Singapore Democrats

I agreed totaly with the uncle that said even in election, we cannot find locals at all. Most of PAP members are foreigners and most of the RCs member are made up of foreigners. I say this again Singapore politics are only for true blood Singaporean and the parliment belong to the people of Singapore and not foreigners. At the present rate after this election the parliment would be half foreigners on a PAP ticket and half Rich Singaporeans. What happpen to the common people? The common people that lived in HDB flats and buy stuffs from Sheng Shiong and NTUC supermarkets? We are not represented at all in parliment.If everyone can see the female PAP MPs are mostly Indonesia Chinese that ran away during Suharto's era. Now they brought in an Indian National that became a Singaporean in less than 10 years. Fully invested he said but he didn't even volunteer to do NS here but only wanted our money. In Malaysia, you must be a Malaysian citizen for 20 years before you can contest and be a member of parliment but here one word from Lee kuan yew a foreigner straightaway enter the parliment. I said it again after this election if the PAP still get their way, half will be imported MPs from China and India. In another 5 years after this election, foreigners will be in charged of our parliment on PAP ticket. Nothing will chnage for the better but our lives will be worst. They will never be Singaporean I tell you. Lee kuan yew said their childern will be Singaporean but he is totaly mistaken. It takes generation to be a Singaporean. I bet you they will instead after their childern are here for the better, they will run away to become US, Canada or other Western countries new citizen. After they used up our money and benefits given to them by the PAP. They won't be stupid to remain here that has no future. We are the stupid ones that keep on voting in PAP and they betray us in return.

Support SDP, they came to my Fajar Market in Bukit Panjang on Sunday!

Dear Freedom, true of your current impression of singapore politics, and thus, as such I had mentioned through this forum before, that the current reserve money of about USD $300 billion, are to be utilised by at least half OR if not more, and channel the fund by way of settling hdb mortgages, eradicating GST, town council conservancy fees,free healthcare, water and electricity bills, schools and university fees, and all other essential miscellaneuos fees, which are all affecting middle and lower income group earners of all original true born Singaporeans.

Well, all this reserve monies are the hard earn monies of our grand father and father generations, and do not wish to loose these monies overnight, through the culturally corrupted foreign new immigrant citizens from china, india, indonesia,thailand, myanmar, vietnam etc.......who may eventually take over Singapore politics, as well as, government bodies over times, and sabotage singapore totally leaving true born singaporeans with nothing at all. BY THEN WHAT A PATHETIC SITUATION WOULD BE! MAY GOD BLESS SINGAPORE!

All the best to you Jaslyn.....go for the Yuhua SMC!

Don't worry abt Minister of State Grace Fu. If Nurul Ibrahim, the Opp Pakatan newbie, could beat the UMNO female Minister with a PhD back in Mar 2008, so can you..... beat this PAP Minister!

I have every confidence in you beating Grace Fu!
So, you Go Girl! Go Jaslyn Go!

You guys are true and model Singaporeans, and you make me smile :)

Politicians & Civil Servants should ask themselves:

" Had we abused meritocracy when we ONLY work to project good yearly financial report in order to have extremely high salaries & bonuses while the welfare of the poor are being neglected ? "

SC Tan, I believe, is a typical Singaporean like many of us. I agree with what he wrote below:

" A few fellow older S'poreans also shared with me their woes.

1. Even if you decide to lower the CPF withdrawal age to 55, you might not have anything which you can withdraw. The minimum sum has been raised. With higher HDB prices, you have bigger loans to cope with. I had one uncle telling me how he went to the CPF board to finally withdraw his CPF & start his retirement having slogged his whole life. He went there & was told that he had to meet the minimum sum & he did not have enough left over so he could not withdraw anything. He claimed he was told that if he had housing loans to pay off, he could borrow from a bank. Now, I am not sure how much of his story was true or the likelihood of vented frustrations. But I fear something like that happening to me when I reach retirement age.

