Honestly, it breaks my heart to imagine that the child is sick and cannot go to see a doctor. Or the old man who needs medical care and has no way of going to the clinic.

I would love to help a family in need. Take them out for a great dinner, pick them up with the car and take them for a ride. Something, anything to make their live a bit less stressfull.

My question is, how would I do that? I have tried many times to make contact with people in the heartlands, to no avail. It is almost as they don’t trust me, when all I want to do is give back to the ones who are less fortunate.

So, please can I get a suggestion on how to approach a family in need? I have no children, only my husband and I. I would love to take care and help somebody.

Our MM tells us SG is bringing in more expatriates so that they will pressure us Singaporeans to work harder. As if we are not working hard enough?

Before that, his son, during his Nataional Day speech, recounted the storey of how he met an 80+ year old woman who was working. And he encouraged us to never retire, to work till our deathbeds, so that Singapore Inc. can hold on to our hard earned CPF money for longer. What a load of crap man!

Politic is dirty business, why do you think so many people wants to get into politic? Most of them (with only a few exception) wants to get something out of it, mainly money and power. They are not there to help the people, but to exploit the power and influence that comes with it.

Why do governments in developed countries keep emphasising on population growth for future sustainence, hence accepting more new migrants? They need to keep the consumer size big – bigger consumer base means more tax (GST) and more investment from abroad. GDP is just another ‘con’cept developed by the rich to spin tales and measure potential earnings.

The type of migrants – mainly the high income earners i.e. professionals and labourers. One with the earning and spending power, the other to fill in the lower end jobs. Attract the rich and exploit the poor.

The world is becoming smaller. In future, countries will become big corportaion e.g. ‘Country Name’ with an Inc. Developed countries are listed in stocked exchange, where shares may be offered to everyone and anyone in the world. Citizenship will lose its meaning and priviledges, instead it will be classified as Platinium, Gold and Classic citizenship according to your credit limits. Thinks about it…it’s a possible reality.

What I meant was “the reality is far from that”, in lieu of “farther than that”.

People are living from paycheque to paycheque. Most of what we earn goes straight into the government coffers, in the guise of GST, ERP, TV licence, property tax and a hundred other ways they can invent to part us with our hard earned cash. At the end of the month, we are left with nothing.

Someone rejected this article as a propaganda to dissuade Malaysians from coming to SG. Firstly, why would the author do that? Secondly, why would we want Malaysians to come here anyway? Aren’t there enough Singaporeans raiding the Malaysian supermarkets and shops every week already? And in doing so, raising the prices in JB and thus their cost of living? Do we want the same to happen in Singapore?

The govt propaganda machine has done a good job of telling us we are living a contented life able to afford everything, but the reality is farther than that, sad to say.

About owning cars, 99% of people who drive cars do not actually own them. It is owned by the banks, until you finish paying up your loan. Even after that, you don’t really own it, until you pay for and buy a certificate of entitlement from Ah Kong. in effect, you do not own the car at all, you are only entitled to drive it until it expires and then the govt takes it away from you.

Don’t even get me started on public healthcare.

Still think we are living in a perfect country?
