life goes on

What is the worse that can happen if the PAP loses 10-20 seats?

Will people really miss those part time PAP MPs with little to say on critical life-affecting issues?

the answer is obvious.

Too many jobs were created which led to an influx of foreigners to fill the positions too fast, too soon.

The momentum has now ground to a halt because of the economic crisis.
But if the pace picks up again, Singaporeans could end up being outnumbered by foreigners in the workplace.

there could be more than three million foreigners working here by 2030, forming half the workforce. That will jump to almost 10 million by 2050, making up 75 per cent of employees here.

It is a frightening leap from the current figure of one million, or 36 per cent of the workforce.

Of the 235,000 jobs added in 2007, six in 10 went to foreigners. The ratio rose last year, with foreigners taking seven in 10 of the 222,000 new jobs.
This means that almost 300,000 foreigners flocked here to take up jobs in the past two years, pushing their population past the one million mark for the first time.

they did not care about you, they care for themselves

in the end, it was ME, ME and ME.

Health Minister Mr Khaw Boon Wan had apologized

on his blog in an entry dated 22 November 2009:

The chemo overdose errors in KKH were human errors. They should not have happened, but they did. We are sorry for the mistakes and are all saddened by the incidents,” he wrote in the opening paragraph.

Mr Khaw also commended the Yip family for their magnanimity in forgiving the two pharmacists responsible for the error.

“We all make mistakes but we must readily admit them and learn from the mistakes so that they do not get repeated.

To err is human; to forgive, divine. To be able to forgive requires a higher level of wisdom and generosity,”

he added.

nothing is heard from KKH CEO Prof Ivy Ng, who is incidentally the wife of Education Minister Dr Ng Eng Hen.

maximise growth at any cost, at the expense of singaporeans

Singapore has the third-largest share of foreign-born persons in its population of any country, after the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

It is inevitable that foreigner numbers will continue to swell, but the key is how many the country can accommodate and how fast it wants to grow.

PAP govt had went overboard in trying to maximise growth, at the expense of singaporeans.

For the investments that were brought in, the criteria were more to generate growth.

This has led to more low- skilled and cheaper foreign workers on work permits.

Their presence, in turn, has depressed the salaries of low-skilled Singaporeans.

It is not a new trend, and PAP govt policymakers are aware of it,

government labour reports show that wages of workers such as cleaners and labourers have stayed stagnant or even declined in the past decade, while the wages of higher- skilled workers rose.

Singapore had the biggest gap in both years. It also had one of the fastest widening gaps: In 1996, the top 10 per cent earned 4.9 times the income earned by the bottom 10 per cent; in 2006, that proportion had increased to 5.7.

The PAP govt has not done their job well, people has eyes to see.

cheers to our great leader who made thw wrong policies while they are aware of it.

the need to change

Japan can, why not singapore.
not only for our generation, but the next and the next and the next.

Now is the time to change.

two-thirds of s'pore PR applications are successful

Singapore PAP govt gave PR like free candies..

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Mr Wong Kan Seng said in Parliament yesterday that an average of 46,300 people are granted Singaporean permanent resident (PR) status every year for the past eight years.

From 2000 to 2008, an average of 74,500 applications for permanent residency were submitted by foreigners each year. Of these, an average of 46,300 applications were successful which translates to two successful applications out of every three.
MM Lee said earlier that all applications are carefully vetted so that “highly qualified” foreigners will become PRs.

However, some of the new PRs include beauticians, language teachers, clinic assistants and administrative personnel who are not quite considered “qualified” as exemplified by the case of

Chinese national Zhang Yuanyuan who got her PR in only 2 months while working as a Chinese teacher in a private school.

In his reply to Mr Chiam See Tong’s question about the number of PR applications received, granted and PR statuses renounced,

Mr Wong said that PR applications have been increasing steadily in recent years.

As of June this year, there were 1.253 million non-residents, but only 533,000 PRs. In total, foreigners now make up 36 per cent of Singapore’s population, up from 14 per cent in 1990.


An online furore over Chinese national and

Singapore PR Zhang Yuanyuan proclaiming her loyalty to China on TV

was even reported in The Economist.

Despite concerns on the ground at the direction and viability of Singapore’s liberal immigration policy to import foreigners en masse to make up for the population shortfall here,

the ruling party is adamant that there will be no wholesale changes to it.

In the past, immigrants were concentrated at the top or bottom of the jobs ladder, performing work that Singaporeans could not or did not want to do.

Today, foreigners compete on almost every rung. Some, like geneticists, bring in useful skills. Others—it is feared—displace local skills and depress wages at the bottom.

PRs enjoy the benefits of citizenship without all the responsibilities, such as national service for men (first-generation PRs are generally exempt).

High immigration has coincided with a widening income gap. Singapore’s Gini coefficient, a measure of inequality, rose from 0.444 in 2000 to 0.481 in 2008—higher than in China and America.

it was the latest sign of resentment towards incomers and evidence that immigration is becoming the city-state’s dominant political issue.

they did not care about people and aimed for economic growth at all cost,including downgrading singapore citizen to play second fiddle to PR.

cheers to our great leaders.

they are liars

our great leader told us that they will create jobs for us.
in the end, we are played out by them.

they are liars.

social unrest : can we all get along?

In 1990, citizens made up 86% of Singapore’s 3m people.
Today, the share is 64% of 5m-odd. More than one in three people are foreigners (permanent residents, known as PRs, and non-residents).

The contrast between the glitzy downtown and the “heartlands” is glaring, and more damaging in tiny, dense Singapore than it would be in a big country

And the dominance of the ruling People’s Action Party means that in Singapore—unlike many countries—anti-immigrant sentiment cannot easily gain a strong political voice.

Expect no drastic policy changes.

it was the latest sign of resentment towards incomers and evidence that immigration is becoming the city-state’s dominant political issue.

cheers to great leaders for their good policies.

they did not care

so what they said..not a big deal.

the higher earners pay is peanuts

they want the casino because of themselves

these casinos are not built to benefit ordinary Singaporeans.
the govt will gain huge revenue from the casino revenue.

they will leave the churches, volunteers and social workers to cope with the problem(shit) it generates.


that's how they did the things!

cheers to our great leaders.

the price of happiness

"Cheaper, better, and faster "....its the same old story. The last time they promised Swiss cheese if we worked harder and faster but this time they don't even bother to promise anything.
All they can say is we will get to keep our jobs to service our HDB debts if we can keep up with their system.

first things we asked ourselves: despite our 3rd quarter of 15% growth, did we get the share? are we happier now or then?

they said we are choosy of the jobs, they told us foreigners would not take away your jobs. they said that the foreigners would create jobs in return.

they gave PR like free candies and when they became so big, and create problems, they asked us to solve their shit for what they created in the first place.

can you believe them?

not anymore.

the buck stops here.
