actually most of the issues from 2011 still exist nowadays.

bto got more but application rates also high plus prices alot higher than 2011. resale also not affordable.

mrt issues also spoil.

fts flooding now is worst than 2011
The previous boss failed to address all the issues that he promised to resolve for the past 20 years.
And he also added more issues for the next guy to sort out.

- Employment ?
- Birth Rate ?
- Cost of Living ?
- Housing ? (This one is subjective. More much smaller and more expensive units are built.)
- Transport ?

one of pinky's biggest issues i think is that he gives his ministers too much free rein, and maybe also cos he is not as astute and firm as lky to spot issues and clam down hard on errant ministers.

which is why so many ministeries are having issues now - MOM, MOE... with poor policies.

and they seem bankrupt of ideas to spur the economy other than opening legs hoping for people to grow the population and drive spending.

pap really lost its way from the 1960s-1980s. the rot stated from lao Goh.
I think LHL's biggest issue is he's used to flattery and won't take 'no' for answer, ie he prefers yesman. I notice that many who got promoted to ministerial post, eg CHT, DL, JT, Indranee are those who's been attacking opposition party members in the past.

Didn't help that he's no where near his father's calibre. A mediocre leader who prefers yesman.. how much progress can we make under him?

suddenly see alot of influenza-wannabe and politics experts harping on "if got gerrymandering that draw more land for opposition to win more meh?"

like trying to make it look like they are benefitting the opposition. anyone with a brain can tell it's a smoke bomb like their masters... trying to confused 2D brains uncles. It's call packing okay, to reduce the effects of opposition supporters in other wards :s22:

truly the PAP has failed us completely, so why are we still voting for them?? why not be brave for once?? How many 5 years can one have?

To be fair... PAP had done a good job for Singapore economically... But at what expense?

We have become too crowded... everything become expensive... social behaviours getting worse... unemployment and underemployment for locals... etc all these are byproducts of the immigration and manpower policies that made Singapore grow... to the extent that it is affecting our social compact... which was indirectly acknowledged by TSL when he refused to show more detail and raw data regarding SC vs PR/Work permit holders...

Without the data... we are unable to see and justify for ourselves if this amount of economic growth is good for Singapore AND Singaporeans or not...

I mean... In the past... we are brainwashed that whatever that is GOOD for Singapore... is GOOD for Singaporeans... but I am not so sure now... I am now more leaning towards that What is GOOD for Singapore... is NOT NECESSARILY GOOD for Singaporeans... not at the expense of social compact... We are slowly losing our Singaporean identity...

So we as voters... need to decide... do we want to have such growth... or do we want to slow down for the locals to catch some breaths... give more time for locals to integrate with our new citizens... etc and risk falling behind other economies that are catching up... do we need to be No1 in everything? Is the current growth sustainable... is giving out vouchers or increasing grants/subsidies sustainable... etc

You can decide that with your vote...

indeed the country is rich but are the majority of its citizens having such wealth? many are struggling and continue to struggle. as usual with PAP, they are not transparent and will seek to confuse you rather then to be truthful

the sad thing is actually many voters dunno whats best for them or even for their children.

they can complain everything so expensive, but continue to give birth to 5-7 kids and still vote for pap. and when they struggle with living expenses have to come out work part time instead of being sahm because obviously cannot sustain, then complain hard to find job at their age. there are ppl ard me who are like this. like, why put yourself in hardship in the first place?

Remember this - 5 years ago, the people voted for PAP and then what did PAP do??
1. Raise GST to 8%
2. Raise GST to 9%
3. Mass import FTs and says they help the locals with jobs, so many FTs came and some with fake degrees too and replace the true blue SGreans from their jobs and us the locals have to work Grab driver or food delivery riders or even as security guards
4. Raised tax for water and electricity
5. Raised transport fares not ONCE but TWICE!
6. Keep asking us to take those useless skillfuture courses like how to clean a toilet, or how to cut a proper haircut?? Then they themselves enrich themselves with lavish lifestyles and big houses?? The locals? Made to beg for handouts??
7. The 2 Rajahs of Ridout Road and the the lizard See Leng aka Chit Leng sell his GCB and when foreign reports it, they get anal and sue them.
8. They implemented POFMA, POHA and FICA, all for the sake of further restricting our views and any dissent (POFMA was the brainchild of Shan aka one of the Rajahs of Ridout)
9. MRT breakdowns and derailment!!! (Great job ah a Chee Hong!!)
10. Almost daily breakdowns of our trains (Due to mass influx of FTs and new citizens), our infrastructure is old and the trains cannot take it.
11. LHL keep mum for years when the speaker TCJ and CLH was doing adultery.
12. Oxley Road house and the ousting of LHL, despite the passing of LWL he was not allowed back to even pay respect.
13. Iswaran went to jail and miraculously he was allowed to be jailed from his home.

there are many more like the fixing of Pritam etc. When can the 66% wake up and be brave for once???
The latest being SM LHL asserting that

https://www.straitstimes.com/singap...lee?_nei=6d645d70-330b-4bf5-9e08-a021d9329d20
Immigration will bring more competition and put pressure on Singaporeans to work harder and meet higher standards, but this will create a more vibrant economy and generate better opportunities and brighter prospects for future generations, he added.

The fact that PAP is welcoming immigration to 'bring more competition and put pressure on Singaporeans to work harder and meet higher standards'.. yet PAP politicians themselves have been utilising all means eg changes to electoral boundaries, fixing oppositions , etc to block their own competitors, is disgusting.

Really is double standard hypocrites.
