1. Bite the bullet, eat the bitter pill, save lots of money in
the treasury for a "rainy" day and maybe another GST increase to a
target of 10% to help even more poor people
2. The need to live on high prices and make fee hikes a
way of the Singapore life because we are cheaper than the most
expensive country in the world
3. How the party has ruled Singapore well and what glorious past
and that we should be thankful for what we have and maybe suggest a
salary increase of about another 88% to make it a lucky number for
all the elites running the country.
4. CPF draw down age increase to maybe 70. People now are going
to live way into their 100 and therefore, the sum lock down by CPF
will be now maybe 100 000 just in case we get sick and the country
needd to take care of us. The if the person die before 100, the sum
of money left will be automatically lost in the system and the next
of kin will get it back perhaps when they are about 95, that is if
they file about 50 forms per year.
5. Increase baby bonus but always support employers and leave
legal loop holes for the employers to utilize so that the system
will always be "neutral" to the employer when they fire the
employee if they decide to have kids.
6. Live with less money and salary and explain this is the
global trend. Explain why the government does not provide any
subsidy for anything and yet need to keep increasing fees, build
more ERP, increase taxes, tariffs and etc. Price increase, global
downturn, its the people problem to help each other. During good
economies, it is the government turn to collect extra from the
people.
7. Tell us about upgrading projects for new estate to look like
condos and cost more than condos and we have to live with it ever
smaller pigeon holes. But then leave out the details about the
construction projects that were halted cause of the excessive
spending. Therefore, the need to collect more money from us
therefore, housing cost will keep increasing even when its meant to
be public housing.
8. IR and whatever "new improved ideas" is going to change
Singapore and make Singapore fantastic and enrich us elites in
Singapore and create more low end jobs for the locals to work in
service of FT who will be taking over the white collared jobs and
high level posts. Locals are too dumb and stupid to take up these
posts except all those very rich and smart elites who pay
themselves 600K/month and claim their pay is low. The elites will
also be above the law and get tiny slaps on the wrist if they break
any law.
I hear the same speech every year, just said differently. Stop
at luck 8. Anymore to add???
