Over-comms/engagement by Gahment?

[koxinga]

Here's a observation I often heard, from my mom, to my colleagues (thus purely anecdotal) that G seems to try to hard to comms and engage, especially with regards to CPF Life Shield and Pioneer Generation.

TV ads, letters, repeated news etc, what I am hearing (and feeling) is information overload. What I am hearing is schemes are getting more complicated, hence the need to start the change management process and comms early, even though they are still "seeking consultation" and tweaking the policy.

However, for all elaborate comms, the message does not seem to be going through..

GST increase is to help asset-rich political cronies enjoy luxuary for eternity.

People know that there will be much MORE PAIN AND MISERY come 2016 when (PM Lee's long held wet dream of raising GST)/ GST rise to 10% comes to fruitition. And just as minister Gan is offering handouts and free gifts to the asset rich folks living in the lap of luxury, U know whom these unnecessery increase in taxes will benefit most: the asset rich folks of course!!!#&£%@+-%#-£!!!

GST increase is to help asset-rich political cronies enjoy life for eternity.
Elderlies staying in HDB have to "Sell their HDB flat and move to live with family members or to a smaller flat or Studio Apartment (SA).... Join the Enhanced Lease Buyback Scheme (LBS) where the household sells part of the flat's lease to HDB and retains a 30-year lease, and use its net proceeds to top up their CPF RAs, join CPF LIFE, .... Rent out their HDB flat or spare room,... reverse mortgage": (10March2014: Singapore Budget 2014: Reverse mortgages for elderly HDB flat owners being seriously studied: Khaw, News, News, AsiaOne Business News)

However, for those staying in private properties/ own pte properties: "For the asset-rich, cash-poor, 'we have additional premium support that will consider their situation on a case-by-case basis,' he said, and encouraged anyone needing help to write to the government. " Health Minister Gan Kim Yong: (03July2014: MediShield support for asset-rich, cash-poor, AsiaOne Singapore News)

So asset rich Singaporeans in freehold landed properties are treated BETTER than asset poor HDB ones who have to sell, rent out, lease by back scheme just because these 'asset-rich' people can use lawyers to " write to the government" is it!!!??WTF?!! ##@!?%#@#%÷π√|√÷×!!.
Either that or Minister Gan KY is just being much too liberal with his $$$ in anticipation of a revenue bonanza from increase GST to 10% just after GE 2016 (3 big warning announcements by DPM(1x)/PM(2x) in Picts appended below).

Wonder if asset-rich people are also entitled to get increased GST vouchers, transfers/ rebates too...

Me thinks that these PAP folk are really earning themselves so much bad karma that they will most probably have to suffer many lives in hell for torturing poor people at every policy turn, just to feather the nest of their asset-rich-crony friends during their short lives on Earth.

this is more due to people who can read but decide to read too much into everything...

simplified is called gahment spin, PR, propaganda. Where is the transparency? the people asked.

looks like being transparent can also be a case of "too much of a good thing".

at the end, there will still be a small handful who claim they do not understand and that the government is trying to pull wool over their eye. In short, give me all my CPF monies or you gave to Ho Ching to gamble in the "casinos".

Honestly, I do not see why "life kicking u in the bawls" is uncaring and elitist. We are slowly and surely going into BIGGER government. I want society to literally work towards eliminating our need of government. Not enhance our dependence on government. Just give me all my CPF, I wun ask for another dime from you even if I run out..... Oh wait....
