What, so are they gonna turn Singapore into a no-frills airline
now? BYO? DIY? MYOB?
Heck, we should have a new slogan. SINGAPORE :
SELF-SERVICE, GST 7% . Ugh!!

Basically our govt just wants to have their cake and eat it.
Things are getting from bad to worse.. the hypocritical "elite"
have been blinded by their own arrogance from their earlier
success. From squandering away our nation's riches (tax money,
helloooo) on poor and/or shady investments, to increasing the
burden on citizens' pockets (everything from gst to public
transport), to changing and introducing laws and policies suddenly
without giving Singaporeans a choice (i.e. Casino, 2-is-enough,
EM3), to telling us citizens that we should find a solution to our
own problems instead of bugging them ...
Bah... If we citizens are to come up with our own solutions, why
are we paying them million-dollar salaries - highest in the world -
while us peons down here are supposed to be content with living on
less than "peanuts"? Where do those stuffy pomps think their
salaries come from? Drop from the sky ah? If everything
Singaporeans must DIY, then what for we pay gahmen high salary, pay
taxes, ERP, GST?
The government is supposed to serve the people, not the other way
round, and if anyone up there thinks otherwise they should get a
change of career for the benefit of the MAJORITY of Singaporeans
who pay their taxes loyally, who aren't part of the "elite", who
love the country! So if law-abiding citizens go thru the
proper channels to voice real concerns for problems beyond our
means of solving, gahmen jolly well STFU and do their FRICKING
JOBS.
Pardon my ranting, but we Singaporeans have been taken for a ride
by our own government for far too long. Bullsh*t will get them far
but it won't keep them there. They'll have to face their brutal
truth sooner or later... let's make it sooner.
