Total Policy Reset

Lawrence Wong talked about "reset" but up till now, I am still not quite sure what is installed in his "reset".

Over the decades, PAP has been meddling with quite a number of key policies and intertwined them in a very complex way that deviated from their original good intents.

Sometimes the spin off impacts from these policy meddling are enormous so much so that they added more problems to the whole balancing act.

I always say PAP has lost its way and moral compass because they are too obsessed with solving current problems by kicking down other less obvious problems down the road.

CPF and HDB are the two main pillars of PAP's long standing political capital. Ironically, both of them are not originated from PAP itself but an inherited good policy framework from others, namely British Colonial administration and David Marshall.

The enactment of the Land Acquisition Act has enhanced the success of HDB.

However when PAP sets to intertwine CPF with HDB policies, that's where the troubles begin.

Some people may think it's a great idea to use CPF to buy HDB but it will ultimately compromise on retirement financing.

If there is anything needs to be reset urgently, it's the interwined CPF HDB policies.

I shall start to talk about this complex issues (again, since GE2011) for the coming weeks and months.

Lawrence Wong will have to equip himself with iron will and great courage to reset and unwind these messed up policies of his predecessors.

Else, I will only see him as putting up lips service.

  • RESET:

    It’s so simple.
    All your money already collected. No count. Start collecting money fresh from the start. This is RESET.

    This is not a joke. The gov works this way.

    LW and his team will not take any drastic actions. We, the man on the street, know that drastic actions are needed to correct the problems that had been festering for decades such as asset enhancement that turns out to be price inflation with its plethora of problems.

    The MIW will not solve any of these problems because they had a vested interest in keeping these problems alive. Guess who is the biggest winner when land assets inflate exponentially? Solving these problems will only hurt the MIW’s own interests. That is why we are stuck with these issues elections after elections. If you ever borrow money from ah longs, you think you can ever convince them to lower their interest rate?

    You can’t reset ah longs, unscrupulous landlords or power-mad/self-serving leaders; they all belong to the same category i.e. opportunistic humans who feed off other humans. Good luck convincing a parasite that it should not do what it is doing.

  • Game over for PAP:

    The reason why LW call it “reset” is because LHL term cause too much
    anger. 61% vote I think is very low vote result since 1965, maybe lowest, I did not check. LHL is son of LKY so he should have higher vote from LKY supporters and lovers as “crown prince” or “rightful successor” but 61% is very low and tell a different story. So it means LKY, LHL and PAP effect has lost power and magic. Like CCS said the votes for PAP become lower and lower and PAP is in danger. So LW market new strategy “reset” in hope to attract stupid voters who think really everything has reset and change.
    Recently, PAP has JSS could be because they predict or they already know massive retrenchment coming or many people will be out of job. JSS is an excuse to say they did something and provide enough help.
    However, we know high inflation and high interest rate period now is going to destroy many governments around the world. So voters suffering will vote out all these governments because of job losses by high inflation and interest rate and people suffering from high prices and high interest payment will vote out their governments too. Suffering will make voters see the truth. Belief in PAP will erode and PAP will face game over in future elections.

    It is the HongKong problem happening in sinkieland.
    Oldies enjoying all the benefits like cheap housing mederka/pioneer packages etc.
    In order for the ILLUSION of wealth to continue. HDB cannot price their flats based on cost-plus basis.
    So oldies ‘feel rich’ in their lease -decayed no-land-ownership flats but the youngsters are forced to hold the baby.
    i.e. pay so-called market subsidy price for HDB BTOs…with land priced -in.
    In HK, a lot of youngsters saw the problem and migrated–the loaded dice game not worth playing.
    Will young sinkies also vote with their feet or are they too dumb to see the con and vote papigs.

    The public housing system is so MESSY!

    WITH EDUCATED ANALYSIS OF SO MANY G’s (EHG, CHG, PHG) DISHED OUT AFTER MEANS TESTING, “it highlights a troubling aspect of the current system: higher-income households buying resale flats are awarded significantly more government support than those purchasing BTO flats, which are meant to be the more affordable and accessible option for Singaporeans.

