I am worried about the future for Singapore.
I get the impression that during the past 18 months, most of our ministers are focused on fighting the covid pandemic.
What about other important matters, such as:
- running the country?
- making sure that our people have jobs?
- combating crime?
- make sure that Singapore remains competitive in the new global economy?
- address the pressures of our education system?
- encouraging our young families to have children?
- ensure that our national defense is reliable?
We have so many problems that need to be addressed. The job of the ministers is not just to combat covid (although it is important) and to set complicated rules on social distancing.
I could be wrong. Maybe they are also paying attention to these important issues.
We have one child and felt selfish for my daughter if we do not give him a sibling for fear of his loneliness. We live in a 3 room HDB and my wife is already 35. We could not afford to wait for another 4 years for a bigger flat. We have tried 3 times balloting for Sale-of- balance but were unsuccessful. We are sure we are not alone in being so helpless.

ReplyDeleteA key issue for the leader is authority. He lost some power, they
ReplyDeletethinking he was stepping down. There is a distinction between power and authority. A PM
requires power in order to enforce. All the mess in the country now was created by those who
thought 'Soft Voice" was replacing someone with a bit of power & authority. So no need scared.
Poor behavior and attitude in work can get away. 'Soft Voice' or any of the 4Gs will not
command the kind of authority that he has. The principal is without authority and power,
nothing works.
The deception towards the people who had suffered financially, emotionally, mentally,
ReplyDeletephysically and unfairly. The problem is the "experts" enjoy free rein with no consequences.
If they are completely off the mark, they face no loss in terms of financial or
reputation. If they strike lucky, they enjoy publicity.
→Excuses are the easy way out. - an iota of truth
Several Excuses Are Always Less Convincing Than One.
Don't ruin trust with excusesssss.
Every lie is two lies, the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it.
Integrity is making sure that the things you say and the things you do are in alignment.
Reactive people... are often affected by their physical environment. They find external sources to blame for their shortfall.

For society to mature, Singaporeans shouldn’t rely too much on Government to solve problems: MAS chief.
ReplyDeleteIt is not we don't want to solve it ourselves, we just can't.
Single but cannot put my mum as co-owner to my property. Her age and no income. The bank was not able to use my only income as TDSR because of MAS rule.
People are not able to add spouses' names to their property after marriage. It had to revert back to the beginning as a new sale. It is their private homes and their own money.
The exhausting decoupling for a second property, even though the family can pass the TDSR and all the fucking rules.
People had to sell their homes for various reasons to dodge the ABSD.
The speculators are still active, all because your fucking policies are not working. They now buy new form developers, rent it out for three years before selling. They found a loophole, whereas the genuine and sincere families buying to live are being penalized heavily.
The art of paperwork just to buy real homes has been frustrating, time-consuming, and indescribable. Unless you have full cash, the process is demeaning.
How you can be in MAS and stayed there for so long, only God knows, because the genuine buyers are suffering beyond words. All these are no exaggeration.

ReplyDeleteOne who has no money problem at all to have the sycophantic manner to make such comments to the general public.
Five-room Bishan HDB flat sold for record $1.295 million
ReplyDeleteStarving for space. Starving for immediate housing. No such supply from the main source.
There are roughly one million trained economists on the planet and not one of them could predict the 2008 financial crisis and the collapse it would play out?
