I believe the country needs to change. There is too high of a tolerance for economic disparity. However I do not think that foreigners are the reason for the economic disparity. Foreigners, especially investors, stimulate out economy and create more jobs for Singaporeans. I think this video is xenophobic. The real issue is that the PAP has become too capitalistic and lost some of its socialistic values.
This video is not about investors who "stimulate our economy". This is about the PMET FTrash who are less qualified than Singaporeans but replacing Singaporeans at work simply because they are cheaper to employ. This has already happened everywhere in Sg. Have you not been mixing around with the "commoners" recently? Hence this video is not xxenophobic, but a depiction of the reality on the ground.
There seem to be only two credible politicians in the opposition parties - Mr Chiam See Tong and Mr Low Thia Kang. When Singaporeans vote, they vote for persons or parties of creditability. There's a real tie when a creditable person meets a member of a creditable party.
PAP politicians have a natural advantage in this sense, because of the work the PAP have done over the years, while politicians from opposition parties often work at personal charisma, which the two mentioned have.
PAP running dogs are very eager to promote Chiam and Low because Mr. Low has openly said that his party will not challenge PAP's ruling position for the next 50 yrs, while Chiam has shown by his 20 years record that he is most (only?) useful for PAP to "prove" to the world that Sg is a "democracy".
So your promotion of Chiam and Low is understandable! :) Meanwhile the rest of us patriotic Singaporeans will support other parties which are patriotic, capable and want to replace PAP.
There is no such thing as "opposition clown". They are all very serious, competent patriots, esp when compared to PAP candidates. There is however such a thing called PAP clowns. Are you one of them?
Yes, I trust the "recent malay dude" who spoke up against YOG's overshot budget. He's a patriot who is very concerned about how PAP is destroying his beloved country. You are a PAP running dog. You cannot hold a candle to him. So go screw yourself. LOL
the caption is of course from me. I am speaking up for the elderly, out of my sense of justice. You should too. We all should. Remember, one day, you and I will be old too. If you do not speak up for them today, who will speak up for you tomorrow? :)
Look how it is now.. Under the fascist regime we call the only party in singapore. Look how they brainwashed our people. Look how narrow minded our people have become. The only politics they know is PAP.
If i say socialism should be the way of life here, would anyone agree?
Cheap housing, job for life, singapore for singaporeans. I rather slog in the democratic republic than to enjoy life in capitalism at the expense of another. Long live our workers.

