I WANTED TO STOP THE GE2011 THING BUT RIDICULOUS RUMORS MADE ME JUST WANT TO DO UP ON THIS BLOG ENTRY COS EVERYBODY'S MIND STILL CLOUDED W ANGER!

Why are there so many "PAP YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE" rumours spreading around huhhhh?

About them being a sore loser?

Straits Times, yes, govt controlled newspaper. Very likely to be a propaganda for Singaporean citizens.

Soooooo, everybody's turning to TheOnlineCitizen for the so-called reliable news.

Yes, some are true but NOT ALL.

Really wished that people could get their facts right before spreading those rumours.

>>>>> Like the OMG RUBBISH LEFT UNCLEARED IN ALJUNID GRC BECAUSE IT NOW BELONGS TO THE WORKERS PARTY.

( http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/singaporescene/aljunied-residents-dismiss-uncleared-rubbish-claims-073246615.html )

and no, I did not just read from there but had the facts backed by friends and strangers who said it's A BULL-EFFING-SHIT.

Wah lao eh. Seriously guys? I'm sure this GE2011 is a wake-up call for the PAPs, seeing so many people getting so pissed off with them. Who in the right mind will still want to aggravate the citizens further and doing all these childish stuff?

I know some of the policies that were passed previously had done damaged to some. Like the sudden influx of foreigners for example.

But can everybody stop having the hate-PAP mindset and believe every single shit that has been spreading around?

Unless the news came from a WP member about how PAP disagree with them on some VALID issues.

Really please get the facts right. =(

Lastest I heard about residents can only meet the WP members at the void decks.

But why the news does not telly to the rumours?

( http://www.straitstimes.com/GeneralElection/News/Story/STIStory_668224.html )

Straits Times lied?

Cannot be because the WP can make noise if the reported news is a not true!! How much Straits Times want to be a govt-loving newspaper, but such news cannot lie, right?

=(

Really urge everybody to see what happens in 5 years time. Think rationally. And changes dont just happen overnight. Weigh the pros and cons to every action being carried out ok?

PS// As much as I'm upset over the loss of George Yeo (yes, he's getting overpaid) but he has been doing his part too that residents who seeked for his help love him! (yes, the salary is not comparable to what he had been doing), I'm happy that the WP won because at least they can "keep an eye" on the govt.

My Little Note on GE2011

That's precisely MY point on why I said many opposition party has the STYLE but NO feasible plans.

It's not just to BRING UP THE FAULTS, just to 'sway' the voters to support them,
or having the GUTS to challenge the ministers.

or NOT giving OPPOSITION the CHANCE.

Errrrr. So you say they need the CHANCE to get into the parliament to say what they are going to do? But don't you think that we need to understand what they want to do before allowing them to take care of Singapore?

Wah so easy, next time I will just speaking up (in a stern tone) and highlight the problems so as to get the how $$$million zillion$$$ salary the government is getting. Don't need to say my next course of action, just tell them to give me chance and I will prove. Maybe I will. HMMM.

A good policy makers will provide THE NEXT COURSE OF ACTION in the problems that have been highlighted.

And let me emphasize again that these are just MY OPINION - You don't have to agree with me.

I happen to just see this article on http://www.scidev.net and like wow, I can relate to this.

(You can click on the picture for a bigger view and type in the URL to read the whole article.)

Then again, everybody view things differently. I would just like to justify why I've been whining about the only few good opposition party (I FEEL IT'S FEW OK. THAT'S WHAT I FEEL. YOU DONT HAVE TO EFFIN AGREE.) that is present in this current General Election 2011.

On a side note// I strongly support people voting for a GOOD opposition party (I'm pretty sure my definition of a good opposition party has been emphasized many times. Concrete plans, darling. Not just talk and talk and talk to sell yourself, kthxbye.) so that they can 'control' the PAP, in preventing Singapore from becoming a monopolise state.

Vote Wisely

I'm supposed to be rushing my assignments right now, BUT I JUST NEED TO VOICE SOMETHING OUT!!!!!!

It's linked to the previous post I did on my disagreement on a superuber welfare carebear state.

PLEASE.

I believed nobody, nobody at all is incompetent to improve their lifestyle, even if you are disabled or just down in luck.

