PAP- Betraying our trust for self elevation?
Is PAP misusing tax payerÂ’s money to win votes?-
Obvious favoritism with an ulterior motive?
CNA: “The catch to the $100 million carrot - Eric Low has to be voted in first.”- this is disgraceful as it’s obvious whom this $100M actually belongs to- I wonder what the rest of Singaporeans feel about this- No consensus, no accountability, -- we must certainly maintain constant supervision of the PAP.
And now- if our 1st class gov wants to be fair to ALL SINGAPOREANS- then it MUST reward equally ALL constituencies with equal privileges regardless of the Hougang outcome- a S$8.4Billion billÂ…. Â….
PAP dangles S$100m upgrading package to woo Hougang voters

The People's Action Party is dangling a S$100 million upgrading package to woo Hougang voters.
Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong says for the first time, residents will decide how they want to upgrade their estate, if they gave the go-ahead for the upgrading.
Mr Goh, who is lending weight to PAP candidate Eric Low's campaigning efforts, announced the upgrading package after visiting two blocks of flats in Hougang.
Mr Goh says this could lead to more such projects in the future if successfully implemented in Hougang.
He said: "In the old days, HDB flats were planned by very young architects who never knew they will grow old, so you design blocks in such a way to give people privacy, and those who moved in also enjoyed the privacy, but now they find that 30 years down the road, they want lifts to stop at every floor.
"So it's better to have this kind of ground-up kind of planning. So the contest here in Hougang and Potong Pasir gives us an opportunity to try another method of developing whole housing estates. Hougang, I think, is a good place to start."
The catch to the $100 million carrot - Eric Low has to be voted in first.
He added that Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew's earlier comments on the lower integrity standard of Workers' Party candidate Low Thia Khiang compared to Singapore Democratic Alliance's Chiam See Tong, will help swing votes in favour of Eric Low. - CNA/ch