The only politics they know is PAP. But we all learn something similar, young or old: THEY shouldnt have open our doors to 'foreign talent'
I agree with you two things: Long live our workers-- and I cared for them dearly in constructions sites, working under the hot sun with them; and two, 'that they (the current ruling party) shouldn't have opened our doors to foreign talent, well, at least not that much. I had thought the 'foreign talent' issues were restricted only to advertising agencies and media, but it's permeated down to even construction.
You have jokers who come from God-knows-where who don't have half the education or competence of local staff, put where they are only to enforce Singapore's foreign talent policies. And the pay they receive is much higher. My heart went out to every young, experienced and educated Singaporean man who'd completed National Service (some were even officers), even as I worked alongside them.
Wahai rakyat Singapura, bukan anda tidak diberi peluang tetapi anda tidak menghargai peluang. Kertas undi di tangan anda, fikirlah sebelum undi.
Fellow Singaporean, it is not that you are not given a chance but you didn't cherish the chance. Cherish your pole. Think before you cross the ballot paper.
Cannot like that say leh. There is no whole-sale word-for-word, or image-for-image copying. Moreover, without acknowledgement, it's plagiarism. With acknowledgement, it's an inspiration. Lots of works of great fame - be it works of arts, or music, or literature etc - are inspired by previous works (and all duly acknowledged). Alas, u seemed ignorant of that.
Lets be realistic, the PAP is going to win the next elections. MM Lee is going to die celebrated as the modern father of Singapore, SM Goh will succeed him as the MM. PM Lee will remain for quite some time and the PAP will still be their when they're all gone. Lets get a grip people, we have one of the best governments in the world, minor faults, yes, but its better than Africa, elections after election, yet still millions of hungry and corruption rife. Change will be bad, just be grateful.
While PAP pays each of its ministers > leaders of USA + Germany + France + UK + Canada + Japan + Spain + Italy **COMBINED**, you ask Singaporeans to compare our country to Africa?!? Are you ok ? We should be comparing ourselves to the above G8 countries and since Sg is no where near G8's living std, PAP is not justified to pay itself thus - it's called LEEGALISED CORRUPTION!
Change is good. Nobody should be grateful to those who plunder their money.
you mean you find the pay is ok, because PAP does not just pay its ministers the world highest pay, but it also pays its cronies eg the army/senior civil servant/president/police etc equally outrageously high salary? If you find that ok, then good for you! It's called democracy. But I don't find it ok! Such salaries is called LEEgali$ed corruption.
That's nonsense. The police and armed forces in Singapore, even if they've been consistently rated the best regionally, or even across the world, are not paid two-thirds as much as the police or army services in First World countries; no, not even in Hongkong(!) if you consider it 'First World'. [And I understand that Hongkong police actually shoot one another over promotions, since promotions naturally bring higher salaries.]
The salary of SG police and armed forces is publicly available, just as those of Hong Kong are. A simple comparison shows that the former is much higher than the latter and indeed higher than most, if not all 1st world countries. You are therefore lying through your teeth. Go fly kite lah, you shameful running dog who can't even carry balls properly. Shoo. you are not welcomed here.
I totally resent you referring to the police or armed forces as PAP cronies: the army, the police and other statutory boards are one arm of government, who if crony will be crony to the ruling party, even if it happens, for instance, to be the dreaded SDP. Yes, the SDP, which has given the police force for instance so much work in its illegal campaigns; its slander campaigns; and perhaps one day actual threats against members of the ruling party.
That the police is a crony of PAP, helping it to arrest dissidents who have NOT broken the law, is a fact which every one know, except running dogs like you. lol.
Just because your political master abuses police power does NOT mean SDP or any other opp party will do the same. You are a lousy running dog to think that they are as corrupted as your master.
SDP works within The Constitution - highest law of SG. PAP's anti-protest law is illegal. You r an ignorant runnung dog. Zzz
Ingorant Singaporeans who think that Singapore doesn't have poor people, stop going into a shopping centre and open your eyes, go walk around Singapore notice the people who are poor in the streets, begging and "working" in the streets. Don't need to compare to Africa or even Malaysia, just look what is in Singapore.
without PAP, Singapore would be a third wolrd country. S'pore would be just like Malaysia and Indonesia. Compare the difference between singapore's gdp, economy, housing, standard of living and other asean countries? do you see the difference?
Without PAP, Singapore would have been a democratic compassionate society under true PM Lim Chin Siong, instead of a zero-welfare authoritarian country under LKY who betrayed his dear comrade Lim.
Why compare to Malaysia and Indonesia? You might as well compare to the poorest 3rd-world country in Africa to justify PAP's salary which is > leaders of USA + Canada + Germany + France + Japan + Spain + Italy + UK COMBINED. Get 1st world salary, but compare result to 3rd world. funny!
I agree that LKY betrayed Lim Chin Siong, whom even LKY said was a very charismatic and articulate politician who spoke (in his native) Teochew, and that is one skeleton in his closet that he'd definitely have to keep closed in, but I disagree that Singapore would definitely have been a more democratic and compassionate society under Lim Chin Siong. We had Goh Chok Tong who's admitted to being Hokkien as Prime Minister, and we still have him as Minister.
If you cannot talk sense, please dont talk. Your claim that Sg will not be more democratic/compassionate under Lim Chin Siong, because "we had Goh Chok Tong who's admitted to being Hokkien as Prime Minister, and we still have him as Minister" makes no sense. Maybe you should go brush up your English or go pay Woodbridge hospital a visit, or both!. Siao!
Only one man seems to have found Mr Goh Chok Tong isn't as generous or becoming as he is-- and that is Chee Soon Juan. It is said that when Mr Chee asked Mr Goh where the national coffers were that he, Mr Goh, pointed to his (own) pocket.
Everybody finds Wooden Goh and his PAP stingy assholes who tell workers to sacrifice their CPF cuts, while they each happily pocket more than 5 times of US President's salary every year. PAP running dogs like you love to pick on Chee Soon Juan, because he is a real threat to your political master. When are you going to start promoting Low Thia Kiang and Chiam See Tong, doggy? :)
We must overthrow PAP! The Orang Utan Lee Kuan Yew is planning suck our $! Now we are big time TAX payers! He torturing us! Look at mediacorp everything racist! Look at Singaporeans with education they be taxi driver than the foreigners get job! PAP is evil to Singapore!!!!!
If the opposition comes into power or have some sort of power, I do hope they'll lift the ban on dialects. My first langauge is and will forever be English but my second langauge will never be Mandarin. Proud to be Cantonese/Hokkien!
Dialect should NOT be banned. But, Cantonese/Hokkien and Mandarin are all Chinese languages - all written and read using the same Chinese character script. So it is only to illiterates (i.e. those who only speak/listen, but don't know how to write/read) that they are different languages. Cantonese in Hong Kong, Hokkienese in Mainland China are proud of being Chinese, just as those who speaks Mandarin are proud to be Chinese. Are you proud of being English? :)
@wendyneo Nop NOT proud to be English OR Chinese, I'm proud to be Singaporean. And in singapore we speak English. Anyway cantonese does have a written script. Its very common in HongKong and Maccau and gaining popularity in Guangzhou, Vancouver and Sydney . Type "written cantonese" in search engines, its very intresting.
No. In Singapore, we speak Malay and Chinese and Tamil and English. And we learn each other's language - that's how our grandparents spoke to each other. If you want everyone to abandon their beloved malay and Chinese and Tamil, to speak only in a foreign lang - English -, you are an English chauvinist, just like LKY is. Cantonese and Mandarin are both part of one united Chinese lang/culture. Don't try to split Chinese apart, the way India is.
