Well. reading comments here and there. First of all, to all my dear Singaporeans, you people keep on talking about who to vote and why we vote, and what we vote for even the elections is over. You people always demand things here and there. Demand good oppositions, demand good government, demand low tax, demand upgrading, demand government to low the price of this and that. BUT in the other way, have you all give it a thought? Did you people contribute back to the society? Not just the money you make when there is charity show or flag day. Just ask yourself, what have you all done that have really help Singapore and the mankind.

Instead of demand and asking, we should try giving and contributing.[/b]

So...you are saying most of us, the singaporeans do not contribute or did not contribute to singapore? Dare we were asking for this and that!!! Mad Most of us are working, serving our NS, keeping our places clean, helping to prevent crimes, helping the poors, sending our children to schools as part of the up bringing of the society, paying taxes taxes, taxes, taxes, GST, income tax, paying expensive public transportation fares (SBS just reported record earning despite the record hike of oil price.) isn't it these are contributions. You fool Mr. Green

(SBS just report record earning despite the record hike of oil price.) Let me ask you. If the record earning of SBS is being justified as a public transport service? Is the record earnings of PowerGrid and PUB justifyable?

Tell me. By individual singaporean or personal, who own the most shares in Temasek holdings?

Who got the tremendous biggest part of the cake? Commoners, singaporeans?

They rewarded themselves tremendous, ridiculously, beautifully and handsomely in terms of perks, salaries, dividends, bonuses, enjoy free tax, enjoy their life like royal families; where all of them so called the indispensible ministers and the high ranking elites have no feel of the ground and the agony of people with income of $2000.00 a month to support their children's education, daily expenses, food and laundry, haircut, medical, tuitions, outings, garments, toiletories and the parent's personal expenses, utilities bills, expensive conservancy fees and all kinds farks in livelihood of singapore.

Can you explain? Mad

I agree with Lowclassman...
well, I need not advertise what I have contributed back to the society,
but I am very much involved with the society work,
and hence I am very much for the idea of a multi-party representation in the parliament, to better reflects views from all walks of life.
I do understand the writer's point of asking how much we have done for the society, well...there are indeed many who only spend time at home, online... etc... Singapore is our home indeed, and we should not escape the responsibility in keeping the island clean and safe, and making it a better society and economy... so... I think we also deserve a larger pie of the national income hor??? Rolling Eyes

To Mr Low Class Man. Please read and mind your word. First of all in my post I did not mention that ( you are saying most of us, the singaporeans do not contribute or did not contribute to singapore? ) I never say most singaporeans never contribute to Singapore. Yes, I agree that you may have done your contribution like what you have mentioned above, but that does not apply to all. And what i have post previously I never said anything in my words that i am applying to every singaporean. If you blame government for all these taxes and increase of living expenses here and there, if you are not happy with it, you can migrate to other country. I agree we must have opposition in Singapore, but that dosent mean we can blame the government for these and that. If you think you can do better, go and try to be a gorvernment in Singapore and try to build Singapore since 1965 till now 2006 without increase of taxes and living expenses ok. By the way what you mean by ( You fool Mr. Green ). I am not one, but I think you might be.

What are trying to argue now???!!! You said:I never say most singaporeans never contribute to Singapore. Reading from the context of your posting; you had meant it for most singaporeans!!! Don't argue for the sake of arguement. Please admit your fault...don't be like someone whom never admit their fault and yet keep on threaten to sue people. I repeat , you are a fool.

Good post, Lowclassman.

Check out my new blog.

I see... so now you're either a Stayer who sings praises to the government or otherwise you're better off being a Quitter. I don't know about the PAP camp, but us non-PAP people don't run away from problems, so get used to it.

And on the topic, is this some kind of self-help inspiration message or a deeper political discourse? If its an attempt at the latter, I think you should make a distinction between people making selfish demands and people voting for a system of governance. In any case, wouldn't you agree that it's the people who voted for upgrading etc who fall into the former category?

kaobeikaobu SG

given what u have written, Furinax, I think u might need a little help from the CEO of Singtell, who seems to have 3 percent of the $4billion net profit for his TREMENDOUS contributions, to get yourself a good lawyer now.

How about you, what have you done?

Medicated Oil SG

What the general Singaporeans have done for the last 10 years is to be the most obedient people in the whole world in fattening the reserves and some one assets, getting miserable salary and allowing foreign talent in getting all the jobs, sponsoring oversea foreign talent huge sum of money and medals money but seeing local sport authority refusing to invest on the local female gym team to go asian games.

What the singaporeans have done is already admirable to the extent that we have become mockery of other nations.

We see money invested to laying beautiful tiles on the corridor and fancy garden instead of the ever increasing number of old people digging aluminium cans from the dustbin.

I guessed I have to start getting a taxi and cleaner training certificate as what the PM have stated in his national rally speech last year.

It is kind of irony that the people can laugh when the PM quoted the example of the cleaner as that is their eventual destiny if they cannot repay the life-long debts that they are presenting serving.

Singaporeans - Life-Long Debters and Slaves.

Medicated Oil SG

The Ruling Party was so rich in having their victory party over Thailand.

The 100 grassroot leaders was invited overto re-think how to "win" more votes.

Who is footing for the bill on this "victory" trip ???

Pulau Tekong or Sentosa is good enough.

Do they need to hide away to Thailand ???

This is how the tax payers money have been utilised.

So much for no money in helping the poor and the sick.

I take it that you are now retracting your initial post?

If you can't defend your own stand, then you shouldn't be posting it in the first place. No point setting up a fort which is open to attack on all fronts.

If you can't stand your ground after putting forward your arguments, then your credibility will be in shambles, and it can't be resurrected by giving a blunt 'Nothing to say'.

Reply to the counterarguments levelled at you, and reply convincingly. 'Hit and run' is not a good tactic here.

Fail to do so, and I will propose turning this thread into an opportunity to do +1.
