Gap between Singaporeans and the government:
Hope and Fear - the GST balancing act
‘Hope’ means the PAP government is confident the GST increase will not affect the livelihood of Singaporeans. The government is also confident people should not fear the increase.
While Singaporeans, especially the middle class, the poor, weak and sick people are thinking of more ‘fear’ over ‘hope’ unless they are betting a 4D, Big Sweep or going to a casino. It is a chance! There is hope! And no fear of losing!
The PAP calculates the GST increase like a lottery and acts like a casino owner. All means are in their hands, even if it results in inflation or affects the economy and the people, the PAP is still the winner. So, there is no fear and only hope for a better future.
People now have less trust, and less confidence the 4G leadership will deliver good results for Singapore. Therefore, ‘fear over hope’ is the first reaction. Furthermore, with the increasing gap between the rich and the poor in Singapore, how can you not worry?