Hakka has been found to be closer to Mandarin than Cantonese, for instance; and yet, many Hakkas in Singapore don't speak Hakka. Chinese is already 'split apart' as it is-- Mainland Chinese will tell you-- into Mandarin, Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka, Hainanese, Foo-chow, Shanghainese, Hock-chia and so on. India, even if it has more languages, say, more than 50 (for each ethnic group in China) also has a national language: Hindi.
You don't know the Chiense has a national language called Mandarin that is much more understood throughout china than Hindi is understood in India? Please stop making a fool of yourself or diverting this video into a language/race discussion. It just shows your ignorance,.ZZzz
This video rocks! Lee Kuan Yew is a dirty Orang Utan! The Orang Utan make Sinagporean difficult by using cheap army labour and edcation also unfair they make SIngaporean go ITE then Foreigner enter poly and UNIV and jobs nvr go to SIngaporean but Foreigner so unfair like dog in the street!
Your comments were not showing earlier on because I am not going to allow your ball-carrying nonsense to show, until the time comes when I have the mood and time to rebut them. And that time is now. When a person lick another's ass, to the extent of defying logical arguments and ignoring fact, that person is a loser. You are such a person. lol
And dun think these old folks r really tight on cash, you'll be surprised some even own cars and houses. i know a old karung guni man who owns a mercedes. Given not all old folks are that fortunate to own a car or a house, but dun go taking potshots at e Govt. for all social ills...
Only a pathetic pap ball-carrier such as yourself, will use a very rare case of a rich karung guni man, to skirt the numerous cases where poor old elderly s'poreans are left to fend for themselves on the streeets in a zero-welfare country. Today, you speak up for the bully. Tomorrow, it is your turn to be bullied. Beware of your karma. lol
A govt which cannot solve a rampant social ill and yet pays itself > G8 leaders COMBINED, deserve to be boot out. Stop carrying balls.
How an old woman picking up cans be the fault of the Govt.? better u go ask her children instead why they allowed her to do that. anyway this isn't only happening in Sg., you'll see old ppl picking cans and cardboard everywhere; in HK, India, Taiwan, even Russia just to name a few. Old folks are frugal ppl. esp. those who had experienced poverty and gone thru 2nd WW and to them "nothing goes to waste" and u can't stop them picking cans.
U better go ask your parents why they never teach you basic commonsense that some people are not married; some have no children; some have children who died before them etc. Your PAP master is paid > leaders of USA + Canada + UK + Japan + Germany + France + Spain + Italy (G8) COMBINED, but you compare elderly S'poreans to HK, India, Russia? Are you out of your f**king mind? Poor woman pick cans to survive, but you imply she doing it for fun! R you a shameless PAP ball-carrier?
I agree that the FAP is farked up but you better beware of K jeyaratnam, being of half Indian - Half English descent do you think he will halt foreign immigration? Or is this all lip service just to buy votes, once he gets in he will give a red carpet welcome to all his foreign buddies.
Remember how 'pro chinese' LKY was, and when he got rid of Lim CS, then he show his true colour
PAP has reigned over Singapore for decades. You might support in perhaps voting for another political party that might benefit the nation, but hey, like the old saying says, "When we want to get something, we lie, that's how you become president." You never know the other political party that win over PAP might ruin the whole nation but hey, if we never try, we never know. When the day comes when PAP lose their strength, we'll see Singapore's future
It is true that another political party may also ruin Sg. Therefore, the goal is NOT to replace PAP with a 1-party-only SDP or WP. Rather, it is to have a 2-party system with check and balance, so that they can monitor each other and compete to please us - their bosses. It is dangerous to place the fate of Sg in the hand of one politician because if he becomes corrupt or a traitor (both of which had already happened), it would be near impossible to have him replaced peacefully!
wendy, as u may have noticed i have subbed u for your endless loyalty to singapore. cant say much as im serving "national studpidity".(partly brain washed... cannot think rite hahaha) no offence but really admired your work.
Hi Wendy, thank you for the work you have done here. We need to have more concerned Singaporeans who believe that change is good for Singapore, not a bunch of people who sit on their laurels of the past and think that Singapore is going to be some star of Asia. Change, especially positive change for the future, is always good.
how truth is this video???? the part on the old woman claim to vote for PAP and end up in street picking up empty cans to sale? is she the person that said all the claim in this video?
This video is absolutely truthful!!! The old woman typifies people of her generation who has voted overwhelmingly for PAP (that's a truth that u can verify from past election results), but who ended up on the streets picking up empty cans for sale (That's another truth that u can verify by going to Chinatown and the heartlands).
She is obviously not the person who spoke the perfect Mandarin in the video. That does not diminish the truth of the video in any way. Don't be ridiculous
Your govt leaders' corruption can be brought to justice one day when they are overthrown by the people. In contrast, Sg leaders can never be hauled to court because they have LEEgalised corruptioin!!!
You are an unthinking slave who want to pay high (disguised) tax to Sg govt, in return for so much less compared to the citizens of other 1st-world countries.
That's right - we prefer to compare to 1st world countries because we want to compare apples to apples. Do you know how to do that?
I see ur points Wendy..... I have many issues but unlike you.... i dun have much faith in government.. past, present or future. Power corrupts all eventually.... and since LKY has such a tight grip, I wonder out loud if ur current efforts however admirable and altruistic will bear any fruit. Nonetheless, LKY remains an idol to me, comparing our standards of livings with the rest in Asia. Thw West started industrialisation much eralier so it's not fair to use them as a benchmark.
piggadave, since you dont have much faith in govt, it's all the more reason you should support democracy and a 2-party system because that's the only way to provide CHECK AND BALANCE against the govt!
Our std of living should be compared to 1st world countries, not "the rest of asia"! THat's because we pay our PM > leaders of USA + Canada + France + Germany + Japan + Spain + Italy + UK **COMBINED**. Anyway, R our std of living higher than Japan, Korea, Taiwan, HK? No!
Nothing will bear fruit unless and until you try. When Martin Luther King first stood up against racial discriminiation, there are many wet blankets thrown at him too by people like you. Luckily, he did not listen to them :)
If you think it is not fair to use the west as a benchmark for std of living, pls tell lky not to benchmark his salary to be higher than ALL these western countries COMBINED: USA + Canada + France + Germany + Italy + UK!
it's a matter of expression..... dun take it literally..... we do ensure those around us are well taken care of before we could do more.... history has shown that no government is truly for the people and by the people.... it would be perfect if it was... that's what i emant by idealism... not you per se becos we all have idealism but do not forget pragmatism
of course no govt is truly for the people. But what's the point of saying that when our govt is at the other end: completely not working for the people?
It is no idealism to expect the govt to work, say, 80% for the people, given that it is now near 0% (what with treating FTrash better than Singaporeans in our own country!)
do you realise throughout our discussion.. i never once made personal comments on ur thoughts however ludicrous in my view.. beocs that's the spirit of unfettered hard talk discussion where ur views are as valued as mine.... try looking up rousseau since u talk about free speech so much
You have made lots of personal comments including charges that I am too idealistic, an arm-chair critic, someone who has left for good overseas than to stay here to fight it out blah blah blah.
You are thus not fit to say that I am making personal comments BACK at you, given that you have done that FIRST.
if u cannot even help those around you.. u wanna save the world? So i charge you now with this question... what;s ur plan and idea to make singapore a better place so there wun be elderly or homeless or people who cannot afford to pay their housing.... i can see the lure of idealism.... why do u not post my comments
I don't know what c*ck u u are talking about "saving the world". We are talking about Singapore here.