    The intent behind Singapore’s housing grants is to make homeownership more accessible
    and affordable, but the current system seems to fall short of
    this goal for middle-income families, with the distorted
    public housing system being patched up with grants and
    subsidies.”

    Take heed of what LKY’s younger son LHY once said, “Today’s PAP is no longer the PAP of my father. It has lost its way.”

    To continue under the “illusion of security” is far worse though the “path may be uncertain & the fear of unknown is real” & “like a battered woman who finally finds the courage to leave, Singaporean voters must find the strength to Vote For Change.”

    But,of course, WP PREFERS TO THINK HIGHLY OF ITSELF AS ANNOINTED CO-DRIVER$ OF PAP AND SO AVOID OTHER OPPO SGS AS IF THEY ARE VERMINS???

    Talk is easy!

    Why don’t you understand how much sacrifices & risks to take to join any opposition!

    Let us continue to encourage the works of any opposition & never force all opposition parties to be part of alliance!

    Let it evolve over time & with whichever opposition parties voted into Parliament they will be encouraged & strengthen one another to unite behind issues & policies that are good for workers & seniors! They can then see the NEED FOR ALLIANCE vs Pappy!

    Pappy WILL SIMPLY brush off & silence the opposition as they are the majority in Parliament!

    LET’S START TO VOTE OPPOSITION AT THE UPCOMING GE! TO ALL VOTERS GET OUT OF THE “BATTERED WOMAN SYNDROME” & VOTE FOR CHANGE!

    What you say about “sacrifices”,i fully appreciate and concur.
    Trouble is if oppo sgs gave gone so far,why not give it all?
    The way i see it,oppo sgs DO NOT TRUST EACH OTHER AND THEREFORE THE INERTIA TO TAKE THAT “LEAP OF FAITH” TOGETHER.

    Now,it is ok for sgs like you and me as we want to see some semblance of oppo in Parliament but this is not the case with majority of voters who are torned between the “familiar” and placing their trust on an oppo party when oppo seem not to trust each other.
    And,THAT IS THE TRUTH.

    Until oppo sgs come together,the PAP will continue to win.
    Many think that younger,more educated sgs vote for oppo; i tell the opposite is true.
    “Boomers” are the ones with the guts.
    And,they are getting impatient.
    WHY BOTHER EVEN TO VOTE?

    My humble 2 cents’ bet remains that unless oppo SYNERGISE and bring about a qave of “trust” among “fence-sitters” to veer towards the oppo,the GE outcome will
    A REPEATED PATTERN.

    OPPO MUST UNITE TO WIN MEANIGFULLY.
    You can disagree but i stick to my opinion.
    The RESULTS OF GE WILL BE THE PROOF.

    CHEERIO.

    I know where you are coming from.

    It is not easy to unite individual opposition party because they have different manifesto.

    Maybe they can work towards UNITY in addressing GE ISSUES that are BAD PAPPY POLICIES which HIT & HURT most voters such as COL, GST, PRICEY “PIGEON HOLE” Public Houses, FTs, etc!

    EVEN GOLIATH CAN BE DEFEATED BY DAVID WITH A SLING & STONE!

    IF THE OPPOSITION CAN COME UP STRONG IN STRATEGY & HIT PAPPY’S WEAK POINTS WITH THE RIGHT FOCUS, IT CAN BE DONE TO BRING DOWN PAPPY!

    VOTE FOR CHANGE AT THE UPCOMING GE!

    I from AJ.
    I voted PAP’s strong team if GY out although i seriously thought GY was better OM material than LEE Ah Long.

    But what has WP done for CHANGE?
    Are you from AJ?
    If not,is your ward PAP?
    If so,stop talking c**k.

    I think WP can only perform by allying with SDP N PSP.
    Else,all the CO-DRIVING has proven to be waste of time!

