Why did they vote BG Yeo out?

It is rather telling that you are incapable of providing even so much as a cogent argument to justify your statement.Firstly, I have already made an argument...

Rednano SG

You are not from Aljunied.

That much is clear.

WP did took over Aljunied GRC.

this much is even clearer.

mancha SG

Don't worry about them, they can look for alternative livelyhood.

SBS2601D SG

WP did took over Aljunied GRC.

this much is even clearer.

Yeah.

The place has become filthy, the bus interchange has become more dusty, the construction has mysteriously halted, and the painting that was promised did not materialise.

Rednano SG

Yeah.

The place has become filthy, the bus interchange has become more dusty, the construction has mysteriously halted, and the painting that was promised did not materialise.

in that case, you should channel your complaints feedback on estate/ precinct to the town council.

Bedok bus interchange is already using the new temporary site presently.

if constructions slow at sites, it's mainly the construction companies facing problems such as material delays, cash flow...etc.

then tell me if it's raining in Aljunied GRC, you also blame the town council?

if you think the PAP wards are not facing the same problems, then you are mistaken.

SBS2601D SG

yes of course

isn't that how you guys play the blame game just like those politicians?

Rednano SG

yes of course

isn't that how you guys play the blame game just like those politicians?

some things might be inherited by the previous town council.
e.g. previous town council staff choose to act blur keep quiet over the current/ pending matters during handing-over-taking-over period.

for cleaniness, almost all the town councils of the PAP and WP wards in fact outsourcing the cleaning and maintenance works to contractors to keep the estates/ precincts clean.

SBS2601D SG

HG Int is collapsing, the grass in the field is getting unkempt and so many people are jaywalking since WP took over.

How?

Rednano SG

HG Int is collapsing, the grass in the field is getting unkempt and so many people are jaywalking since WP took over.

How?

please be careful with the incorrect usage of your words.

Hougang Interchange at Kovan is doing just fine.
went there to eat at the hawker centre many times recently, no problem at all.

the grasscutters are engaged by NEA/ Nparks.

spot checking jaywalkers are checked by Traffic Police.

please look at things/ situations in perspective.
not everything is managed by the town councils squarely alone because there are many public/ government agencies governing things/ places that are under their purviews.

SBS2601D SG

Oh my...I might go to jail for sarcasm leveled at those who claim to understand the ground at Aljunied-Hougang Town Council well?

Hougang Int at Kovan?

Granted, there was an interchange there. WAS

*chortles*

Rednano SG

then you think you know the ground situations in PAP wards taken care of by their town councils well as well?

SBS2601D SG

I dont claim to know.

Why should I?

Rednano SG

I dont claim to know.

Why should I?

because, assuming you are living in Aljunied GRC now, what you are experiencing based on your complaints are in fact experienced by most of us living in PAP wards as well...

i have something to point out in your lovers' spat...

the MIW have a history of trying to scuttle whatever the opposition tries to do to improve their ward.. point in case - see what happened to Potong Pasir in the past.. frankly, CST did an amazing job with the place considering the kinds of crap he had to go through... and he documented all of it nicely for all to see..

so.. yes, the place may be going to shit.. yes the bus interchange is falling apart.. yes and all that.. but think about the filthy tricks pulled by the MIW like gerrymandering and wilful neglect.. these things do eat away at the hearts of those who look at the surface only...

again i say, live by the sword, die by it too...

and i repeat myself too much but all politicians are scumbags.. never give them a chance to forget that they are there to serve the people, not the other way around.. no matter the douchebags are in power or in the opposition..

Rednano SG

i have something to point out in your lovers' spat...

again i say, live by the sword, die by it too...

so, in your view, who are looking at the surface?

SBS2601D SG

Let's put it in perspective then.

BG Yeo is no saint.

People forget the Jack Neo saga for one..

As for the dirty places I was "ranting" about, the locals have only themselves to blame. It wouldn't matter if its WP or PAP if the a$$-hole who owns the dog at my place decides to let the dog sh*t on the friggin path and not clean up every single day.

the Bear SG

so, in your view, who are looking at the surface?

lots of people..

they want things and they want it now.. but forget the cost to them in the future...

sort of like the new casinos gave us a GDP boost which resulted in the MIW giving themselves a nice bonus but the people will be paying for that in terms of more loansharking, more crime, more bankruptcy...

and i do know what it is like being kicked around by their gerrymandering... i was from a single ward constituency surrounded by places like Clementi, West Coast, Bukit Batok, Jurong East and somehow my constituency was Bukit Timah..

then it got absorbed into the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC.. then now we got redrawn into the West Coast GRC..

all within 3 elections..

we're like the red-headed stepchild to be kicked around...

so... basically, look to what the politicians you elected can do for the people.. and i don't mean just providing amenities.. those things can be done by anybody as long as they have a good and effective civil service to make it happen... what i mean is for the politicians elected to lead the country towards a goal which is more than just the unrelenting pursuit of material gain at all costs..

that will ultimately cost the country its soul...

Itedino SG

For me. I want to vote RamBooTan to be our president. He is also a tan. At least can make us happy all the time. hahahahaa.

charlize SG

Don't worry about them, they can look for alternative livelyhood.

What are they cooking there?

βέτά SG

Cordon Bleu fried kway teow with lots of hums.

这里，我们不禁想起了孟子见梁惠王时“上下交争利而国危矣”（《孟子·梁惠王上》）的警告。孟子见梁惠王，王曰：“叟！不远千里而来，亦将有以利吾国乎？”孟子对曰：“王！何必曰利？亦有仁义而已矣。王曰‘何以利吾国？’大夫曰‘何以利吾家？’士庶人曰‘何以利吾身？’上下交争利而国危矣。万乘之国，弑其君者，必千乘之家；千乘之国，弑其君者，必百乘之家。万取千焉，千取百焉，不为不多矣。苟为后义而先利，不夺不餍。未有仁而遗其亲者也，未有义而　后其　君者也。王亦曰仁义而已矣，何必曰利？”孟子进见梁惠王。惠王说：“老先生，您不以千里为远到来，将有利于我国吗？”孟子答道：“大王，何必说利呢？仅有仁义就够了。大王关心‘如何使我国有利’，大夫关注‘如何使我家有利’，士人平民则看重‘如何使我自己有利’，上上下下相互争利，国家就危险了。万乘之国，弑其　国　君的，必定是有千乘车的大夫；千乘之国，弑其　国　君的，必定是有百乘车的大夫。万乘之国大夫就据有千乘车，千乘之国大夫就据有百乘车这样的事，不算不多呀！如果把义置后而争利在先，不争利是不满足的。没有讲仁而弃其亲的，没有讲义以君为后的。大王仅讲仁义就行了，何必谈利呢？以利为利，即以利为目标，那么上下交争利，国危矣！以义为利，即以义为目标，方为长治久安之道。