You can read some of my plans and ideas in the beginning of this video:
It is the responsibility of all govt to have *some* welfare system (which will not bankrupt the country) so that most elderly or homeless people are taken care of. This is no idealism - all 1st-world country has succeeded in that.
All your comments will be posted - when I get the time to rebut them
My video shows some/many people OPPOSING pap. It is *your* distortion that everyone wants to LEAVE. If you have no logic, that's your own problem. Using your lack of logic to tarnish free press will not fool Singaporeans. lol
many people.... do u see many people leaving? or perhaps that's ur broad definition based on a narrow band of evidences you gathered from here and there....i keep saying.... lol and getting personal do not render you more correct.....i am not pro PAP and really wendy.. singapore is doing very well
Yes, I see many people leaving. 1000 give up citizenship per year, and 10,000 acquire foreign PR per year. This is official govt stats, stright from Wong Kan Seng's mouth. When you do not even know official stats like this, it is only right for me to call a spade a spade and say that you are ignorant.l That's not getting personal.
Sg is not doing well - It is propping up its economy by competing with China/India on price alone, when it should be upgrading to a tech-based economy.
S'poreans are also not doing well - those above 35 cannot find jobs, having to compete with cheaper foreigners with no citizen-first law. Those who fall through the crack through no fault of their own has no welfare backup. Thus 1 person commit suicide/day, 1 elderly suicide/week, 1 teenage suicide/month and that's all official stats.
1000 is not quite a number to justify ur claim that something is wrong .... people leave the developed world too... take jim rogers who has settled in singapore...i am jus perturbed over so crusade and ur vows to fight for singapore from overseas.... i see no value.. i did not get personal... i jus see the futility...if u think a new government will solve all social ills that;s idealistic...
1000, and 10,000 respectively are huge numbers given our small population and that it is a yearly figure! People do not leave the developed world in comparable numbers. Jim Roger is an exception, and that's why he is being highlighted. (Anyway, his departure probably has to do more with US tax being global tax).
It is not futile to make 100 videos to expose the truth to more people from overseas - unless you see more value to make it in Singapore where ISD can haul me to court?
New govt will NOT solve anything. No govt can solve anything becaue all govt become corrupt eventually, but TWO-govt system can provide check and balance to ensure sg's surivval and so for this reason, we should vote for the opposition and i am glad you and i see eye to eye on this.
i dun wish that to happen... u being hauled by ISD for making subversive videos will not impinge on my interest and while i am not 100% benevolent and magnanimous, i bear no ill will towards anyone regardless of their political orientation. FT is a ploy which i saw thru myself...... having to pay taxes, serve NS and treated less than equal compared to these newly imports. But the overall net gain, at least currently is still favourable.....
The old folks clearinig plates at hawker centres and washing toilets right now, had also, 30 years ago, thought that their "net gain" are "currently still favourable" and so they ignored the way LKY put trade union leaders under ISD detention. Today, they paid the price of having no independent trade union to fight for them.
Gd luck to u for waiting till conditions are unfavourable before acting. By then, you may no longer have a chance to vote - see last part of:
... yes they are the poors and we;ll continue to help like i am sponsoring the tuition fee of a JC student currently.. becos she is studious and hardworking... we help those who deserve... i dun yap and speak of idealisms.. gimme something i can use
helping the poor one by one directly is no true solution because the complete solution is to boot out this govt and instill *some* welfare that will not bankrupt the country, so that all the poor can be taken care of. This is no idealism - all western 1st-world countries are doing that.
Helping the poor is only 1 aspect. Instilling check and balance for our country's sake is the bigger aspect. This involve politics, not just charity. So don't tell me to replace politics with being mother teresa
..... does the aussie govt insure you completely.... yes, i may be replaced by a cheaper worker but that is due to globalisation.. not the PAP.. jobs are being replaced and outsourced by the millions in w. europe and US.... have you not heard,,.. so what do u do? accept ur fate and whine the govt this the govt that... get off ur butt and upgrade
Globalization does NOT replace you with a cheaper worker. It is the lack of a citizen-first employment law that does. Don't be ridiculous!
NOT a single Europeans or American jobs are replaced or outsourced to foreigners, let alone millions. That's because their law ensure that employers can get work visa to employ foreigners ONLY IF a qualified citizen cannot be found. I don't know where you heard your brain-washed nonsense.
try youtube... type american jobs outsourced..... i am sure these videos on you tube are impartial....why do u assumed i am brain-washed... u assumed i am idiotic incapable of rational thoughts, look up information? Then what difference are u from the PAP whom you accused of being a dictator and stamping out free press,,,,
American jobs are not outsourced anywhere to the same extent in sg, because it's illegal - by law, foreigners can only be employed when qualified citizens cannot be found. So any so-called outsource are done under the table, and the employer punished when found out by free spech and press. Visa is given out very restrictively compared to sg.
These are common knowledge and when u do not have them, it is not too much for me to assume that u have been brain-washed.
if u go thru life believing that luck plays a part... i wish u luck.....i am gainfully employed becos i chose to work harder than most.. wake up earlier... i dun whine when i get less from the government than my peers (rebates.. last few years)//... i bought insurance against such morbid eventuality.....
If you go thru life believing that you will never become disabled, or temporarily unemployed, or with no one to take care of you in your own age, I wish you luck and I challenge you to put your money where your mouth is and don't buy any insurance!
Why do you want to buy insurance since you believe luck plays no part and you will therefore never be unlucky?
PUBLIC WELFARE = PUBLIC INSURANCE SCHEME
WELFARE TAX = INSURANCE PREMIUM.
Your buying of insurance betray your disbelief of luck.
u are delirious... i am saying that insurance is not the responsibility of the government but the individual... for one government can cough up a comprehensive plan when it comes to insurance.. please read carefully before u jump on me
well my brother was diagnosed with kidneu failures 3 years ago... is it tough, yes but the government absorbs 60 pct of the treatment fee while we fork out the rest.. cannot complain...
Countless of Singaporeans are unable to pay that 40%.
But of course, you don't care about these fellow Singaporeans of yours, do you?
THroughout our discussion, you talk only of your friends who are gainfully employed, yourself who is earning good money, and now your family members who can afford to pay hospital bill.
No need to talk about overhauling the entire system for the benefit of the entire population, right? That's being selfish.
i assure u i am probably as altruistic as you.......i do not wish to put down into dollars and cents my contributions to charity or to those i deem less fortunate...how long have u been away... dun u know there is a massive upgrading projects in most HDB ensuring lifts stop at every floor... i think most are now....diabled....
Your altruism is limited to charity to some people. I am talking about removing PAP to ensure the survival of the country for the sake of the entire population for generations to come.
CHARITY IS NOT THE SAME AS POLITICS. Each has its own place. You cannot replace one with the other. You are talking apple (charity) while I am talking orange (politics). I hope u know the diff.
HDB upgrading is to rectify their past mistake. And for that, they made the people foot the bill!
the people shouldn't pay because it is a mistake made by HDB due to its lack of fore-sight when it first built these flats 30 years ago. If it had incorporated those lift-landing at that time, it would have been much cheaper than trying to rectify the mistake now.
Nothing is free and the govt has collected enough. I note with satisfaction that you are unable to counter my listing of disguised tax that the govt has collected.
