TR EMERITUS

How else will they gather more supporters? Simon can only whine and whine, and in that whining process, drives the new voters more to that side. Unthinking, or a mole.

New citizens give up Singapore citizenship and emigrate to other countries?

Can not rule out the possibility!

But this would happen mostly to people who could easily return to their countries of origin to start afresh. Caucasians from countries in Europe, America, Australia, New Zealand are more likely to do that than those people from countries with very strict and highly selective citizenship laws.

People with permanent residential status are more likely to give up their rights to permanent stay in Singapore for various reasons, not fully committed in Singapore should be the prime cause of action.

Given with a base population of almost 4 million people, over a period of 4 years, an increase of less than ten thousands new voters is not a very big increase. We have more than twenty thousand local life births annually, don’t we? A more relevant question to ask is why only about 9 thousand new voters, what happened to the rest of them?

FTs know they are here to compet for and take your jobs.

Make no mistake, they are not doing anyone but themselves a favor.

They use Spore to springboard to white countries.

Just like the foreign gym staff calling prospective employers during work hours.

Ever wonder why with a <1 TFR, eligible voters actually went up instead?

https://gutzy.asia/2024/07/15/singapores-birth-rates-decline-by-5-8-as-total-fertility-rate-drops-below-1/

Shouldn't the number of death (resulting in removal of voters) outpace the addition of new voters instead? The only explanation is new citizens!

We know that new citizens are used by the MIW as votebank for the longest time. In fact, upon giving out citizenship to these wannabes, the immigration authorities always stressed to them the importance of being loyal to the country and the party. Too late to do anything, we had been screwed.

The new citizens = 100% PAP votes.

The additional 16,000 PAP votes is just sidd dish.
The new PAP citizen votes in the 2.7m count must be of great assurance to lhl.

One reason why so many more private apartments were built all over the island in order to accommodate these new citizens.
It is also no wonder why HDB are not building enough flats for Singaporeans & takes at least a 5 years wait to move into one.

If PAP is smiling & high five behind closed doors because of the hundreds of thousand new citizen votes, be assured that there maybe equal number of Singaporeans who will use their votes this time to bring PAP to task.

We shall wait & see.

Something very wrong with all the policies re FTs, new citizens & the $million HDB resale flats!

But pappy govt say “what’s wrong with collecting more money!”

Wouldn’t worry too much about the new guys lah to be honest. Supposedly 20k to 22k are given citizenship yearly but it’s puzzling why PAP can’t even get 70% of the votes in the last election don’t you think? After people online saying new citizens outnumbering us true blues you would logically think that PAP will easily win 70% and above in any election since the new dafts, errrr, citizens would just blindly vote for them is that not true?

So it’s either that there aren’t as many new citizens converted per year or, heaven forbid, the new guys aren’t as daft as PAP assumed and actually voted for the opposition oh wow!

Guiatr man will again try to frighten voters by saying coalition government bad lah, gridlock lah cannot smoothly do things lah etc etc. But look at it from another perspective and come to this realisation instead below.

It’s precisely why there is a stable government that the cost of living has shot up so much so fast. Same for why GST is at 9% now and wages have stagnated. A stable government has nothing and no one to oppose them whenever they want to do something detrimental, at most people will make a lot of noise but eventually the matter blows over.

So why give PAP the strong mandate that they are always asking for? Why bother with a majority in parliament when someone you know has been forced into driving for Grab or delivering makan? Might as well force them into a coalition government so that they cannot do whatever they want whenever they want is lagi better.

Clap, clap, …

2Daft2Live:
I don’t think I overlook anything. 21 years ago in 2003, the TFR is <1.35 which is below the replacement figure of 2 (it takes two to reproduce and a TFR of at least 2 to maintain the population). In fact since 1978, the TFR had always been below 2. So, the number of eligible voters should had fallen year by year. But it didn’t, you are the “appeared to be thinking” type, very common in SG….problem is I really don’t know what you guys are thinking.

It’s a Westener who warned that democracy could degenerate into “mob rule”, ruled by “philistines” supported by “the barbaric herd” (cf. Mathew Arnold). We see it now in the America and Donald Trump’s barbaric herd (oddly, boosted by “evangelical Christians”, Billy Graham’s son, of all persons!) American “democracy” has forgotten that, at crucial times, one has to be undemocratic in order to preserve democracy. There were rules in place to eliminate Trump, but it seemed, to those who had the power and means, that that would be undemocratic. And so, they have allowed democracy itself to now be threatened.

Not all “new” $itizens will vote for PAPPIE$ especially those who kena displaced and replaced by “NEW” PRs.
These new $itizens become like the trublu citizens they once replaced?

What the GOP is doing for 2 decades now (together with Fox News) is to give up this idea entirely, imagining that people will never accept their view on politics, and then MASSIVELY spread fake news to keep them voting for them anyhow.

This piece reminded me of a couplet written roughly 70 years ago. Here is the translation. “Democracy is a form of government in which you count but not WEIGH the voters!”. As to our (Singapore) present situation. Any fool can see it’s, essentially, an OLIGARCHY. Even the hoi polloi is aware of this, as is demonstrated by the 38.76%. For God’s sake, everyone knows it. Democracy has never been an end goal, something that happens once we solved all other problems and all become part of a “circle of common thought”, but a MEANS to solve them and get to a better, more thriving society as a whole.

