HIGH KPI(GDP PER C A P I T A).
    It is rather deceptive as a measure of well-being.
    As for WELFARE,EVEN FOREIGNERS HERE GOT MUCH HIGHER GRANTS PER CAPITA FT THAN MANY ORDINARY N NEEDY sgs who got only $600 once-off when GRANT PER CAPITA was announced as $23.5K?

    Equity?
    Integrity?
    My simple mind just camnot accept.
    Can you???

  • Harder Truths:

    I speak with many true-bule ballsless and happy $tupid $heeple each day.

    They are very happy their HDB is so expensive (because once they own it in 30 years after their load repayment period it will be worth even more! Never mind that for the next 30 years they cannot afford to live like human beings).

    They are ecstatic there are so many FT and jobs (because they can deliver more orders as Grab delivery).

    They love the crowded shopping centers and town centers (because these are great places to beg).

    They are joyous about the hospitals being understaffed and overutilised, staff being undertrained and excess deaths (because this increases home healthcare and funeral services)

    Life is good for $tupid $heeple. We should all be grateful to the Regime and FT for giving us an unvercrowded, overpriced and overused system that is only going to get worse – I mean better.

    Let the good times roll…..

    So,assuming there is “growth” as defined and claimed .
    From my basic understanding of Economics 101,economic growths without the accompanying PRODUCTIVITY GROWTHS cannot be lauded.

  • Western Propaganda:

    Another Reuters anti-China propaganda.

    1. The cited official statistics is wrong. It’s not wrong by a bit. It is wrong by 20 times bigger. See the real official numbers here:

    https://www.stats.gov.cn/english/PressRelease/202312/t20231221_1945706.html

    2. What kind of “expert” from Reuters gave estimates based on home size of 70sqm? Even TRE’s home is a 100 or 1000 times bigger.

    3. The so-called former top official is an 81 yr old man, who likely retired 10 or 20 years ago. He did not have any insider info. He’s just an ordinary old man. The same as our local Liu tiger who said Sg can take in 20 million population.

    4. Western sheep eagerly swallow every western propaganda.

    Boom And Bust: ”China has so many excess homes that some estimate you could house three billion people in them. A former top official in China mentioned the jaw-dropping figure at an economic forum on Saturday”

    Tech: If you are referring to my house in the village, it is about 400平方米, excluding the fields. The one I had in the city is 139平方米 with a balcony. The smallest residential units on sale in the city is about 90平方米, the quoted 70sqm is the size of the government’s 贫困户 for those with financial issues and is officially registered as “poor”.

  • Harder Truths:

    Are the walking dead in $inkieland happy?

    The Hard Evidence Mounts that They Intend to Kill Us All

    https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/01/15/the-hard-evidence-mounts-that-they-intend-to-kill-us-all-2/

    In early April 2023, microbiologist Kevin McKernan — a former researcher and team leader for the MIT Human Genome project1 — posted a preprint paper2 detailing massive DNA contamination in Pfizer’s and Moderna’s bivalent COVID booster shots.3,4,5,6 As explained in the abstract:7

    “Several methods were deployed to assess the nucleic acid composition of four expired vials of the Moderna and Pfizer bivalent mRNA vaccines. Two vials from each vendor were evaluated …

    Multiple assays support DNA contamination that exceeds the European Medicines Agency (EMA) 330ng/mg requirement and the FDAs 10ng/dose requirements …”

    The highest level of DNA contamination found was 30%, meaning nearly one-third of the content of certain vials was plasmid DNA, the presence of which dramatically increases the likelihood of genomic integration and cancer.

    What this means, in plain English, is that the shots could potentially alter your DNA, which is something vaccine makers, health authorities and fact checkers have vehemently denied and written off as “impossible.” Yet here we are, with inconvenient facts staring us in the face yet again.

    Regulatory Agencies Were Aware of the Problem

    https://www.lewrockwell.com/2023/10/joseph-mercola/alarming-covid-jab-contamination-shocks-scientists/

    This is just ONE VERY SIMPLE example.

    High KPIs?
    What kind of KPIs truly?

    Much of overall happiness ,besides economic wellbeing/welfare, depends on what i humbly call “SPACE PER CAPITA”.
    In continuous over-crowding of this TINY Island-state, the “SPACE PER CAPITA” has been continuously DECREASING as well.
    Take a chicken coop for those who are older and more familiar with chicken rearing.
    You could easily observe more “squabbling” in the coop as more chickens are placed in it.
    The same it is with humans and more so!
    Go look around.
    More and more squabbles and fights all-round.
    Whose fault?
    OVER-CROWDING LEADS TO VERY TIGHT “SPACE PER CAPITA” and this leads to more unhappiness.