2. Why let so many Ah Beng & Ah Sengs (some who bring their whole families) into this country? You mean you count those bus drivers, workers at NTUC marts, retail shops at malls or HDB heartlands, hawker centres or food courts as foreign talent? Get work permit here now so easy is it? I thought I was told back then we needed FT as we lack professional doctors, engineers, blah blah. Now I see these FT working at hawker centers blah, jobs which locals who were retrenched or older S'poreans could work as. Guess locals are just too ex, yet we have to live with the consequences of rising costs as we have nowhere else to go.

3. It breaks my heart to see elderly S'porean work after 10pm cleaning the toilets at some heartlands. A few were past 65, some in their 70s. They said they had no choice as their children cannot afford to feed them, what with getting married & needing to pay for a flat & raising their own kids. Sigh, cannot let them work at Fairprice meh? Can say bladdy hell, which idiot gives out WPs like toilet paper.

4. I was literally stunned when I got up a bus one Sunday morning last year. The bus was 90% filled with Indians, Filipinos, PRCs. I was desperately looking around for a fellow local when it struck me, even the bus driver was FT. And dun any smart aleck tell me it's cos S'poreans drive. I have never owned or driven a car in my whole 45 plus years on this little red dot.That was when it struck me, how come I am seeing more & more FTs working in the heartlands, at foodcourts, as teleoperators. I am S'porean, but I no longer feel S'porean.

I love my Singlish & the locals here & highly respect a few FT I worked with. I have literally slogged my entire working life going to work when the sun rises & mostly working late till after sunset or even early morning. And for what? So that I can end up like the other elderly working past 65 or 70? I am not like our MM, I am an average local working & slogging like all my other fellow men. And dun tell me S'poreans are lazy or complain a lot. I can easily show you FTs who are lazy & experts at 'taichi' all the time or complain a lot about this country & its people & look down on us. Heck, I heard a Pre-U student on a bus from a very prestigious institution here who said to his also rich classmate - 'u dun want to look like a local or sound like one'. I wanted to smack him & tell him to get his bladdy arse outta my country. We always get criticized in the media but why few or no TV or newspaper openly criticize the 'FT' or visitors here? And I can also show you a lot of locals who work harder than average & even on workends. So dun @#$% with me. I am proud to be S'porean but am growing ever unhappy & worried when I should be happy in my middle age. And I am not the only one.

某基层投稿要求李总理改变主意让王大医生继续在吴资政屁护下留守席位照支高津贴乃司马昭之心照不宣！李总理有远见让王大医生回去所熟悉的慈善事业更有利民情大众，他在监督慈善捐款的表现和法师的合作无间及享受小小津贴至今还让国民耿耿于怀！是应该再回去服务大众以创造慈善事业更高境界的！王大医生。。功德无量

They have been very statistal at assuming that some 3.5 million or so Singaporeans cannot throw up geniuses, and so get the "best" from the many more millions elsewhere.

Hopefully, they also checked case-by-case, for, as the saying goes, statistics can lie. But the few at the top cannot themselves check. They can only pronounce a policy, like the late Dr Goh as Minister of Education saying once, referring to staffing at a key tertiary education institution, "second raters from overseas would still be better than locals".

They have to depend upon those "on the ground" to do the sifting. But what would likely happen there, human nature being such, and at our level of moral development as influenced by the national policy of selfish "survival of the fittest" we call "meritocracy"?

If I happened to be in some position of power and asked to identify some "talent", I eliminate competition and survive by reporting there is no local talent to equal, worse, supersede me. So I remain at the top amongst locals, and if that means "foreign talents" will eventually come, that won't be aa yet and I'll take a chance with that.

Might not be the case with regard to identifying potentials for the PAP, as the process there will be safeguarded by the policymakers themselves. Still, my observation is worth making for that policy's implementation down the line through the civil service, stat boards, etc, regarding which top leaders lose control of what actually goes on!

I always been wanting to for SDP to come to my area. Is so much better for a change of MP.