At the same time, the extent to which a democracy is de facto installed, depends on two things: a Constitution that guarantees its pillars (separation of the 3 branches of government, freedom of speech and gathering, etc.), AND the active engagement of its citizens; SOMEONE willing to challenge the plebs’ (61.24%) patriotic hubris.

Since you repeat this false claim, it is worth pointing it out AGAIN. Don’t be so shameless as to claim other people’s credit. Pui again.

Greed breed stupidity. The 123 agreement study Singapore conduct is a strong signal and plan PAP wants to build nuclear power plant, aim to test the water of Singapore stand on nuclear power plant. PAP want to build nuclear power station to destroy Singapore and Singaporean health. Imagine one fine day, some nations and terrorists attack Singapore and bomb the nuclear power station or nuclear power station leak due to disaster, we will all die.
Greed has blind the eyes of PAP. Desire to make more money by lower electricity energy cost has make PAP ignore the health of Singaporeans and Singapore to take high risk. If Singapore still believe in PAP is the one who can make economy good and create jobs and Singapore will be doom without PAP, then it is greed breed stupidity. Vote in PAP in hope of making money while ignoring PAP stupidity and greed like their nuclear power plant plans will doom Singapore and Singaporeans.Time to wake up Singaporeans and vote out PAP before it is too late.

Don’t hide in cocoon, man!:
Nuclear power plants are everywhere in the world now.

Technology has advanced so much that nuclear power plants incident could be avoided and contained by careful planning and monitoring.

Small scale nuclear power plants is likely to become the most sought after solution for energy thirsty nations.

Singapore should seriously look into adopting small scale nuclear power plant as solution for ever increasing energy needs in the years to come.

Forgive them. Many of the postors here are old men/women who are still stuck with the 60s colonial mindset just like my old director.

Not everything is appropriate for risk taking. All that party is telling the whole world is last time they earned easy money and the industry wasn’t competitive. Now cannot cope therefore must sell their stake.

What risk are they taking? How many of them have worked with German stakeholders before? Not the NCM. Not LBH. Germans are not the most difficult people to work with but they are not on the easy side of the scale. Why Germans cannot take 49%? It’s because they don’t want their motions blocked, that simple.

Committing 100m in the next decade is nothing because the amount amortized over 10 years for social causes is not spectacular. In addition, the devil is in the details. We have no idea once the acquisition is complete, how they will get rid of locals from the industry or depress their renumeration silently. Might as well say that they have been resting on their laurels for donkey years thinking that the industry was as rosy as before. Why much higher social expenditure these days? Because they couldn’t rein in the COL and more lower income people in the midst?

Try asking that party to sell a ministry like ministry of trade or EDB to a foreign enterprise for 51% stake. It won’t be worth lesser than 2billion. Similar argument why MTI isn’t crucial to make the numbers for the nation. Try selling the whole national population and talent division to a foreign enterprise for 51% since our talents cannot make the fertility numbers and foreign talents are really so good. SPH also can sell instead of dumping 900m in 5 years down the drain to them. For SPH, it’s 180m per year and NTUC Income, it’s 10m per year.

We have many areas to sell. Just sell.

Relax:
To survive in the competitive industry, NTUC income also take risk (49% & 51%) and make changes, just wondering why singaporeans dont dare to take risk and make changes? Preserve social mission.

Response: Why should he resign? Is he not happy with the job? maybe you should ask him.

@”Every now and then in discussion he will bring up his NUS honour qualification and talk about his varsity days.”

Get your point now :-)

Relax:
What I mean is why singaporeans dont dare to take risk in voting and make changes, only having 51% stake, then can be the controlling party.

Everything is so expensive at NTUC now.
Still provide such poor service.
It is totally unacceptable.

Conclusion: Don’t buy loh. Go elsewhere.

NTUC FairPrice poor service.:
I have bad experience with NTUC FairPrice. I buy many things including big tray of eggs which cannot put in a single basket. When I went to the cash counter to pay, two cashiers said counter close and one cashier order me to pay using the machine cashier. The machine cashier cannot deal with big stuff not in a single basket. I feel the two cashiers are very rude and not customer friendly, they are free and they prefer to let me with big items using the cash machine instead of allowing me pay at the human cashier. All human cashier are close and I had no choice but to use the machine cashier. The machine cashier is lousy as it cannot deal with more than one baskets and big items as it has no place to put. I think the management of the NTUC should change or make better service in NTUC and employ better workers. Buyers who buy many stuffs in more than one basket are big customers and they did not allow them to be serve well as machine cashier cannot deal with more than one basket and no cashier, customers cannot pay. Singapore should provide high quality service and companies like NTUC should provide good customer service and employ good workers. Company like NTUC should not save money on service to make big profit. Everything is so expensive at NTUC now, they make good profit by sucking people money in the name of inflation and still provide such poor service. It is totally unacceptable.
