      PAP wants Singaporeans to pay more for less to maximize profits for their business cronies. This way PAP stands to get more kickbacks. Do not trust PAP. Do not vote PAP.

    Our tiny land is too small for so many foreigners and immigrants. Overcrowding is also an issue.

    PAP = NATO = No action talk only. The only thing that is consistent is that each time the f up, Singaporean have to pay for it.

    Stop allowing HDB to be used as a business assets and causing prices to increase exorbitantly. Stop forcing people to face consequences because they're not married or have children. You can sign your life to the army at 18 years old but only can buy a hdb at 35 years old?

    Low Thia Kiang alluded to: that the PAP, with its overweening dominance, may grow corrupt and rule illiberally, and that this danger can be better checked with a “more effective opposition presence.”

    LW made many promises to his peers and broke most in a single Cabinet reshuffle. Factions within the PAP, who were betrayed by LW, should gather support and challenge LW's new appointment as PM. KS, CCS, OYK, JT, CHT, etc should rally support from PAP MPs and call for a motion of no confidence on LW immediately after the swearing in ceremony. It would be another 20 years before anyone else has a chance at the top job if LW succeeds. I'm sure many PAP MPs want the top job.

    @socheezy3407 14 дней назад

    Focus on the concerns to increase the population of local people. Many can't get a home and waited 3-7 years just to get an overpriced, low quality, hollowed wall BTO. If this keeps up, Singapore will turn into nothing but a foreign(er) country. Foreigners have no bound to this country. They can return home and make this place be a shell of its former self and that's where no one needs SGD anymore. Mountains of reserve turned into nothing but dust.

      Tf? Are you high? I've seen some shameless currying favour in my life, but this is something else. They are already some of the highest paid ministers in the world. Why anyone would ask for them to get a further raise completely eludes me. We citizens are the ones who need a raise.
