Wh...Soodo at 9:36 AM,<br />You cannot be more correct! <br /><br />What's the diff for this "coverment" of ours? <br /><br />Not increase in welfare cost. <br /><br />But big increase in taxes of all shades and potentially pro-PAP votes from these new citizens. Lest I forget many more months of Bonus as the GDP would presumably increased and keep increasing.Lye Khuen Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902519116110277038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702093.post-55358047039646003602013-02-17T12:40:55.109+08:002013-02-17T12:40:55.109+08:00A good government must be the one who cares for th...A good government must be the one who cares for the average Singaporeans because many of us belong to this segment of our society. <br /><br />In fact, time is running out for the arrogant PAP to make amends and to seriously reform themselves in a way that the key policies can be thoughtfully formulated to meet the aspirations of this group of struggling Singaporeans. Failing which, I foresee a disastrous GE result for the ruling PAP, come 2016. Many Singaporeans are well prepared psychologically to abandon this 'deadwood'. The mature voters/Singaporeans know the politics in Singapore under such circumstances - "it must get worse before it can get better". And it's worth to pay the price for the long-term benefit of all average Singaporeans.michael13https://www.blogger.com/profile/05841112660263334281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702093.post-67301991889330642792013-02-17T09:36:49.990+08:002013-02-17T09:36:49.990+08:00"The white paper said that an aging populatio..."The white paper said that an aging population will create a financial problem for the young.
