What are the most serious problems faced by our society and citizens....high housing costs, high coe, job insecurity, low fertility rate, rising inequality and poverty. While do not expect things to be perfect, I expect things to improve but these serious problems just get worse every year. Why? Itvhas been more than 10yrs ago the PAP said they are committed to solving these problems yet they have gotten worse. Even the most ardent fans of the PAP system cannot deny the facts.
Let's go through each and feel free to correct me if I get any thing wrong..
1. High housing costs. 4 room flats being sold at above 1M is the latest phenomena. The PAP has aaid it is concerned about houaing costs causing Singaporeans to have high debts. But they keep importing people until the housing and rental market become ao tight. The rise in cost is passed to Singaporeans.
2. Poor job security. These come in various forms including ageism where older workers cannot find jobs. 10yrs ago the PAP.said it is committed to solving this problem ....today the problem is much worse.
Why does this happen?
Here again the PAP is the one causing the problem with its policies by allowing companies access to pools.of younger foreigner workers at the same time claiming it wants to solve the ageism problem!!! When companies hmthe choice kf younger foreigner workers which they prefer, older Singaporeans don't stand a chance.
3. Low fertility. The PAP for.lasf 20yrs claimed they are doing what they can to improve fertility but fertility keeps getting lower and it threatens the Singaporean core as our population shrinks relative to the total population . Yet when one looks at the root cause of low fertility.
The main cause of low fertility is high population density. The PAP claims it wants to improve fertility but year after year they adopt policies that make Singapore more crowded causing population density. If you are serious about solving a problem you need to address the root cause. But PAP just makes things worse.
One can go through more of these problems and you discover bad policies are behinds every single one of them causing things to deteriorate year after year.
I find the PAp cannot be trusted to solve our social problems and their leadership makes things worse.
You think Oppositions can meh?
