Why is there so much dislike towards PAP?

Actualy Singapore is a welfare state. Singapore helps those who help themselves. You want to be rich, help yourself to be rich, the goverment will help you....

Fcukpap SG

the fundamentals have gone wrong with too much academic and ivory towered misperceptions....

its only a matter of time...they would be overthrown

winsomeea SG

Let me tell you something honestly .

People who grew up poor like me will never have children unless we are rich, at least earning $5000 a month, have a house.

i don't wanr my child to feel as messed up and upset as me

Yeah, right, Summer. Give me a five!

What is being poor in singapore?

Being poor is watching ur grades go down thanks to the school pushing newbie teachers into the class, because ur parent can't afford tution for you.

Being poor is hoping that the bookstore would be empthy so that you could use the ntuc back to school voucher without anyone spotting you.

Being poor is being part of the family when everyone knows it's okay to pick on.

Being poor is knowing the exact price of everything.

Being poor is never going to the movies.

Being poor is hoping you won't grow any taller or bigger because you have no money to buy new clothes.

Being poor is having hand down clothes.

I also feel poor when you put it in that manner, haha. Though you will hate me for this, but our poor and other countries poor is a huge gap. Nevertheless, no one likes being poor, no matter how it is defined.

I have to say that it is not schools who push newbie teachers to us, but MOE who decides on the distribution of teachers. I know several teachers who said that NIE has a strict interview when they evaluate potential teachers. How true is that, I leave it to you guys to decide.

How is your life horrible just thanks to their immigrant policy?

As much as I believe in the potential of people, there is also the need for people to grow at their own pace. Which similars to the education system now. They can "upgrade" to a better school/stream if they seem to be late bloomers. But yes, I also see faults in the education system but the fundamentals still make sense to me.

Haha no air to breathe in crowded train, that one the government also has its own limits. Ultimately SMRT is still a private company though Temasek Holdings has shares in it.

becos the immigrants push down the salary of my father to $3/hour, 2 children to feed, one in jc one in secondary, how to survive?

even though i am in express now, i am struggling, i have a secret wish to go NA, but ny relatives will look down on me.

now, i am worrying if i can pay for my poly tution fee, and i want go unni, but scared no money.

Likewise. It's basic morals to want to provide your child with a comfortable household without sticky financial issues coming into play.

So I never once blamed SG girls from being materialistic. I can only work harder if I want a good wife right. They don't drop from the sky or through lottery.

Don;t talk so much crap la, just admit you are here to oppose people who voice out on whatever reality that PAP has created to make life not better for the people. Damn it!

Summer hill SG

the other country poor die, just die like that easily, die in singapore very hard.

I am able to understand your feelings now. I apologise for any insensitive comments said earlier if I did.

Have you tried applying for the financial aid scheme? It really helps in lightening the expenses.

Also, don't be afraid to exploit other teachers(who don't teach you) to guide you. Some honeyed words like "I heard you were really good" never fails for me. Haha. (Bo bian always get lousy teachers in the past.)

You must also accept my POV ya.

winsomeea SG

You must also accept my POV ya.

Truth is truth, nothing can hide it.

Lokey SG

Let me put it clear.

- There is some displease with the current policy. But it is never to the extend, like libya now.

- We must agree that things are not going well around the world in recent years. However, it is never as bad as US or europe.

- There is a gap with the rich and poor. But, it is considered relatively narrow, compared to India and China.

- Our goverment is xxx. But it is never as bad as Malaysia and Indonesia.

- There is always some flaws with the policies. And adjustments have been made.

- People put up their voices.They want to be heard. After all, this is our homeland. This is the place we live in and belong. We choose how we want to live. We just want to be happy.

One thing that is unclear is, why our country is so small. And yet the salaries are so high for some1. If FTs are so good, we should also import politicians and paid them for half of the price! Seriously, SG is lacking of new leaders to take over the job.

Veggie Bao SG

Because of.......the rich-poor gap.......rising cost of living.......expensive housing price.......lack of social mobility......etc and so on......

That is why the ones who oppose PAP the most is the lower socio-economic class

(according to LKY)

The ones who support PAP the most is the upper middle class.

So we can see the real reason is socio-economic and maybe even classism.

Weychin SG

The dislike for for PAP is genuine, for different reasons. Angry for being unable to effectively articulate against the debilitating policies against their favor. Angry for being invisible and trivialized despite so much unhappiness! Angry that their contented fellow Singaporeans who are unable to empathize with their predicament! Hungry for change and not getting it. Mostly, being forced to buy a “value added”product that has past it’s best before date!

wisefool83 SG

I can share some of my observation. A long time ago, we had a large number of conformist: people who would support anything that the government says. So even when the government arrests people arbitrary without trial or deny guys with long hair from entering the country, the people still supports them.

Somewhere between the last 10 - 15 years, we have a lot of people converting into anti-conformist: people who would oppose anything that the government says. So even when the government policies are not very different from what the oppositions are proposing, the people still opposes them.

In short: Same shit, different camp.

Weychin SG

I beg to differ, these people clamoured to heard, and hopefully engaged intelliglibly, and not dumbed down. In many ways, we as a nation is still immature, inheriting an adversarial style politics. Everybody just want to better the lives of themselves and loved ones, and be happy. Some will hold the government to higher expectations than others! I don’t believe any ranters can make a full time profession out of ranting. Ha

ahtansh SG

Many of the MPs and Past Ministers are too snobbish, they have lost touch with the common people. Maybe that is a problem when they got too comfortable!

Summer hill SG

TS, the reason why people literally straved to death in India is becos of their corrupted govt.

Summer hill SG

I am able to understand your feelings now. I apologise for any insensitive comments said earlier if I did.yo
