TOTD: PAP's Plan From First World to Third World

Thought of the Day - PAP's Plan From First World to Third World

There is a massive outcry over PM Lee's National Day Rally over his "advice" of adjustment to the rising cost of living.

The best weapon against rising cost of living is to increase our salaries. However, despite of PAP's boast about higher GDP growth, the salaries of Singaporeans have hardly catch up with the inflationary pressure. That's the crux of the matter.

Instead of solving the problem of inadequate rise in income, or for many people, a regression of income due to underemployment and job mismatch, PM Lee and his ministers tried to downgrade our living standards from First World to Third World!

We would expect the citizens to progress in life quality as the nation progress from underdeveloped country to developed country status. But what PAP is trying to do is to persuade Singaporeans to live with Third World Standard of living while continuing to give them TOP WORLD Class Million dollar annual salaries!

The truth is, while our GDP growth might have reached "First World Per Capital Income level" but in reality, Singaporeans' purchasing powers had in fact deteriorated over the years due to constant increase in prices. The artificially boosted GDP growth did not benefit Singaporeans much but in reality, it is due to the influx of cheaper foreign labour and more MNCs parking and registering their profits here in Singapore without creating substantial well paid jobs for Singaporeans.

Thus, it is really laughable for a self serving ruling party which hold the country at ransom to demand the highest salaries paid in the world for political appointments to try and lecture Singaporeans to cut down on "expectation" and "spending" by lowering quality of life!

Giving irrelevant "5 cents 10 cents tips" of "saving money" by going to hawker centres, using public Wifi to save data usage and such, which didn't really contribute to much savings at all for a household! Lamenting on how people are owning airconditioners and handphones as the source of higher cost of living without addressing the REAL cause of high cost due to the horrendous increases in tax on water, electric tariffs and eventually GST!

Most importantly, it is really unconvincing at all to lecture Singaporeans on cutting cost of living via lowering quality of life when PAP government seems to go into a spending spree in all sorts of infrastructures from HSR, Terminal 5 (yeah, we don't even know how expensive it is going to be!) and $16 million thrown into an "international party" between two leaders which yield no substantial results! Well, $16 Million could buy us a few years supply of water from Malaysia!

It is really sickening to me and reminds me about Animal Farm. The Pigs will live a luxurious lifestyle while constantly lecture the other animals to live a frugal life, over-worked till death.

If this is the First World Government Singaporeans wanted, then they really deserve the Third World quality of Life PAP wanted them to live... yeah, no handphones, no aircon, lowest quality milk powder for your baby, eat at hawker centres not restaurants (while they could play golf and drive most expensive cars in the world), work, live and sleep in humid and hot weather... no progress in life but only work to give the Ministers Top World Pay and money to splash on expensive projects of Grandiosity to glorify themselves as "great leaders".

Yes, our forefathers had worked hard to bring Singapore from Third World to First World country, but only ended up to justify the TOP pay for PAP Ministers and now, they will bring us back from First World to Third World, while maintaining their TOP salaries in the world.

Singaporeans, are you happy now?

Goh Meng Seng

"Excuse me, may I know where you are originally from?"

Making sure that a team must think themselves as cogs in a machine. The smooth running of a


machine requires big and small cogs to work in unison. On rusty cog will lead the entire


system in failure. Therefor cogs needed oiling and new replacements from time to time in

ensuring that they give the best performance.

More stress in the education system? More parents will pressure the students to do well to get in the Independent Schools.

Not all parents will pressure their children into independent schools. They don't want their children in a cooker pressure environment.

First it may seem that teens understand their electronic worlds more than we do. We must

remember that they still require education how best viewing online.

Teens needs literacy to learn there's no point comparing themselves what they see on social media because what they are viewing may not actually be authentic.

If the big brother had let the house be demolish after he found out the will was a con-job.
the 新加坡叛徒 or " äpəˈzishən " would have " a field day " calling him dishonorable son and resign.

There will be a reason why the people are not listening. When they give speeches telling people what they should be doing, they undermine the intelligence of the people.

They slant the writings to suit which way they want the direction to follow. People pursue their selfish agenda. Humans compete with one another , not complete one another.
