'I just wanted there to be a
walkover and PAP to come back to power. Now, I might have to go and
vote, it's very 'leceh' (troublesome).' - Hendry Han,
52.
As the election draws nearer, a number of Singaporeans are
lamenting the fact they will have to vote for their MPs....they are
probably not going to get them through effortless means like
walkover. How troublesome, many say.
Like peasant Hendry Han, I wished PAP to remain in power and enjoy
the good life that it has always been all these years.
Instead of telling us nothing but good news like the PAP, the
Opposition likes to dwell on problems like rising costs, rising
unemployment, rising income gap, lack of check and balance etc to
make us worry.
Singaporeans don't like to hear bad news especially if it has
nothing to do with them: like some unfortunate person who has to
dig the thrash for aluminium cans to put food on the table. So what
if 20% of the households have to live on less than $1000 a month as
long as you're not one of them?You don't have to think if the
influx of foreign workers has caused wages to be depressed to the
detriment of local workers.
Whatever it is, PAP MPs are already paid $13,000 a month to look
after our interests so we can all relax and leave it to them. If
anything goes wrong in the coming years, the govt will rectify with
an even bigger goodie bag before the next elections to relieve your
unhappiness. This is a govt that cares about you, they need to keep
you alive and working until age 70 to pay for your HDB, ERP, GST,
COE etc, so why would they do anything that is not good for
you.
Singaporeans are so lucky that our beloved Prime Minister Lee Hsien
Loong has come out with a $2.6b help package for all Singaporeans.
Singaporeans thinking of migrating must be out of their mind. With
such good caring govt that helps the poor, who would ever think of
migrating.
