Something is truly rotten in the state of S'pore when 95% of jobs created last year and 89% in 2022 went to foreigners.

If everyday look at the hole, one day also die in the hole. 
Open leg is what you said, or maybe imagining.

In other countries, the citizens become unemployed because there are not enough jobs for citizens.

Singapore is the only country in the world that there are enough jobs for citizens but the citizens become unemployed because the jobs
are taken by foreigners

I have been gainfully employed for the past 30 years, but have seen many of my ex-colleagues, former classmates and friends laid off in their 40s and 50s who are now underemployed or unemployed in spite of possessing degrees. Not everyone is as fortunate as us.

What happened to S'poreans 1st?  When 95% of jobs created last year and 89% in 2022 went to foreigners then we all know that it is merely lip service!

S'pore has become a nation of drivers - PHV and taxi drivers to be exact!

Senior Minister will fix up the Opposition so it doesn't drop below 60%.

it is impossible to be loyal to Singapore when foreigners can easily replace you for the job.

When you get older, Singapore is not a home but becomes a burden to you.

The problem is that 60% of voters chose greedy individuals who committed treason while in power.

60% consists of significant pioneer generation LKY supporters.

when all of them pass away (another 10 years), the 60% will drop significantly.

when the govt said they would set up poll stations in nursing homes, I knew PAP was targeting the support of PG generation in nursing homes

only younger voters will change the 60% number, older voters will remain with PAP.

once PG and Merdeka generation are dead, there will be no more 60%