are u promoting welfarism? mother theresa is not a politician indeed but her approach is right.... why focus on the problem... look for solution..... unless u can find better alternative to unseat the present PAP.... i see no future in ur current ranting... post as u may and it wun make a dent.
welfarism is good and has not bankrupt any country contrary to what LKY has been warning for 40 years.
The solution is to boot out PAP. We are working on that. I see lots of future in my video and your attempt to run me down is good evidence that I am on the right track. lol
welfarism has not bankrupted any country? try US..... the debt is an astounding 12 trillions....why do u think so many banks are collapsing over there.....? i am not runnig you down... i applaud ur efforts however misguided.
US debt is due to military spending. Bank collapse is due to poor financial management resulting from over-lending to unqualified borrower. I am not trying to run you down, but you are becoming more and more ridiculous. For eg: Are the banks in public welfare business? Of course not. So please don't be ridiculous with your examples.
i dun follow ur arguments.... er.... before the war... US debts were already 7.6 trillions... yes do ur reserach... mostly due to welfare.....you have not answered me on job losses in US and europe.. you said i was brain-washed.. have you checked... the banks collapsed becos of loan defaultments, rising unemployment.. dwindling purchasing power....
Yes, the banks collapsed because of loan defaultments, rising unemployment, dwinidling purchasing power! NOTHING TO DO WITH WELFARISM. Thanks for finally admitting that and finally not linking bank collapse to welfarism.
US debt is due to war and overconsumption. It is not due to welfarism. Thre are lots of economists who have written on this. Go check them up.
how about you... you think by posting some videos on youtube will serve ur cause? as i mentioned... mmother theresa never complained about the injustices in the world... she accepted it becos we live in a world far from ideal... she simply lived to remove them...
Mother teresa is a charity figure, not a politician. You are beginning to look very comical in your ridiculous urging that people who oppose PAP should do charity instead of getting involve in politics.
We are not talking about charity (only) here. We are talking about the future of Singapore, our homeland. We want a bright future for our families and our children. All these are poliltics.
wendy.... using derogatory descriptions on another's comments do not make u more correct but expose ur desperations or frustrations. BY UR ADMISSION.... u have left for a better life in australia.... ur entire family... so how could u speak for the average men and women who brave it out, live and contribute here..... nothing is easier than to be a critic
By **MY** admission, I have gone on strike against the PAP govt. A striking worker is an admirable person trying to bring the boss back to the negotiation table. By **YOUR** nonsensical accusation, I have left for a better life overseas. It is not derogatory to call your nonsensical accusation nonsense.
It is of course possible to speak out for Singaporeans, from the outside. But of course, pap supporters prefer us to be back where the ISD rules. lol
u simply believe in ur own logic dun you ..cannot agree to dsagree.. everything deviant from ur beliefs are nonsense... following that rational... there are many idiots around.... how many times have i told u i am not a PAP supporter though i admire LKY greatly... many people do and many dun.... and again.. why do u censor my comments.. free speech aye?
None of your comment has been censored and none will. But it is my policy not to publish any comments until I find the time to rebut them. So wait!!! My life doesnt revolve around answering your comments only!
It is strange for a non-pap supporter to not only defend all its policies, but also to state - with no evidence - that no opposition is good enough to replace it. There is nothing to be ashamed of ini being a pap supporter. really :)
booted the president.....? wendy... the idiot served 2 terms which is the max prescribed by the US constitutions..... ended the war? when the grenades and bombs have exploded.. the hurt of 3 generations have jus begun... so free press has not been successful in preventing the war in the first place....? and u consider the US as an ideal to boost ur argument/
That's right - he was booted out after 2 terms, as constrained by the US constitution. In contrast, our Lau Buay Si has served for donkey number of terms, unconstrained by the constitution with no CHECK AND BALANCE.
Free press is now working to stop the war - it has exposed that there is no WMD. Free press has worked in the past to end the vietnam war.
In contrast, nothing is stopping PAP in its insane war to invade Singapore with foreigners. So, yes, US is an ideal COMPARED to sg. COMPARE!
free press started the vietnam war.... it depends on whose sides the "free press" chooses to serve... heard of Mccarthyism? He used free press to demonise or communist nations..... why do u think or what do u think started the korean and vietnam war... free press ended it....? that's a sweeping statement... i could go on if u r patient enuff ... it's not free press... it';s the bloody cost
Eventually both sides will be served by the free press. If not for the free press and the freedom to assembly/protest, the "bloody cost" itself would not get enough airing to stop the war fast enough. That's the case in other dictatorship.
eventually...much less have died than if there were no free press and free speech and free media. A comparison with Hitler's germany, Japan war's atrocity, China's dynastic war (due to inability to replace leaders via peaceful democratic means) are evidence.
I alawys provide evidence. Hence it takes me time to reply to your quick comment, none of which contain evidence!
and u do not ask urself how a democratic country with free press could vote an idiot into the white house..... and he's not the only one... starting from LBJ, Carter... reagan and bush senior were the exceptions..and Obama is more of a puppet presedent than many would believe
what is so difficult is the fact that u perceive others as imbecile incapable of thoughts simply becos they reject the wetern ideas of democracy and ur desire to impose and foist ur principles without such regard to the practicality and relevance.
Democracy is universally practical and relevant, unless one subscribe to lky's strange idea that somehow asians are not fit enough to deserve democracy.
U take offence at my calling u "brain-washed", so refute me! Eg. state some evidence why democracy is not practical or relevant to us.
yes. for a start, with democracy, emperors need not be replaced through wars and revolts, but through voting! And for the next, with democracy, able people can become emperors instead of father passing the throne to incapable sons, resulting in the decline of the dynasty! Likewise, present day china (just replace "emperor" with "despot")..
I can't help by say it again: isn't this very basic commonsense? :)
Thank you. I am glad that you understand that I love Singapore. This puts u in contrast to other pap supporters who resort to untruthful personal attacks that I am unpatriotic. Nothing is further from the truth - If I do not care for Singapore, I would not be criticising PAP, which in my opinion, is dragging Sg down the drain. It is impt to understand that today's PAP is a 1-man show by LKY, and diff from the PAP of 1965 where there is "internal democracy" within the party:
PAP is not perfect... no one is... the question is could u find a better replacement or alternative? Chee soon Juan? not him but maybe Jeyaratnam, low thia kiang or chiam.. but how many eligible opposition do we have.... life here is pretty good compared to many countries... have u lived overseas before?
Chee and Jeyaratnam are both better alternatives, which is why LKY wasted no time in bankrupting and demonising them completely. Low and Chiam are of no real threat to PAP which is why pap supporters love to quote them. lol. Life here is very bad compared to all 1st-world countries. Have u lived in a 1st-world country before?
Our PM earns > leaders of USA + UK + Germany + France + Japan + Italy + Canada + Spain (G8) **COMBINED**. So why r u still comparing to developing/3rd-world countries?
which first world country do you refer to... be specific .. I may not but i believe i can quote from freinds who have.....i am not comparing to thrid world countries.....what is the unemployment rate in US na d western europe now... wanna take a guess? US president earns very little but do you know how much under the table he obtained?
I have named 8 countries. How more specific do you need? *amused* The unemployment rate in USA and western Europe are much lower than that in Singapore. In Sg, household where nobody work are excluded from unemployment statistics. Likewise

