Too much had been written on the nets on the recent Ministers Pay Hike.So I will not write on what all Singaporean should already know about their government that they voted for.
After all these sagas over the years, I am wondering what are the benefits of being a Singaporean after all? And what the government is doing for the “Stayers”?
When I look back the years, I see fares of public transport going up countless time, GST went up from 0% to 7%, medical cost going up, people being retrenched and got a pay cut during SARS and 911, people found new ways of killing themselves with the MRT, gross management of charities (NKF, Youth Challenge), plan to increase our population to 6millions with Foreign Talents, cost of basic food stuff are going up……………..
This makes me think more seriously on migrating… I may be a second-class citizen in another country but I may be better of being a “1st class” citizen in Singapore.
Just a couple of weeks ago, I was watching this charity drive on TV. They got several patients to relates on national TV how poor they are and how they need the help from the man on the street with donations. Yesterday, just saw the first wave of the gross increment for our government. How ironic…

Enough said already. Dun forget they are the government and decision is already made to increase the civil service pay and all these talks and debates are just to further enhance the fact that they WILL be paying themselves much more...its not a debate on whether they are listening to the people or not, which obviously they are not...so since decision is already made long before already, nothing much to debate or say anymore.
Guess indeed their income gap has narrowed between themselves and the top earners like what they had been advocating to do at the last election...
