Why isn't there people who fight for human rights in sg?
-
Abuses...Military police...ISD.. and even when it comes to fare increase..nobody helping the people who take public transport in singapore
and nobody stops NTUC from making profits ??
Even when HDB evicts out the wong family..who helps them??
I don't understand why organisations indirectly/directly related to the government have to make $$ from the people.
Government and the people are like how parents are to children...
Government making $$ from the people is like parents asking $$ from children..
Anyone agree? -
Why is it always what the Government tells what the people to do rather then both sides listening to each other?? -
u got food,home and clothes to wear...who will complain?standing up meaning going to jail nia...LOLz...useless singaporeans
-
Those who tried to help are already in jail/dentention or dead.

I think you need to clear something up ... Fare increases and nobody fighting for Human Rights are two different things.... Price increases are business it hapens with anything you buy, inflasion will always raise the prices of goods, and services even in a country like UK which has human rights activists everywhere still has price increase, so stop right there trying to blame human rights for you 3cents fair increases.Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:Abuses...Military police...ISD.. and even when it comes to fare increase..nobody helping the people who take public transport in singapore

Again Stop, its simple economics if the govenment or any buinsess does not make money then there will be major problems... If government doesnt get money country cannot spend to protect its people, build buildings maintain roads, transport etc etc. If company doesnt earn money then it cant afford to pay workers leading to mass unemployment then leading to poverty

Your post seems to have nothing to do with human rights, rather you having to spend money. Its simple, if the government has no money then who will fund the Army ? The answer is nobody, your country is then defense less, if your Government has no money who maintains public transport, roads, subsidises businesses?????? -
Different story in Hongkong. Anyone remember one company was thwarted in its attempt to list its REIT by an elderly tenant? She had some lawyer's backing, if I'm not mistaken.
Also, note that UK (as well as many EU states) practice welfarism. The public transport services are heavily subsidised. Price increases are tied to personal incomes.
I have to agree that the unholy alliance between big business and government is not very good for the common people. In many other countries, trade unions have immense bargaining power. Everyone is afraid of them. -
even if we do complain, it's likely the government won't take any action. unless of cause, the whole country complains. but no one dares, they've got the cops on their side.
