I tried in the past to be patriotic since I have informed that
there will be more good years. I now realiesed I was badly
misled.
Yes, Singapore has changed beyond recognition.
Yes,we have better housings and drive bigger cars etc...
But ultimately what matters most to any Singaporean is
have we upgraded ourselves financially in tandem with the national
GDP?
I dont think so!
Most of us are back to square one, courtesy of NTUC's wage
restraints because of one crisis or another.
By right, we all should be earning big money comparative to our
current GDP. We arent.
So only now there is general realisation the income gap between
rich and commoners have grown to such a huge gap, there is no way,
at current pace of salary increase, this gap will ever get
smaller.
Pity those loyal citizens who have been supporting PAP all these
years - and yet not really given a fairer share of the nation's
wealth.
I have also come to accept this fact that the PAP Government never
intended to enrich the entire population relative to the nation's
enormous wealth.
So, what should I do - blame the old leaders for not taking care of
our welfare?
No, I cant do that. I have only myself to blame for being a blind
supporter.
"I have given up on Singaporeans long time ago!"
So please dont expect too much in here.
