The recent move by the Ministry of Education to give an additional ballot to Singapore citizens in application for primary school places has won it much publ...

first, it was announced that the distinction between singapore citizens and foreigners will be clearer over time, so there is always a privilege in being a citizen.

then, a policy to make sure foreign service sector employees attain a certain standard of english proficiency, so singaporeans won't be wondering why the person who doesn't know english is snatching all our jobs.

now, double ballots for citizens at popular primary schools, vs 1 for PR.

keep it up and i'll consider voting for PAP.

In your dreams maybe.

In your dreams maybe.

these are not jokes. real policies. the pri sch one just came out.

HeartHunter SG

I sincerely think it will happen, especially if we does mass demostration, which would probably only happen when we have a catastrophic event (mass starvation cause by influx of FT?)

Sincerely by voting for PAP, you are only giving them (along with statistics to be shown to public) the illusion that YOU NEED PAP, which imo, is not likely.

This is the part that is in error in my opinion.

"still many good years to come and good things to happen".

miw said 2, you cannot said 1 what

ztreyier SG

"still many good years to come and good things to happen".

They lied to us.

Stevenson101 SG

Just releasing the employment numbers of PR and citizens should be a good way to get things rolling heh.

HeartHunter SG

I never heard them promising anything? Did they? Where are the evidences? xD

(end sarcasm)

I assume all government projections are all 'projections', merely there to offset future risks in population behaviour, you wouldn't want your population to worry "too much about their futures right?"

.... maybe I just don't trust sg govt in general, they control too much information. And we people mostly have short term memory.

John Penn SG

They lied to us.

66.6 % prefer to trust them, choose to believe them

more to come

a lot of things, time will tell

ztreyier SG

66.6 % trusted them what

I think majority of voting population of Singapore never voted for PAP. Too many walkovers. Politics in Singapore is quite a charde, 5 years hold one charade elections, then implement rubbish policies that no one supports, 5 years later hold another charade elections. Cycle repeats. This is what they call "democracy".

We have to end this endless cycle of charades.

So, you mean Singaporeans will no longer have to compete with foreigners for jobs by accepting low, low pay ?