It's about your will-power. I understand that it is hard, because many times such has been running through my head;

"If I get caught in a car accident I would rather die then to be disabled."

But, think about it, why let your disability bring you down?

Easy to say, I know. I'm not sure if I can even do it but seriously, I do not think that other people should help you in terms of monetary IF you are not even willing to help yourself.

Probably to give you encouragement to bring yourself together again.

For disabled people, why should they care about what other people think? If you really had wanted to help yourself, just ignore how people look at you. Do you live for them? No.

Some honorable disabled people:

I really despise people who wallow in self-pity.

And seriously, the welfare in SG is considerably good, especially for the needy people.

Please see link to various policies that have been carried out.

(If you can't click, copy & paste http://app1.mcys.gov.sg/Assistance.aspx?tid=115 to your URL bar.)

Another thing, $400 allowance is given to the low-income family.

It is definitely not enough for people who wants to live in COMFORT. But how is that not enough for your basic needs?

Furthermore, you can have free medical care, subsidy for housing, UTILITIES EVEN, etcetc.

Even hospital bills you can have huge subsidies or even have it fully subsidized.

Besides, you can even get training grants so that you can join the workforce again. Even disabled people (mute, deaf, low iq, etc) can get assistance for job employment.

I am really against throwing free money at them. I would gladly volunteer (which I had wanted to do previously at NKF whilst waiting to study in Australia but the compulsory 'orientation' came too late and I had to leave for my studies) and encourage them, donate food to those who need that.

It's about educating them people, education. Not doing charity work.

ALOT of people in Australia are abusing their benefits because it is such a welfare state. This causes laziness because they are given very good monetary support.

They have absolute ZERO determination to help themselves.

What's the point? It's like this quote: "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime".

It's just few links in which BF, being a very good assistant, helped me googled. LOL.

To those who had agreed with Nicole Seah's note on Singapore's health care system

(See link on her FB note).

And continuing from my tweet. Decided not to spam there just in case it creates as an annoyance to some of my friends.

OK.
Seriously guys, before you blindly agree with her and not even knowing how blessed we are as compared to other country, please stop getting mesmerized with how beautiful she had pieced everything together but look into the content.
(I had to agree that she is way more literate than the current PAP girl TPL that everyone is mocking at.)

I am just annoyed at how some people just compare the two ladies and FULL STOP. Ok, it's only natural since they are the youngest candidates.

But I strongly feel that everybody will had to look at the group as a whole before placing your votes.

I was just discussing with BF and a friend of ours yesterday at how we should start worrying about the future of Singapore because some retards are even comparing the looks of the two politicians and started "liking" the prettier one. And how they are WOWED by her beautifully scripted notes on FB but (I feel) with little context or evidence to back things up?

I will not say that our healthcare system is cheap but it is definitely affordable. True, probably the rich Singaporeans are able to enjoy better healthcare but at least the poor still get attended to.
If you get cheaper health care, it may lead to higher taxes to all of us. It might also caused people to forgo their health.
Our healthcare system are considerably efficient. I will not say that it is the best as it is definite that there should be a room for improvement, like what everything in life should.

Do you know in Australia, they had their medical bills are covered by their Medicare? Which means, SOMETIMES I CAN'T EVEN GET AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE THE DOCTOR DESPITE CALLING THEM AT LIKE 7AM+ BECAUSE IT IS FULLY BOOKED.
Not just to one clinic, but probably my whole suburbs. So hello to the hospitals.

It seemed that people are abusing the services because they are being taxed very highly because of such privileged services. So might as well make use of the free services, right? Even my lecturers are complaining because people do not care much about their health since it's the govt who cover the cost, WHY CARE?

And govt are able to do so because they imposed heavy taxes on their residents.

I'm stating from my experience I had in AU (USA & Canada accord to BF who had friends there and are complaining about it too).

So, cheaper health care does not necessary means good. Anyway, SG already has a polyclinic which I feel is good for the lower income people. So what if you have to wait? At least you get treated.

Nevertheless, I agree that an improvement should be done. But probably to have better health education (in which I feel SG is doing very well on that already to have the compulsory Health Education subject during our childhood) on a more in-depth sickness like chronic diseases and such? I think there is nothing much to address on the cost so frankly speaking, I find it redundant.

Ok, that's just my point of view.
