I think becuase the GE is coming soon , thats why PAP has been doing this , to make people think that they are successful in ruling Singapore and vote for them , in other words i think the chances of opposition winning this time round could be lesser & lesser becuase PAP even planned to introduce MRT to JB in the year 2018 , so if people now were to vote for opposition , i think this well-liked plan of MRT going into JB will be abolished...
what are your views?
MY view is, by the time MRT is completed, LKY or you may not be around, so hy worry so much, between now and 2018, then will be another election, i say we vote PAP now, then when they build the MRT, the next election we vote them out, that will be the best solution.
I hope that by the next election after this coming one, they dun come out and said they will build underground sea water channel to batam
Aiyah...Msia so poor...need us to build MRT for them....poor thing.
We so good neighbours...since our GDP is 10 time higher than Msia.... no choice lor. must help them. What to do, our PM (and ex-PM, ex-PM) so capable and give us so good life......so must share our wealth abit so they will not be too jealous like thier former Mr M....purposely delay this delay that.
Mr N are smarter...if not the CIQ issue go to international court like White Lighthouse like that...end up Msia got nothing. LKY so kind to give Mr M something but this beggar after 1997 come here to beg for 3 B, but Mr Goh don lend. Mr M than go back and cow father and cow mother. Don move KTM. Don sell sand. Don sell water......
end up Johor got lesser and lesser revenue and need to send few hundred thousands optrs by bus load here to work and remit money to help thier economy. Also, even high grade food need to export across the bridge for us to eat while they eat those cannot qualify for our consumption.... Cheer LKY, GCT, LSL

Thing is, they need us more than we need them today truth to be told.
They're hoping to get our investment.

Dr M is not a fan of capitialists, Singapore being a captilist country where the rich get sricher and the elite gets more elited, is not in the idealogy of Dr M.In fact, if you look at Malaysia where Dr M ruled for many years, he managed to reduce the income gap, removed the sultans rights, created jobs for the poors and controlled the financial insitutions before falling into foreign hands. Jealousy is not a good word to use on Dr. M. Singapore is uniquely small, the ability of our govt to rule this country cannot compare to leaders of other countries who have to rule a large population with a large land and borders. LKY may not even survive till today if he is to rule Malaysia, indonesia or thailand..sometime, it is of good luck that he landed here, a small land with a small population and a very high paid
Yes, he created jobs using low wage policy.
But all the problems arise today. They can't compete w/ anyone anymore.
Subsidy is bankrupting e country.

If u do not know, the UMNO & MCA especially are scared of LKY back then.
For advocating equality under Malaysian Malaysia, he was getting attention.
Mr M always scare of LKY and his successors bcos they did such a good job. If they rule Msia, then Mr M no where to go or stand.
Compare LKY did for Tg Pagar vs Mr M for Kedah (homwtown)......Kedah is still a kampung....
Mr M is only a copy cat ( M = Meow)....but poor in copying. Whatever LKY and his successors did, he want to copy. Meow meow here and meow meow there..... but only can achieve 10% ...........and this 10% already let the oran alsi so happy and satisfied. But not for the minority race who chosed to be PR here or work in China or other part of more advanced nation than back water Msia....who Mr M and cronies rule the M....... so long got some peanuts eat already very happy. Can swing from tree to tree Merrily....or just listen to the Meowing .......
Although Spore is small........ BUT we have enough places and jobs for those smart Msian to be PR here. Msia so much bigger, but no enough jobs or stayable home to live.
Msia so big....but thousands of students travel here to study daily as no good schools in Msia. Spore so small but GDP 10X bigger than Msia. Spore so small but SIA profits is 20X bigger than MAS......Spore CPF is 100X bigger than Msia EPF.....
Spore small...but own 50X bigger co and land than Msia.
Spore small in land but has 50X more than Msia ( by owning land overseas)
There are many million more examples and many thanks to LKY and his successors. if Msia was rule by LKY.... Msia will be 2nd biggest economy now and japan 3rd....
Luckily Mr M not so smart and his citizens mainly oran alsi.....therefore Spore can move fwd in leap and bound while Mr M country is a farm for us and let us do farm stay during holidays.
w/out Mr M, we will not have farm products from Msia. Mr M has maintain Msia as farmers toiling hard for his neighburs.

you have underestimated Dr M, and also remember that Malaysia is a Muslim state, LKY can never be able to rule it. The malaysians are different in a way to singaporeans is that they can take the hard knock of life much better than singaporeans, on the other hands, Muslim tends to choose to live in a simple way, you dun disturb me, i dun bother you kind of style. They are not going to be jealous about singapore economy moving up and faster than them, as the crisis that singapore can also fall faster than them too, so there is a price to pay for being moving up and up faster than the others, secondly, once you move up and up, peoples like you and me gain from it, but people in the lower income group will be getting further and further away from us, leaving a big hole in the social fabric.
Dr M do not advocate to such disparity, he helps the poor of malaysia to move up before granting the rich to make more money, he makes the sultans and their sons give up most of their power and be punish same as commoners, he is not worry about singapore progression, as he said before, everything have a price to pay, our religion and culture, way of thinking and behaving are different from Singapore. Singaporeans had to pay a high price from getting to the top and a higher price to maintain at that position, they are too expose to the west.
it does not matter that much if PAP is in govt or not, what really matters that the MRT to JB MUST be built, it has to be done so that it can create more business and jobs for both sides.
i hope the opposition also have to note this issue.

and also more crimes. Please be mindful of what had been said at the retreat btw Najib and LHL, they are both enjoying golfs, sauna, wine, gals, jacuzzi and nice relaxing massage, so in a way, during this time, everything said will be nice and agreeable. But things will be the same when they meet officially on the table ya.
if you dun believe me, just look at the half way bridge at JB checkpoint, you will understand it
MRT need to be build until johor so folks here can go there for farm stay. After all, there are mainly farm...... so those farmers are not so intelligent o use MRT.... Spore is a city for work and stay.... across the brigde is for us to do farm stay during holidays and visit the oran alsi to feed them bananas
why need to go farm to see the animals, u walks around singapore can see alots of animals walking around liao...

The situation back in the 1960s wasn't as wat u mentioned.
Spore animals are from across the bridge... these are smart animals who cross here to become PR. Not so smart come here to work in factory.
We need to go across Msia to see the farm and to pity them for not having such a capable govt. Luckily those who chose to stay in Msia are contended to be our farmers.... BN become our Farmer heads and zoo keeper taming those oran alsi
Aiyah....Malaysia already helped Singapore to appease Singaporeans by claiming to arrest Mas Selamat (who i still think is already dead before the alleged escape). This is just a return of favor.
Msia so big.... and need Spore help to pin point where Mas alamak in Skudai to help Msia police get some credit. if not, Msian always thought their polices only know how to take kopi $ or anyhow shoot at kids and worst thier chief always got thier cars lost..... so must need Spore help to claim so face lor