I believe the country needs to change. There is too high of a tolerance for economic disparity. However I do not think that foreigners are the reason for the economic disparity. Foreigners, especially investors, stimulate out economy and create more jobs for Singaporeans. I think this video is xenophobic. The real issue is that the PAP has become too capitalistic and lost some of its socialistic values.
cherylflava 1 year ago 64
@cherylflava
This video is not about investors who "stimulate our economy". This is about the PMET FTrash who are less qualified than Singaporeans but replacing Singaporeans at work simply because they are cheaper to employ. This has already happened everywhere in Sg. Have you not been mixing around with the "commoners" recently? Hence this video is not xxenophobic, but a depiction of the reality on the ground.

There seem to be only two credible politicians in the opposition parties - Mr Chiam See Tong and Mr Low Thia Kang. When Singaporeans vote, they vote for persons or parties of creditability. There's a real tie when a creditable person meets a member of a creditable party.
PAP politicians have a natural advantage in this sense, because of the work the PAP have done over the years, while politicians from opposition parties often work at personal charisma, which the two mentioned have.
gnoynix1 1 year ago
@gnoynix1
PAP running dogs are very eager to promote Chiam and Low because Mr. Low has openly said that his party will not challenge PAP's ruling position for the next 50 yrs, while Chiam has shown by his 20 years record that he is most (only?) useful for PAP to "prove" to the world that Sg is a "democracy".
So your promotion of Chiam and Low is understandable! :) Meanwhile the rest of us patriotic Singaporeans will support other parties which are patriotic, capable and want to replace PAP.

