To all my friends,
Please think carefully when you vote... yes it’s true the current govt might not be popular at the moment... Opposition sound like the in thing... but please.... please check on each parties background, don't just vote the opposition because you think it’s cool to do it.
Think of what each party can do for you. Don't think of the short term benefits only and make your future generation suffer...
Don't choose the easy way out... We are not the only country in this world that are suffering from inflation, we are not the only country with the highest housing price that stop or block ppl from buying house.
Please think really hard, we have to focus on economy, because if we don't, we will be push around by other ppl, we won't have any bargaining power... coz we don't have any natural resources. We don't have lots of land, the only thing we have is human capital. But even so, we don’t really have enough human resources... 6 million people is not alot... Just look at Israel. We share very similar background and situation. If they too have no economy, they would cease to be a country long time ago. As we all know money is power... without economy, we will be nothing soon... very soon.
Yes, our time has change, we are a developed country, we achieve many first in the world, we did many impossible things and most importantly we survive. However because of this, everyone becomes complacent. Now we are more concern with raising cost and inflation, more concern with whether we can own a car, more concern with a lot of materialistic enjoyment. But really don’t forget… if we have an unstable govt… who do you think will come invest in Singapore... we rely a lot on foreign investment… do you think we can survive on our own, without natural resources… without land… Please don’t forget how we survive for this many years…. Please don’t forget how we build our country. Please do comparison with the right country…. Don’t use Australia, uk or Europe social benefit as comparison… we are simply too different… they can afford to lose sometimes, because of their vast resources… but we can’t afford to lose.
Yes, our raising cost of living and housing cost is raising, but we are still a lot better than many many countries that most people live in rented house most of their live… so if you want to do a comparison, do a comparison with countries that has limited lands… and they do suffer with traffic congestion… so go on do a comparison with them. Of cause, you can argue that the govt can do better. And of cause they should, and they should keep on improving.
But however, if you think because the current govt is not competent, and you decide to vote for the opposition thing without doing any background check on them and what they are capable of… you are just killing your own future. So please, I beg you, all my friends, to do a check on every candidate… make sure you choose the capable right people... and not for short term benefit only.
Please remember, we are always fighting for survival… locally or globally.
