Straits Times senior transport correspondent Christopher Tan mentioned, among other things, the need for the authorities to build bigger HDB flats that will put Singaporeans in a better position to prevent disease transmission (Ponder housing affordability, land cost issues in future S'pore plans, Aug 23).

1) Who makes all the rules?
2) Who sets what should be done?
3) Who has all the say?
4)Who has every suggestion?
5) Who decides everything?
6) Who sets all the prices?
7) Who tied all our hands?
8) Who commands?
9) Who did all the planning?
10) Who decides how we should live?
11) Who decides all the timing?
12) People do not have choices!
13) Who creates?
Singaporeans should not be too dependent on the Government for everything from self-development to recreation. We should learn to swim on our own so that our chances of survival are greater in this uncertain world.
