Yeah right, it cost billions to feed Dr Chee Soon Juan in jail, stupid ass-kid.
maybe not billions, but unnecessarily large amounts from his court cases and jail terms are being paid tax payers. while the pap did mention the gst increase would go towards the needy this wasn't what i had expected.

huh are you an idiot or what? Comparing the amount Dr Chee Soon Juan costs the people (if any, if unjustified) eating jail food and the billions of state reserves the old despot lost putting cronies and relatives in charge AND setting up a system where state organs can be used by despots for personal vendettas, persecuting others to cling on to power so as to enable him to take massive amounts of public funds.

its unlikely for him to be paying any fees he owns the state, and he's definately chalked up a lot of those plus his usual habit seems to be "come lah 7 more days i scared you ah?!"
and this amount of money spent no matter how big or small is unnecessary, comparing it to a bigger amount doesn't make it better. its just the kettle calling the pot black.
bottomline is he doesn't have to be there.

I certainly do not agree with the statment that she made. Simply because it would imply that Singaporeans who have felt no love for the country left and took up Citizenship with another country are all weak? And for those who stayed on in Singapore and not doing very well are weak too!!
As I have said before, Singaporeans are treated worse off than an animal, "Eat less than a pig, work more than a bull/cow". "You can be dead but no sick in Singapore".
Why should anyone who is able to escape this kind of treatment stay on? I do not belive that there is any value of any kind in holding a Singaporean Citizenship other than convience of the passport.
In the recent movie by Jack Neo "Money No Enough 2" it clearly demostrates how sad it is for the children to be wishing that their mum leaves the world sooner as she is a fianancial burden on them.
It is simply not good enough that the Government says that we cannot afford a decent health care system. What are they there for? With all their brilliant minds and talents? To suck more money out of us???
Most Singaporeans couples work two to three jobs between them and as such the children gets less attention, there is less family time. Whose fault is it when the children gets into trouble with the law? We were told about family values by our "Singapore God" and we are different to the Western society, are we?? We are conservative etc, this implied that Western society are not???This is ignorance on the part of the ruling party.
Unable to insult public servant?Why not?? I mean we pay them right? If I keep a dog, I could at least call it a fucking bitch right? Get this straight, why can't I call any of our so called talented leaders a fuck wit? Is it because of our so called oriental background about emperors and kings and subjects?

Wait... where you get this statistic from?
Singapore is not that bad because Singapore's running based on Social Democracy.
The good point is our government is the major shareholder of all major companies like telecommunication, transport, energy in Singapore. Private sector do not fully own or monopolised this sectors. Hence, the rich is not that rich and the poor is not that poor as compared to those countries that practice full democracy.
The bad point is that we heavily depend on our government. If it falls, we falls. That is the only pillar we have. Hence, based on this structure, it is important to have strong, decent and able government.

I don't think that people who left Singapore to work/stay in overseas would have meant that they are weak. Every society has a certain theme and trend which may not be necessary suitable for each and everyone of us.
I don't know how did your relative come up with that idea. But just ignore her lah. I believe many of us would have met a handful of irritating people in our lives too.
yes, ignore her and many other irritating people too. constant calling for Senior Lee's death and promotion of Dr. Chee's cause won't give us better pay, higher position, bigger car, better school or medical benefits.
instead, stop living the dream that singapore will be a better place; stand up, wipe the dust of your buttoms and work towards that dream. sitting there won't make a difference.

This is a weakness. We should correct it.

...that must change and the the power and initiative come back to the people so that like in Thailand and Japan, the government can be non-existing... these despots have already shown how stupid they can be losing billions supporting foreign banks, taking massive amounts of public money for their own pockets.... etc....
So many people fed up and migrate.
They see PAP as hopeless.
We must correct the situation.
Surviving is difficult.Added burden by the sudden infestation of FT.
I saw the finance minister on TV give bullshit on FT problem.
Feel like spitting in his fucking face.
if " survival of the fittest" is of any truth, maybe we are tracking back in times to " third reich" where those deem weak are terminated.
i certainly feel sad, if that is what singaporeans deem is the way of survival.
i only thought of that when i was in NS. where only the fittest get $200.
This KIASU metality is fueld by no other than Mr LKY.He loved to emphasis that when Singapore is an idependent state.We will not survive.Human are our only resources.That's where we work our asses off to give them the obscene amount of salary.
agreed that pap got no talent after Lee but... chee and his party is worst = = (firstly he take on the goverment like a bull) you yong wu mo = = I dun wan a leader who take on something without a well plotted plan... secondly at times he behave like an insane crackhead = = I dun wan a mad leader~!!! i rather i work harder like a dog now then to end up without a job.. give me obama !!!
Change we need.

All these years of using mass media to instill the kiasu kiasee mentality in us, so we won't go and rebel against him.
That bastard.
Better not rock the boat. We are busy working to pay for house, car...

Rock what boat?
The boat = The unknown
wait til we hav better quality leaders la its not he time now... some countries took generations for it to happen lor so those whose looking for overnight result can jus dream on...
true... why fix something when it's not broken... yes, some may say it's cracked but still, it is not broken... now change government, tomorrow we see the collapse of Singapore how? my brand new Honda become scrap metal, got job become jobless, got money but no value, later buy a sack of rice cost S$1,000...
rebel got use meh? later end up like Indonesia, worthless... protesting will get more money meh? look at Thailand... not here not there. go on strike? as if will save us from financial recession.
now it's not the time to fight among ourselves... be it in a company, government or country. we are having a crisis and according to Sun Zi's "art of war" - it is unwise to change general or leader during a war or crisis.
That's right. Only I can take care of my job and family. I don't expect any one else to take care of me.