    @VFC

    I sincerely hope oppo will combine their limited resources,be it human or financial capital.
    It is a “well-funded” PAP team the oppo are fighting.
    It is becoming an increasingly uphill task,what with POFMA added to GRC.
    GRC?
    Do we need GRC?
    See,we even gave the majority vote to Tharman,ranked as ‘minority’ below the more numerous malays.
    GRC IS AN EXCUSE TO STUMBLE THE OPPO.
    With GRC removed,MANY PAPpies including not a few office-bearer$ will get kicked out.

    The only way for oppo,if they seriously want to win more seats, is by forming a STRONG AND TRUSTWORTHY ALLIANCE.
    “TRUSTWORTHY” means being more acceptable to those that shun oppo all these years.

    Only a REAL ROCK-SOLID OPPO ALLIANCE CAN FOSTER TRUST FROM VOTERS AND WIN MORE SEATS FOR OPPO as a group.

    FRAGMENTATION IS A FORM OF OPPO WEAKNESS.
    To convince voters to trust the oppo as@a group ,oppo must demonstrate TRUE SOLIDARITY AND BROTHERHOOD.
    There is no other way to do this.
    It is not easy but it is a necessity for VICTORY.

    AL WP voters are strong & courageous going against the odds even at risk of losing out to other pappy zones in town upgrades & improvements etc!

    I salute all the WP voters who hang on to the belief that CHANGE will come when pappy is defeated just like David take down Goliath!

    Alliance does not mean all opposition parties come under one party WP or PSP or SDP or PV etc but grouping of few parties like The People’s Alliance which is a 4P alliance. Someone can form another Alliance like The Freedom Alliance which is a 5P Alliance or The SG Alliance which can be a 6P alliance!

    If you understand the ground sentiment correctly it is unity of Opposition in speaking of GE hot issues – policies that antagonise most voters which will win their hearts to vote for opposition!

    Remember how LKY antagonised the AL voters by saying they have 5 years to repent if they vote for WP! That year GE2011 GY who led the pappy team lost AL GRC to WP!

    Tio boh?

  • Money Launderers Coming:

    ”Flood of new F&B brands, players leaves trail of local casualties”
    especially overseas players such as those from China. ”

    More money launderers are coming our way.
    They play the casinos. residential markets, shop houses now eateries…
    What is next.
    MAS better wake up!
    Do not get caught with your pants down again.
    Money launderers love your sin dollar
    and ‘your ease of doing business’

    rice:
    Now,if we take away all the Delivery boys and girls job like Grabbers and Pandas,it will be clear that “job creation” falls way,way short of “augmented” Population “growth(?)”.

    In fact,sgs should be holding the job$ given to so-calledFTs,more appropriately sconimic scavengers that come here by the jumbo planeloads.

    The depletion of Local Talent will prove the FT POLICY ,as implemented over the LHL era,is very seriously ERRANT.

    It was not about LKY “antagonising” the AJ voters about making them repent.
    It was all about SINCERITY TO SEE CHANGE that AJ voters voted for WP.
    IT IS DEFINITELY NOT ABOUT THE “GREATNESS” of WP too.

    Half-baked Alliance of oppo parties will omly mean the same half-baked outcomes for them at GE .
    If you want voters to trust you,you need to show you have TRUST among yourselves as oppo.
    If oppo shows lack of UNITY ,would voters then have faith in them and unite behind them?
    The scenario is obvious.

    Well,i still think oppo must show resolve by forming a Real Alliance;anything less will lead to nowhere.

    And,WP may face a tougher time at AJ.
    The consituents living there are not exactly the same as in prior GEs.

    Sincerely,i find NO REASON FOR OPPO NOT TO UNITE AS ,like you say,THEY SEEM TO SHARE A COMMON PURPOSE.
    However,the RELUCTANCE TO UNITE MEANINGFULLY IS MORE OF PAROCHIALISM AND LACK OF HUMILITY.

    HUMILITY WILL LEAD TO TRUE WISDOM AND WISE DECISIONS.

    CHEERIO BRO!

    Recall last GE’s results at AJ for WP vs PAP.
    Marginal majority,almost equalised and why?
    And,that PAP TEAM is not even of GY’s team calibre at all!

    Go figure sincerely…
