attributed to high density crowding .
It will continue rising as the population increases.
The ''High Density Crowing'' was due to
the decision from this Ruling Party that formed The Government for
the last 50 years; and if group decision is the norm, then the
entire Cabinet is to be blamed for creating an environment that
encourages mosquito breeding.
The Talented in the Government create and construct buildings that
result in easy mosquito breeding, and expect the low wage
Singaporeans to keep the environment free from mosquito breeding -
OR face severe penalties of a hefty fine or jail or both (no
concern if one is a low waged earner).
Such is the talent we have in this Government - build HDB homes in
such high density that encourages mosquito breeding. The Government
will then entrap the hapless citizens to buy these HDB homes - as
urban renewable programs will require the relocation of the entire
population into New Towns - (shades of the Emergency Period when
entire rural populations were relocated into camps called New
Villages). With the Citizens occupying these new homes, the
Citizens are suddenly required to maintain the faulty housing
designs, and the penalties imposed for mosquito breeding will
become anotherr source of revenue for the government - if the
faulty designs are not maintained and cause mosquitoes to
breed.
This is a no-win situation for Singaporeans - until the next
elections, if Singaporeans still remember the events of 2007.
