Who are those that have been elected into Public Office and were
supposed to IMPROVE our lives and have loudly claimed that they are
deserving of the MILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL SALARY ?
Fact is, they did improve our lives.
And they do deserve the rewards for doing a good job.
Only a 'goblok' with a mind of a
smoked Salman will believe that our lives have improved after two
dibillating economic meltdown.
They are certainly doing a good job milking the cash out of our CPF
and Bank Accounts - and paying themselves the MILLION DOLLAR ANNUAL
SALARY by getting a Parliament dominated by their own Party Members
to legislate this payment instead of referring this in a Refendum
for SINGAPOREANS to vote.
After all - it is the SINGAPORE CITIZENS'
money.
Having sucked the monies from the Singapore Citizens through a
variety of direct and indirect taxes - and accumulating surplus
year-after-year - what has the Government done to help lessen the
burden of LIVING IN SINGAPORE ?
Try living in US and Canada and see how the govts there suck
your money.
At least in the US and Canada, there
is GENUINE Social and Medical Support Schemes to help those who
have contributed to the system - which also benefit those who did
not. There is a well established SOCIAL SECURITY
NET that is non-existent in Singapore - despite the money
having been sucked into the treasuries of the Ministry of Finance,
GIC and Temasek Holdings.
What have we in Singapore despite the monies being sucked out of
Singaporeans ? We have a Medical System that is supposed to be
subsidised but will still require any Singaporean to empty their
bank account to pay CASH for any hospitalization or serious medical
attention - as the Medisave and Medicare Accounts are allowed
limited payout and CASH is still required.
Is there any TRANSPARENCY by a TRULY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIVE BODY
to check if those medical fees are overly inflated ? 
For the sake of members of any investigative body - who will
probably be dependent on their economic wellbeing from this
Government - can we depend on any investigative body that is not
compliant to the desired outcome of the Government of such an
investigation? 
They boast and make such loud hoopla publicity each time they
returned A BILLION DOLLAR to the Citizen's account - which petered
out in any impact as the BILLION DOLLAR is distributed as a ONE
TIME PAYMENT amounting to a few HUNDRED DOLLARS when paid out to at
least TWO MILLION WORKING SINGAPOREANS.
Fact is, the gave more than a billion to our citizens but you
never heard of it.
Yes, the BILLION DOLLAR PAID
OUT in your own self-delusive mind 
Yet they will pay $600 MILLION into an Endowment Fund that benefit
only a few thousand P&O retirees; pay $10 BILLION and spend
Millions more in a fight to own P&O; pay $3 BILLION to the
family of the PM of Thailand to purchase a stake in their family
owned conglomerate; pay $10 BILLION to own a small stake in some
small banks in Communist China; pay nearly US$1 BILLION to take
over a high rise Office Block in downtown Seoul - South
Korea.
Not a few thousand but tens of thousands.
Thats an agreement between P&O and their employees. We need to
honour that.
And I don't see how you can complain about P&O pensions when
you want more welfare for yourself.
Yes, only a 'goblok' can mix up
$660MILLION as 'tens of thousand' - to the P&O Employees
fund.
Yes, we need to honor that - but is this the issue ?
If Temasek can pay $660MILLION into the Endowment Fund for those
P&O workers - which probably number 1 OR 2 THOUSAND; is this
not a BIGGER CAKE that is to be shared by these few Foreigners -
compared to the $ONE BILLION to be shared by approximately TWO
MILLION WORKING SINGAPOREANS ?
Can you see anything at all in the fudging mind of a smoked Salman
?
If you keep believing that you are running in circles, can you see
at all ?

All these monies used in the overseas financial adventures are
sucked from the Singapore Citizens from the annual surplus of the
sweat, blood and tears from the daily grind of toiling in
Singapore.
People toil all over the world, often even more than
Singaporeans, and we pay only so little personal tax compared to
them. [/b]
Another "no brainer, one-liner"
How shall we addressed the smoked mind of a Salman that can believe
"we pay only so little personal tax compared to them" ?
What about the INDIRECT TAXES that is paid daily ?
Despite the high annual surplus collected by the Ministry of
Finance that is sucked from the pockets of Singaporeans on a DAILY
BASIS, our Income Tax is still amongst the highest in the First
World - which also returned to the Citizens a Social, Health and
Medical Support Net that is NON-EXISTENT in
Singapore.
Can we believe you that you have been able to "collect can food,
throw bulk rubbish, tuition for kids and help them apply for
grants" - when you cannot even have the heart to employ those older
folks who have been retrenched, and the needy who seek some
employment ?
I did employ them, but they didn't play their part, just like
you.
Are you capable of employing anyone,
when someone is employing you ?
With a mind that is practised in the Art of Fudging is it any
surprise that you are as insecure as those in Public Office - by
killing any likely threat that can challenge your position ?
Thanks for giving us the opportunity of rubbing and exposing the
faults of the Government a.k.a the Ruling Political Party - each
and every time you lay yourself uselessly in their
defense.
Thansk for allowing me to expose you whiners for what you are,
doing nothing for the poor.
Those who are NOT insecure will
welcome critical reviews, it is those who have self-doubt and
incapable of critical reviews that will respond negatively to such
views.
Perhaps as a Salman you belong to the lower breed despite your
useless effort to climb out of the mud hole that salmans and
salamanders are found ?
Animals
are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no
criticisms.
