I feel there are too many problems to solve

Not many many young men doesn't want to sign on SAF
Not many many young women don't want to study Nursing at NYP and be nurse
Some young female students study nursing liao then quit study other courses

Housing also so many issues
1 year at least need 20K because marriage is growing at 20K a year
Now I believe HDB is building at a steady rate 20K

Divorce yearly is 6k to 7K
Marriage is 20k per year
So every year we like maintain 13K marrage
Although marraige up by 20k a year but also down by 7K due to divorce

Then our TRF also cui
Singles also want to move out to have own their house so those can afford house also go whack resale flat after 35 years

Then also so many ageing populations and hot potatoes issues

Sometimes I think I just move out of SG can already... so I wouldn't see my fellow singaporean face many problems to face

Actually a lot of these are due to open leg, faster better cheaper policies. If life was a bit slower paced, people had good living wage and path to affordable housing, they would be more encouraged to have kids, do the jobs that are ‘menial’ and be happier.

Instead what we have is a flood of (1) so called satki expats that r paid a lot (2) cheap cheap labour from neighbouring countries that keep all our wages down (3) stressed out kids because education is made so tough to compete with degree mills .. all this create sinkie pwn sinkie mentality, desire to tang ping, wfh, neet

i think 60s still ok cos they got the majulah package. is the 40-50s that struggling , the sandwiched generation.

PAP keep give goodies to the elderly to win votes then after that say due to ageing population cost increase. when is caused by themselves such as giving the generous pioneer generation packages.

Say real one, to keep up the pace of cost of living, government can't really do much or help anything. Maybe the only thing is to soften ground and provide some relief.

One way is just to increase your productivity so that u can keep up with cost of living

But no matter how you increase your speed of work and also working on weekends, you still feel you can't catch up the speed of properties' prices growth or the asking price of home owners.

Eg your productivity already running at full max capacity but your wages can never compete with people who are richer than you or you can't compete the speed of properties' prices growth

Speed of your work Vs wages growth Vs speed of properties' prices growth Vs greed

I saw one hawker selling wanton noodles

4 years ago, he was just using one hand to cook noodles

One hand hold chopsticks, another one hand hold the net to cook noodles.

now like using 2 hands to hold 2 nets

Noodles no longer taste good because he never use chopsticks to stir and separate the nodles

he say needs to increase productivity because rental or cost increasing and he needs to sell more noodles

But what he didn't know his noodles doesn't taste good anymore
