Why does such an impression persist in a young mind - if you are young ?
Are you still dependent on your parents at this stage of your life - presuming it to be between early-to-mid 20's; or are you struggling to be independent from the grips and nagging of your parents - if you are in your teens ?
If your parents persist - and even insists their parental rights - in handling all your affairs, and pressing their concerns into your private life, even when you have reach adulthood, and into your 40's or 50's - are you in any position to deny them of their persistent habit at interfering ?
Is it your fault at wanting to be pampered by your parents, or is it their fault in not knowing how to let go ?
Would it be your fault at wanting to be pampered with handouts, if your parents insist that all you have earned is to be handed to them ? -

In a society where the majority still believe the alternatives cannot make a difference, the younger generation of singaporeans have little choice but to follow the masses.
Every action, every word has been engineered to keep the incumbents in power, but it is the people who have chosen to follow this path. Like the Matrix, many prefer to take the blue pill, and accept the beef for what it is perceived: juicy and tasty, rather than what it ultimately is: blind ignorance.
And for the moment, unfortunately, ignorance is a bliss.
It took hundreds of years before European culture developed into an open society, into one where their own citizens play an active role in governace. In retrospect, our relatively closed system prevents us from emulating the same target; it will be decades before our culture changes for the better. -

Unfortunately, Singaporeans are not in any position to 'coin' new terms and put new understanding to politically hot words such as 'handouts' and 'entitlements'; or 'social welfare' and 'workfare'.
The Ruling Party aka the Singapore Government of 45 years - have cleverly twisted words with simple clear meanings, and creatively painted these words into politically and socially unacceptable dirty words - such as social welfare, unemployment welfare, subsidies, etc.
Social Welfare is derided as a social ill, and the impression of one who is down and out-of-luck become permanently hook on social welfare is persistently pushed into the forefront by this Government as it avoids its social responsibility towards the lower strata of Singapoer Society - the poor and the aged.
In place of Social Welfare, it has created new terms such as 'Workfare' that is tied to a string of conditions that do not address the social problems of the under privileged, those whom they claim to be 'unemployed by choice' or 'homeless by choice' - as if one can choose to be poor. -

where is 66.6% of the votes?
2 major groups of concern.
1. muslims are great supporter of the PAP. or rather the Opp. party fail to capture the hearts of the minority groups. imagine muslims make up over 30%. if all support opp. party, what happen to PAP?
2. female. tends to political ignorances except office type. they view opp. party as trouble maker and if oppose PAP, will get into more trouble.
thus better stay away.
