It is over. Evey dust had settled. The garment is back in power, but hor, hee hee, they lost 6 seats to the opposition. The opposition conquer a single seat and a GRC, which is quite a feat considering the GRCs have always being the stronghold of the garment and allowing them to bring in retired army officers, civil servants or ex-personal secretaries of Prime Minister.
However, we lost 2 well-liked and respected veterans politicians and gain a "ginna" young lady who cannot react properly to interviews and talk without thinking.
Sign ... that is life, you win some you lose some. 2 sides to life or things. Whatever that has helped you previously, has now come back and harm you. For the opposition, whatever that has harm or deter you previously, has now become your booster and assist you.
For the next 5 years, with more oppositions in the parliament and the garment's promises before the election, let's hope the garment will keep their promises, tone down their arrogance and take care of ordinary Singaporeans like us. Like I mentioned before, there are 2 sides to life, the garment will either really take care of us or make us repent and regret for bring down the % during the elections. Hopefully it will not be the later, otherwise, for the next 5 years we will still suffer.
I hope with more oppositions, with the garment keeping their promises, the following will come true: -
1. Price of flats and resale flats (pls resale flats should also be included) should be lower, COV should be scrapped so that flat are sold @ valuation and not some mark up prices.
2. Transportation should be improved. The trains are too packed. Either have more buses plying into the estates and towns even for those routes that are not profitable or increase the frequencies of the trains. This should be done without increasing the fares as it will burden ordinary Singaporeans especially the poor.
3. Restrict the number of foreigners and PRs. Please, not all foreigners are talent, some are just shit. And please do not give our PRs so ready so that these foreigners can buy HDB flats to speculate. There are enough local talents to provide the workforce you need, you just need to pay these local talent respected salary.
4. Increase our wages. Because of your foreign talent (trash) policies, the wages has been stagnant for quite a while. It is time for you to restrict the foreigners and get companies to recruits locals at respected pay. Not cheap labour from other countries. We need to move up and be more competitive in terms of quality not in terms of cost.
5. Lower the ministers' and civil servants' pay. It is not justifiable that you have 22% increment while the rest of the workforce who are paying your salary is having only 2% or no increment at all. You are simply too expensive, otherwise, can we employ foreign talents to replace you?
6. Please take care of our senior citizens. These are the people who slog and work hard to build what Singapore is today. LKY and his friends did a lot, but our ah gong, ah ma, uncles and aunties work equally hard too. Please lower their medical bills and their daily expenses and don't ever suggest that senior citizens should go to JB nursing homes because it is cheaper. The garment should help to take care of these senior citizens.
Before I end this note, I would like to thank an veteran opposition for his dedication to Singaporeans' lives and our political democracy. Mr Chiam See Tong.
Mr Chiam, kudos to you. Even though you did not win this election, but you won the hearts of all Singaporeans. You had worked hard for us and we are in-debted to you. It is time for you to take care of yourself, take care of your health and enjoy your life. Thank You.
