No Welfare State but is Robber State better?

Do you agree that Singapore is at the other extreme? An extremist state! The opposite extreme of a Welfare State, the Robber State. Think about this and discuss!

>> they make you 'save' for your old age as Mandatory...
>> they set aside or make you top-up Medisave account as Mandatory...
>> they have you opted in, in many of their 'insurances'
Almost everything is Mandatory and opted for you whether you like it or not...
But when you wanna use any of the above.... that's when you find a lot of hidden Terms....and still end up paying substantially in hard cash..
...*sigh*
I'm leaving, hence I will not comment further.... I'll leave it to the next generation of New Citizens who are now foreigners to teach our beloved gov a lesson in governance... -

Then take 4 figure sum from me over the next year or so by increasing taxes / charges.. we're not blind!
Can't wait to cash out my CPF and go.. If I take a fall, I want to be helped back onto my own 2 feet.. not to be sent to the slaughterhouse like a racehorse with a broken leg!

if you don't want to become leather wallet when you break your leg, I guess you have no choice but to leave. -
BTW it is indeed better to cash out your CPF and leave, just in case you lose it all to the casino; built to recoup the money many people withdraw from the CPF when they reach withdrawal age.
