What a joke from the strait times on GST survey!

They do it so well to make oppositions look so bad so much so to the extent that they seem criminals. It will do us good if we are willing not to be simple m...

walesa SG

You mean a press ranked 154th in the world for press freedom can actually be taken seriously? Laughing

shade343 SG

Because you unfaithful people are unwilling to give the opposition a chance to shine.

caleb_chiang SG

controlled media mah…

chillz88 SG

I'm a neutral.
But when I look at PAP's opposition, most of them CMI.
How do you expect majority of the people to support the opposition?
One opposition leader acted like gangster. Expect ppl to vote for them?

soul_rage SG

and our PM said he has to 'fix' the opposition

wonder who is more gangster?

BaByBoY SG

finally someone who knew something

THUMBS DOWN FOR PAP AND ST

BusSpeeder SG

and then thumbs up for WP! no SDP!

mancha SG

Opposition voters have mostly gone overseas for greener pastures, leaving their poor leaders to scrounge for loyal supporters.

Yaimster SG

Then again ... See those 'goodwill' gestures that NTUC decided to absorb the GST hike?

Trying to be sarcastic here. NTUC in fact belongs to the government after all, even though it is just a labour union. Of course they can talior the taxes to twist the people's minds and go and buy 'government products' Very Happy .

A win-win situation for the government, now go subscribe Newsweek instead, and see how they hantam Singapore Laughing

ah_kwang SG

hmm. welfare state not necessary a good thing. it will lead to over-dependency on govt handouts. see hongkong and the British Welfare system. British hospitals in the 80s were horrible. Because healthcare was free people had to queue for one day to see the doc in the hospital since everyone also want to see doc. (cant imagine what will happen to kiasu singaporeans if hospitals were to be free) see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_state

Claypot Rice SG

Wow, life's really getting better here. GST increase, transport fare hikes, SCV cable subscription hikes, politicians and the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer.

One Party, One Paper, One Sink-a-poor. Twisted Evil

You mean they dropped in rank.. AGAIN?!

Slowly and surely North Korea and Iran are frog-leaping over us in the Press Freedom index standings.. Embarassed

unclebutcher SG

hello. straits times la. its strongly influenced by our dear govt.

play_n_play SG

yeah, survery sometimes did not tell the truth... Embarassed Rolling Eyes

constancebay SG

I don't see any forums in STOMP..

royston_ang SG

Ya, i also noticed very big different between the posts in stomp and sgForum, especially regarding gov policies.

Somehow, in stomp, there are always quite a few die-hard PAP supporters giving lot of "standard answer" whenever I post any negative post there . Wonder if that guy hired by the gov or what. Rolling Eyes

kiss_my (_i_) SG

survey!

meaning u can say wat ever thing u like...

either its true or fake..

dont tell me u never kena do survey when u rushing... Laughing

mochou SG

maybe the survery is given to all the govt dept staffs, so everyone will answer "carefully", say wrong thing wait lose their job.

or better yet, there's no survery at all. ST just write what the govt wants to tell the public.

zix1 SG

Survey? To believe in their survey? Before we decide to believe in their survey, just ask yourself this - what is their purpose of this survey and what do they want to achieve by conducting this survey, are they trying to make people believe in everything they publish/say? Such survey, I will usually take it as a pinch of salt, not serious in believing the outcome of the survey.

zix1 SG

STomp belongs to Straits Times and Straits Times is under the control of the govt who make them work for them.

Croaking_Toad SG

Which issue/s that hantam the government's policy? Must read before the magazine is taken to task by the MIW by 'dirty play'.
