Look at all the PAP ministers sucking up to foreigners and treat them as most precious pets and dogs.

goh chok tong opened the floodgates. LHL the cheebye kia became PM only cares about money going into the government.
So now they are implying foreigners and PRs are equal to to NS slaves who done so many years of training and wasted time.

For COL it is going up and up, easily at 10 to 20% annually.
PAP is never going to give a fuck, GDP is their KPI.
Import 3 million foreigners to boost economy.

MONEY OR VOUCHERS OR TOP UP TO THE KIDS ACCOUNT

Once the govt runs the country like a corporation, it's oredi screwed up.

Worse blurring the line between public & private. Loads of conflicts of interest & abuse of authority.
Keep seeing high inflation, unemployment, social ills, citizens jumping, ki siao, fighting for seats in HC, mrt, accidents at workplaces & on the road....Not happy living & working. Compared to 90s, we were really happy looking forward to Swiss living.

i think pap has given up on trying to win our votes so just resort to sucking up to foreigners and bringing them in by truckloads.

they are basically bankrupt of ideas to drive our economy other than just hoping the foreigners will continue to spend and spur our economy.

despite this, retail and restaurants are dropping like flies.

honestly, if you have kids, you sld start to worry about their future. we are in for a rough ride.

SEZ and RTS will put more nails into our coffins

we attract so many rubbish into SG because of our strong SGD and stable politics

i dare the govt to depreciate the SGD overnight, see how many PRs, new citizens, WP, SP, EP will rush out of SG immediately

in a decline for the longest time

cb gov is totally clueless and at their wits end on how to boost the economy

basically they killed off everything from manufacturing and farming back then, now rely on tourism and construction but theres only that much

ask any tourists and they say 2 days is basically enough here, it gets boring af

Serve NS these days is nothing to worry. Very safe and a lot easier.

The issue is that they are defending a country which prob at least half are not local born singaporeans.

And yeah a lot of competition from there for jobs and housing...
