Gap between Singaporeans and the government: Hope and Fear - the GST balancing act

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?

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”.

The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting

After 60 years, after 3 failed political imaginations, the PAP is deteriorating...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By inserting a single c
