our country is a heaven for the big business owners , rich and elites because there are so many ways to skin a cat here. security, stability, concentrated population with ideal logistical infrastructure is all they can dream of>
Welfare for middle class and poor also. If really that bad, then the 70% mandate come from where. Majority of the population here still the middle class and poor. People can see and feel on the ground also if things go south

This is just how you think, maybe you can improve yourself and stop whining then you will love staying here.
And the typical 'if you dont support my infallible policy you are a loser in sinkie' response that makes them unpopular

No matter what advice you get will divert to negative thinking. Cheer up man, maybe one day you meet a group of positive thinking or cheerful people, you will think differently.

The only thing I received today is your hard sell tactic to convince everyone that only your version correct one that no matter how many people disagree your just gonna bulldoze your ideas and shaft it down us.

I work and live in Australia daily.

People here fight for their rights.

Unlike SG, there's no real Union or you don't even see anything in news or hear anything that the Gov dislikes. :)
Although we are not strong in our union as compare to European or western countries but we start to shows improvement in that. NTUC union is one of the e.g. testing things out

are you talking about chiur middle class circles or actually going on the ground to get to know actual poverty in sinkieland
i can safely say there are definitely more than 10 countries around the world where chiu get a better SOL as a middle income (read: not rich) taxpayer
we are a city, going overseas ish not a big deal especially when surrounding countries all way cheaper than us. Equivalent to someone taking a trip to another city in a bigger country
If a sinkie cant even go overseas then ish call not good life to chiu then ur bar ish really in the basement cos the equivalent standard of living would be say, a jhk who cant even afford to leave jb and visit kl
Eh ... go JB shop shop look see look see can be considered as go overseas right?? Darn gian png that 8% discount across the straits of Johor and that 3.5+ purchasing power of SGD..

I been to many places not juz jb such as Taiwan, hk, china, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, Indonesia and new Zealand. To Sinkies still affordable, some of them top 10 most expensive city some more. SGD purchasing power not so strong in new Zealand as I know of

Let me give you some facts here, throughout the past 3 to 5 elections, you know who are the winners that win big margin. The votes already do the talking what people really wants in the gov body. You just trying to deny the facts. If people disagree, why the facts are reverse? Or is it you are trying to deny the truth or can't handle the truth or reality.

Vote oppo is support the garment.
Voting them will make SG start things from scratch. Not every Sinkies are ready to step up their comfort zone to restart their new life with the new government. If mentality is strong then can survive through. New gov will make SG become survival of the fittest, once this becomes real, I can say is good luck and all the best. Changes also right and not wrong also but have to see how many people can take the hardship to start all over again.

Hard times create strong people, strong people create easy times, easy times create lazy people, lazy people create hard times. Opposition need to start from the hard times to create their foundation. I believe many young generation can't take the heat. Some more we are in the midst of uncertainties still facing inflation, pandemic and so on

This is BS and pure nonsense.............. Dun spread falsehoods. It's just like saying SG will collapse if PAP is not the ruling party of the day. SG doesn't need to start from scratch as the foundation is already there. Civil service will just continue to operate as per normal until there are new directives from the g of the day.

Cold turkey? Maybe there will be, but it's sure a good way and necessary to get rid of wasteful old ways.

Start from scratch doesn't necessarily rebuild the nation. It can be many meaning. You can compare other countries, after change of gov, how policy change affect or benefit them. Just do research, don't just assume here and there. Base on my opinion, opposition is still not strong enough, only some are strong

Voting oppo will make SG constitution not suka suka shifting like trash can. And those JLB portfolio like mayor will vanished for good, save expense for the garment.
Not every politician are ready to step up their comfort zone to restart their new life when lost deposit. If mentality is strong then can survive through.
New mp will make SG become survival of the fittest, once this becomes real, I can say is good for voters as it return back to the intention of GE: to choose ppl who can really serve the ppl. Changes are rught and not wrong bcos cannot be the case where peasants and middle class need face competition and struggle day to day but the elites are immune from competition and unchallenged.

I bet to differ this, just look at Taiwan as an example. Throughout the years they keep changing gov, either green or blue. They are focusing on how to fix the opposition once they are elected and doesn't spent the key moment to fix the country issue and end up own citizen bare the consequences. If keep changing gov will not help much. Only way to keep consistently good record about the country to progress is best stay with the same gov vision.
