im disappointed with both parties, ruling n opposition. however, at least the ruling is doing something coming up with plans to try alleviate the situation. the latter critises but has no concrete or feasible constructive counter proposals.

look at the current episodes, sgd100bio jux like that! assuming we have 5 mio citizens, thats 20,000 each. assuming we support the 10,000 lowest income families with sgd1,000 cash a month, its sgd10mio a month, sgd120mio a year. sgd1.2bio can support 10,000 lowest income family with 1,000 a month for 10years! thats giving a lot of ppl some hope and chance to survive n not down the slippery path of negative spiral.

however, other than some petty political sniping, have our opposition mentioned that in parliament? if the opposition is in for the sake of being one, its a bit pointless in my humble opinion.

having said that, the ruling party has to admit its shortcomings and try to finetune some of its "elitist" policies. not every scholar are borne with a trading/investment midas touch and are highly suitable to be one. so do give other capable singaporean non scholars a chance in managing and investing the country's wealth. sometimes its the "non scholars" who happens to be the best business, public, private leaders n entrepreneurs.