在中国人面前，李光耀说自己如何如何希望新加坡人学华语。那是政治家的伎俩，不足为信。要知道实情，需常年观察他在学校与社会所执行的语文政策。
地铁只有英语报站，就是他的其中一种语文政策 - 通过这种策略，一方面可表明新加坡英语至上的地位，另一方面可迫使要在新加坡立足的人明白，倘若不懂英语，在新加坡生活会很麻烦，必须学习英语。

That's nonsense.

How an old woman picking up cans be the fault of the Govt.? better u go ask her children instead why they allowed her to do that. anyway this isn't only happening in Sg., you'll see old ppl picking cans and cardboard everywhere; in HK, India, Taiwan, even Russia just to name a few. Old folks are frugal ppl. esp. those who had experienced poverty and gone thru 2nd WW and to them "nothing goes to waste" and u can't stop them picking cans.

U better go ask your parents why they never teach you basic commonsense that some people are not married; some have no children; some have children who died before them etc. Your PAP master is paid > leaders of USA + Canada + UK + Japan + Germany + France + Spain + Italy (G8) COMBINED, but you compare elderly S'poreans to HK, India, Russia? Are you out of your f**king mind? Poor woman pick cans to survive, but you imply she doing it for fun! R you a shameless PAP ball-carrier?

I agree that the FAP is farked up but you better beware of K jeyaratnam, being of half Indian - Half English descent do you think he will halt foreign immigration? Or is this all lip service just to buy votes, once he gets in he will give a red carpet welcome to all his foreign buddies.
Remember how 'pro chinese' LKY was, and when he got rid of Lim CS, then he show his true colour

PAP has reigned over Singapore for decades. You might support in perhaps voting for another political party that might benefit the nation, but hey, like the old saying says, "When we want to get something, we lie, that's how you become president." You never know the other political party that win over PAP might ruin the whole nation but hey, if we never try, we never know. When the day comes when PAP lose their strength, we'll see Singapore's future

@waste25sec
It is true that another political party may also ruin Sg. Therefore, the goal is NOT to replace PAP with a 1-party-only SDP or WP. Rather, it is to have a 2-party system with check and balance, so that they can monitor each other and compete to please us - their bosses. It is dangerous to place the fate of Sg in the hand of one politician because if he becomes corrupt or a traitor (both of which had already happened), it would be near impossible to have him replaced peacefully!

how truth is this video???? the part on the old woman claim to vote for PAP and end up in street picking up empty cans to sale? is she the person that said all the claim in this video?
mapaway 2 years ago
This video is absolutely truthful!!! The old woman typifies people of her generation who has voted overwhelmingly for PAP (that's a truth that u can verify from past election results), but who ended up on the streets picking up empty cans for sale (That's another truth that u can verify by going to Chinatown and the heartlands).
She is obviously not the person who spoke the perfect Mandarin in the video. That does not diminish the truth of the video in any way. Don't be ridiculous

Your govt leaders' corruption can be brought to justice one day when they are overthrown by the people. In contrast, Sg leaders can never be hauled to court because they have LEEgalised corruptioin!!!
You are an unthinking slave who want to pay high (disguised) tax to Sg govt, in return for so much less compared to the citizens of other 1st-world countries.
That's right - we prefer to compare to 1st world countries because we want to compare apples to apples. Do you know how to do that?

