Singaporeans are not afraid of the government , if we're afraid,
wouldn't we be pissing our pants or holding our breath when
Parliamentary session is televised during our night time TV
schedules?
If we're afraid, wouldn't there be substantial votes for PAP
MP's during the last GE to throw opposition members off
balance?
Come on, I feel our government has done an excellent job in
ensuring our path is littered with few garbage ( eg . SARS crisis,
9/11 and Iraq War ). In comparison to other countries where
political problem arises every few months, there's a 0.001 % chance
of that occurring in Singapore. when was the last time a
political crises with a magnitude comparable to that during the
1960's occurred (the MCP vs PAP)? Political problems
inevitably leads to economic problems, they're just like siamese
twins.
Maybe we can refer to it as a blessing in disguise, however I
feel that the recent price hikes is unavoidable. With rising global
food prices, which government would be willing to subsidise the
increase in costs? in the end, even if they do, policies will be
brought forward to increase GST ( which haven't happen to us ever
since the earliest rise in food prices were announced )
One of the solutions to the problem can be, the
government should encourage everyone to donate food
items to the poor, when they are the ones severely affected by the
rise in rising prices.
Another blind lackey on board.
