the politicians kept telling us what they will do for us if they are elected, but there is actually no way we can really make them do what they promised, right?
i forgot which opposition member was proposing to open up our national reserve and distribute it to the people, and Dr Vivian Balakrishnan rebutted by saying our national reserve is like our natural resource, nobody wants to deplete their prized natural resource.
but hor, we dont even know how much exactly is our reserve, how they determine how much to put into the reserve, and how is our reserve being managed leh. no transparency neh.
some PAP minister said the largest growth we experienced in the last 5 years was 7%, that was also when we had the largest number of foreign immigrants. if we were to restrict foreign immigrants, we can only expect lower growth of about 3-5%.
do we really need so much growth? why cant we grow less but be happier and more comfy in our home country with less foreigners? it's normal for developed countries to only get like 1-2% growth every year right? lower growth doesnt mean more of our own people get jobless right?
but i do understand that it is not easy to run a country lah. we have zero natural resources, so having a powerful reserve is important and it is difficult to manage such a huge reserve.
then with such low birth rates in Singapore, if we dont allow foreigners, who is going to replenish the population leh. unless my fellow Singaporeans willing to make more babies lor, i know im not. lols.
n hor, if u tax the rich too much hor, those elitist will migrate to another country before u can even redistribute the money to the poor.
we are where we are now, also lotsa credits to Mr Lee lah. though he is really an arrogant elitist, but he is a uber smart and capable elitist. haha.
