At Teck Ghee National Conversation:

Chairing the Teck Ghee National Conversation Panel at one meeting, the people were asked to take part in NC in this dialogue:- Chair: what do you think government should do to take us one step ahead? People: clothes, food, housing and transportation. Chair: Government has provided all of these. People: Money not enough. Chair: we are a first world country and our people are enjoying the world's highest living standard. People: Money not enough. Chair: Why money not enough? People: After paying for clothes, and food, we have not enough to pay for housing and transportation. Chair: whose fault? People: Ask Khaw Boon Wan and Lui Tuck Yew lah. Chair: Okay I know what you mean. People: Sir, you do not know, these two make all the monies for HC who lost them on UBS, and ............................... We have heard enough that we need leadership and meritocracy to build a uniquely Singapore nation. However, in real life what do we see ? Perpetually rising costs of living with taxing, privatizing of public services and profiteering non-stop with the latest statement from minister Lui Tuck Yew that there will be further MRT fare increases to reflect the rising wages of foreign train drivers, Now PM Lee has in his national conversation informed us the citizens that ageing population is a great challenge and we have got to build more facilities etc to cater to such ageing population. Again very nice leadership speech!! Is PM Lee going to tell us that by building such ageing population facilities he won't be screwing us citizens up once again with all sorts of fee and cost increases like minister Lui is hinting. PM Lee has not yet done anything solid to help lower the perpetually rising costs of living based on the current taxing, privatizing and profiteering system of governing. How could we trust him anymore if such speeches? ................................ MPs are elected to represent the people in Aljunied. Why should Aljunied people be treated as people who can be bullied by having their financial/managerial system be withdrawn to leave them in a lurch to serve the glee of a rogue government? ............................. PAP's governing philosophy from day one is legalistic wrangling of laws and regulations as everything boils down to use of legal power to get what it wants even in pushing through their own million-dollar salaries against the wishes of the people. Winner takes all is their mental paradigm. Its last line of defence is "vote me out if you can" - no softie approach is even in their psyche. Tell me I am dead wrong in describing the Pappies' legalistic psyche.
