Then in 1948 Mao war with chiang kai shek and cultural famine, in which 20 million chinese were killed causea another wave of poor chinesse refugees to singapore.

[@BreekeLo]

COE quota controls the number of cars on the road, not COE bidding. So do not be fooled by the PAP's BS that expensive COEs are for controlling car numbers in tiny SG. COE bidding is only for ensuring the rich like themselves get first priority to drive in SG. In other words, we can switch to a $0 COE balloting system today and the number of cars on the road will not change.

We want a change, not just in Singapore, but all over the rest of the suffering world. Simply because our little open Singapore is a microcosm of the world! Whatever happens elsewhere, we are affected. In terms of income inequality, corruption in big companies and government offices, infiltration of global criminal organisation, poor quality of work-life balances, religious and racial issues, AI challenges to society, deteriorating environment, world politicians acting irrational and war- like, etc. But of course, we are too small to influence globally so we focus on doing the best to solve issues for ourselves and hope that the rest of the countries do the same.

These videos are so inaccurate. If you’re a young married couple, you have a definite path to home ownership and guaranteed equity in 5 years. That’s the government selling you a 1m property for 400k, and gifting you 600k for upwards mobility. Which country in the world does that? And the title is young people are suffering? Did I also mention the CPF where the employer matches 20%, so essentially 1/3 of the income is set for YOUR retirement? At a compounding rate of 5%??? US and Europe can’t even afford to fund retirement. Again, and you think citizens are … suffering? If the evidence of money laundering points towards the country going to the dump, then are you saying Switzerland and other countries are better because there ISN’T money laundering? Or because they aren’t actioned upon and covered up? If you want to gripe about the country, at least mention something well researched. Cost of cars is sky high and YET people are buying them. What do you think will happen if we sell cars for cheap? Demand and supply in a land locked country?

A very good video reflecting what i 9:45 s actually happening. The govt. sucks the poor citizens to the hilt and the gives them peanuts each year.

True housing n cars are costly here but they can't pick on these alone. Inflation is happening worldwide now. I must say that people in UK & America are even more unhappy than our people. Money laundering happens everywhere and unreported. Yes, China is a great power in Asia, but we Asians need to be friendly to all not only China if these one-sided reporters were to find out further more.😊 These reporters are just bias, unhappy & jealous of our fast development n advancement from a small fishing village to an affluence 1st world country. They're unable to interfere with our legal system and that's why they report all the negatives things of S'pore. The expatriates working & living here will agree with me.

I'm a singaporean and I can't decide what to be having for my 5 meals per day. Being a singaporean means I have access to a healthcare system that makes our life expectancy one of the highest in the world. In other words, Singaporeans are burdened with the need to plan for retirement. What a life of suffering indeed. In comparison, people from neighbouring countries have it easy. Not being able to afford a decent meal means they are not troubled with the need to make choices. A shorter life expectancy means they will die before reaching retirement, thereby, eliminating the need to plan for retirement altogether! I'm sure all of them must feel so blessed that they need not suffer the fate as Singaporeans do.