I see ur points Wendy..... I have many issues but unlike you.... i dun have much faith in government.. past, present or future. Power corrupts all eventually.... and since LKY has such a tight grip, I wonder out loud if ur current efforts however admirable and altruistic will bear any fruit. Nonetheless, LKY remains an idol to me, comparing our standards of livings with the rest in Asia. Thw West started industrialisation much eralier so it's not fair to use them as a benchmark.
piggadave 2 years ago
piggadave, since you dont have much faith in govt, it's all the more reason you should support democracy and a 2-party system because that's the only way to provide CHECK AND BALANCE against the govt!
Our std of living should be compared to 1st world countries, not "the rest of asia"! THat's because we pay our PM > leaders of USA + Canada + France + Germany + Japan + Spain + Italy + UK **COMBINED**. Anyway, R our std of living higher than Japan, Korea, Taiwan, HK? No!

Nothing will bear fruit unless and until you try. When Martin Luther King first stood up against racial discriminiation, there are many wet blankets thrown at him too by people like you. Luckily, he did not listen to them :)

I don't know what c*ck u u are talking about "saving the world". We are talking about Singapore here.
You can read some of my plans and ideas in the beginning of this video:
It is the responsibility of all govt to have *some* welfare system (which will not bankrupt the country) so that most elderly or homeless people are taken care of. This is no idealism - all 1st-world country has succeeded in that.

piggadave 2 years ago
Yes, I see many people leaving. 1000 give up citizenship per year, and 10,000 acquire foreign PR per year. This is official govt stats, stright from Wong Kan Seng's mouth. When you do not even know official stats like this, it is only right for me to call a spade a spade and say that you are ignorant.l That's not getting personal.
wendyneo 2 years ago
Sg is not doing well - It is propping up its economy by competing with China/India on price alone, when it should be upgrading to a tech-based economy.
S'poreans are also not doing well - those above 35 cannot find jobs, having to compete with cheaper foreigners with no citizen-first law. Those who fall through the crack through no fault of their own has no welfare backup. Thus 1 person commit suicide/day, 1 elderly suicide/week, 1 teenage suicide/month and that's all official stats.

1000 is not quite a number to justify ur claim that something is wrong .... people leave the developed world too... take jim rogers who has settled in singapore...i am jus perturbed over so crusade and ur vows to fight for singapore from overseas.... i see no value.. i did not get personal... i jus see the futility...if u think a new government will solve all social ills that;s idealistic...
piggadave 2 years ago
1000, and 10,000 respectively are huge numbers given our small population and that it is a yearly figure! People do not leave the developed world in comparable numbers. Jim Roger is an exception, and that's why he is being highlighted. (Anyway, his departure probably has to do more with US tax being global tax).
It is not futile to make 100 videos to expose the truth to more people from overseas - unless you see more value to make it in Singapore where ISD can haul me to court?
wendyneo 2 years ago
New govt will NOT solve anything. No govt can solve anything becaue all govt become corrupt eventually, but TWO-govt system can provide check and balance to ensure sg's surivval and so for this reason, we should vote for the opposition and i am glad you and i see eye to eye on this.

The old folks clearinig plates at hawker centres and washing toilets right now, had also, 30 years ago, thought that their "net gain" are "currently still favourable" and so they ignored the way LKY put trade union leaders under ISD detention.

helping the poor one by one directly is no true solution because the complete solution is to boot out this govt and instill *some* welfare that will not bankrupt the country, so that all the poor can be taken care of. This is no idealism - all western 1st-world countries are doing that.

piggadave 2 years ago
Globalization does NOT replace you with a cheaper worker. It is the lack of a citizen-first employment law that does. Don't be ridiculous!
NOT a single Europeans or American jobs are replaced or outsourced to foreigners, let alone millions. That's because their law ensure that employers can get work visa to employ foreigners ONLY IF a qualified citizen cannot be found. I don't know where you heard your brain-washed nonsense.
wendyneo 2 years ago
And when US companies move low-value operations overseas, Americans up their economy to high-tech, again employing locals first.
No citizen should accept a cheaper-foreigner-first fate, unless he is a pap running dog barking for his master.

piggadave 2 years ago
American jobs are not outsourced anywhere to the same extent in sg, because it's illegal - by law, foreigners can only be employed when qualified citizens cannot be found. So any so-called outsource are done under the table, and the employer punished when found out by free spech and press. Visa is given out very restrictively compared to sg.
These are common knowledge and when u do not have them, it is not too much for me to assume that u have been brain-washed.

piggadave 2 years ago
If you go thru life believing that you will never become disabled, or temporarily unemployed, or with no one to take care of you in your own age, I wish you luck and I challenge you to put your money where your mouth is and don't buy any insurance!

Your altruism is limited to charity to some people. I am talking about removing PAP to ensure the survival of the country for the sake of the entire population for generations to come.
CHARITY IS NOT THE SAME AS POLITICS. Each has its own place. You cannot replace one with the other. You are talking apple (charity) while I am talking orange (politics). I hope u know the diff.

That's right - he was booted out after 2 terms, as constrained by the US constitution. In contrast, our Lau Buay Si has served for donkey number of terms, unconstrained by the constitution with no CHECK AND BALANCE.

A democratic country with free press can BOTH vote in an idiot AND get that idiot out eventually. Eg USA and other western democracies.
