  Conclusion

  Singaporeans are unhappy because of the following reasons:

  High cost of living,

  More competition from immigrants for jobs, scholarships etc,

  Our concerns are not being heard by the ruling party,

  Therefore we want an alternative voice to represent us in parliament.

  Wishing you good luck and good health. And lastly be happy.

  

  Wrong, we must be happy first.

  The number of votes do the talking there is no lie that majority wants them around.  They are too politically immature for any change.

  We will still have PAP around for at least another 20 years , that is my prediction.

  PAP is around because they control the wealth and power in Singapore.There is no way the will step down. Even in a freak accident, they will still use the army to activate martial law and restrict opposition power.

  The problem now with Singapore is not reducing taxes or giving the people things.Its the basic moral being violated by the leaders of Singapore.They can say one thing but do another thing. All the policies discourage Singaporean from having more children. It almost seems like a consprisacy against all Singaporeans.

  Its because the government is complacent that is why the people in Singapore is not motivated to move forward. If you ask me y Singaporean look up to government for such a thing? I ask you who to look up to when we need a direction?

  10 Years ago when i was a 20+ years kid, i alrdy predicted such a thing would befall Singapore if we nvr acted then.Told many of my friends.None of them believe such a thing would ever happen.Because they say"Government will take care of us! No worries!"

  Now i ask them wat they told me... They stay quiet then reply me" I nvr say such a thing" This is the same attitude we had of our Singapore government now... Sad to say, we have irresponsible people running our government now.

  FT is alien.

  Please don't use PAP's terminology of "FT". 

  Like that, they already won half of the propaganda battle.

  The term "FT" must be totally rejected.

  There is already a trend of declining PAP votes.

  2001 - 75% voted PAP, 2006 - 66%; 2011 - 60%.

  I think 2016 will be 50.5%.

  They must be voted out. Hope opposition can field a stronger team in 2016.

  2016 - 1/3 or more opposition seats in parliament; 2021 - opposition form government.

  For me it was their Graduate Mums Scheme. I was not born of a graduate's womb, and was thus consigned to the manure heap. The GMS is blatant discrimination and only a mad person could ever think of it.

  My family has never been fond of the Thunderbolts. We did not benefit from their rule but got screwed over again and again.

  I am proud to be part of the 39.9% who supported the opposition. With LTK, CSM, GG and others like them in Parliament, the government has to watch its actions closely.

  Hope to see Nicole Seah win a seat in 2016. TPL has to go. She disgusts me.

  What about those who voted PAP despite being screwed over time and again? It is crystal clear PAP has not intention of honouring their pormises.

  LTK rubbing the "Cheaper, Better, Faster" comment in LSS face deserves some admiration. THe latter was left with nothing more to say.
