u make me laughed so much. No classes in Singapore?
The Rich vs Middle and Low Income Class -
You are using material wealth to classify class, which is gravely wrong.Originally posted by Spartans: u make me laughed so much. No classes in Singapore?
The Rich vs Middle and Low Income Class
So what if you drive big cars, stay in private property while I take MRT and stay in HDB?
Does that mean you are "higher class" than me?
If you serious think so, than you are confirmed low class.
Too bad. -
It sux but it is not useless.Originally posted by Spartans:At least the opposition will raise the issue that "ERP sux and is useless" to the Government. Whether the government will brighten up and learn from their mistakes is another issue.
Based on Frathulear simulation, if ERP is removed, the jam at CTE will be very massive. So ERP helps. -
Nobody in this thread asked you to choose the opposition. Who you want to choose it is out of your own free will, nobody can force you.Originally posted by rojak12:Huh? Why should I choose the opposition? Huh? -
I take MRT and live in a HDB. nothing wrong with it.Originally posted by rojak12:You are using material wealth to classify class, which is gravely wrong.

The Government has used income level to differentiate Singaporeans into various classes. High income, middle income, low income classes. Am I wrong to say so? -
You are right. I am wrong. Sorry. Bye bye.Originally posted by qlqq9:Nobody in this thread asked you to choose the opposition. Who you want to choose it is out of your own free will, nobody can force you. -
Which countries will not have these data? And what did the government do with these data to make you not happy?Originally posted by Spartans:I take MRT and live in a HDB. nothing wrong with it.

Err I guess this is not relevant to ur thread.Originally posted by rojak12:Which countries will not have these data? And what did the government do with these data to make you not happy?
Anyway I have no problem with the datas. Just that this form the basis of class division. -
What business is it of yours if the economy is strong, healthy and unemployment is low and you happen to fall in the minority where you're unemployed and living below subsistence level?Originally posted by rojak12:So long as our economy is strong, healthy and jobless rate low, why should I choose the opposition?
What sort of analogy are you using here? I bet it must be a blessing to live in abject poverty so long as your neighbours are billionaires, then. -
Heh. I agree, and anyone else who has done some basic economics would see the point of it.Originally posted by rojak12:It sux but it is not useless.

Go to the Bureau of Statistics and/or the Reserve Bank of these countries, most of them will have this sort of data available.Originally posted by rojak12:Which countries will not have these data? And what did the government do with these data to make you not happy?

You should choose the opposition if you support their ideas. Or you can just don't vote XD Or you can form your own political party. XD -
If the unemployment is low (i.e. most people have jobs) and the economy is strong (most people are doing well financially) but you are the one who is unemployed, you jolly well ask yourself why you are not doing well. If others can can get jobs, why not you? Get off your back and start working instead of ranting in electronic forums.Originally posted by walesa:What business is it of yours if the economy is strong, healthy and unemployment is low and you happen to fall in the minority where you're unemployed and living below subsistence level?

Nobody owes you a living. -
The economy is always used as an excuse for the government to shirk its social responsibility . The economy is strong but the people are unhappy

Unemployment is low -> What kind of jobs are available? If there are only low-paying jobs around, such as only $300 a month, is that any case to celebrate? If Singaporeans do take any job (even low-paying one), they can feed themselves but are they able to save for their old age?Originally posted by oxford mushroom:If the unemployment is low (i.e. most people have jobs) and the economy is strong (most people are doing well financially) but you are the one who is unemployed, you jolly well ask yourself why you are not doing well.

Economy is good -> who is benefiting from the economy boom? If only the rich are getting better job offer whereas the poor are left out, is this good?
Strange for you to complain that ppl are ranting in electronic forums when you yourself are participating in it.

Going by your mindless track, I suppose a delusional moron with sycophantic inclinations has just found the solution to tackling global poverty.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:If the unemployment is low (i.e. most people have jobs) and the economy is strong (most people are doing well financially) but you are the one who is unemployed, you jolly well ask yourself why you are not doing well.

With a government like this, faster close shop better.Originally posted by rojak12:You mean you kanna fired before?
For those of you who are FIRED, too bad, you deserve it. You must have committed a big mistake or make the boss si beh tulan.
Don't blame the government if you are fired.
If you are being layoff and cannot find another job, it means you are of no value to your current company and to our economy. -

Same class "by name"? I suppose most of us are citizens by name too. -
You are 100% correct and we should judge the government based on what they can deliver in those area. Without the a strong economy Singaporeans will be nothing but a bunch of expensive workers in this eyes of our neighbouring countries.Originally posted by rojak12:So long as our economy is strong, healthy and jobless rate low, why should I choose the opposition? -
lol... really saluting TS sia...
Dare to post this type of thread in here...
Or is it mouth itching??? -
Is there a reason to believe that the opposition wouldn't be able to do at least the same?Originally posted by rojak12:So long as our economy is strong, healthy and jobless rate low, why should I choose the opposition?
Is there a possibility that Singapore might have progressed even further if the government had checks and balances to prevent some of the "bad decisions" made by PAP. For example, the tens of billions lost in foreign investment?
Could it be possible that we do not entirely know the "real" status of several of our governmental project because there is no one to check on them?
What if you could have both liberty and a rich economy?
Why shouldn't you vote for your opposition? -
What simulation is that again?Originally posted by rojak12:It sux but it is not useless.

I see nothing of it in the www. -
Some people were born to believe that they are entitled to everything in this country and if they dont have it, they wont blame themselves for not working for it, but use that as a reason to accuse the government of fcuking up their life and whine about themselves being victims of their policy and bla bla bla.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:If the unemployment is low (i.e. most people have jobs) and the economy is strong (most people are doing well financially) but you are the one who is unemployed, you jolly well ask yourself why you are not doing well.

a) If we want to take the risk to change, we should be expecting something alot better, acheiving the same result it not a good enough reason for change.Originally posted by maven2:Is there a reason to believe that the opposition wouldn't be able to do at least the same?

b) The frequent fall out of party members within the opposition is a tell tale sign that there the opposition will eventually be fighting among themselves instead of fighting for this country if they run the government
c) There will be a cost for political freedom and one of the reason for Singapore economic success if the stablity of our government and its policy. -
