The world is full of controversial issues isn't it? Take the government's stance on gambling, "they should focus of on 4D or toto for example" who said that? I'll let you guess. They want to build a bloody world classy casino in Singapore, BUT, Singaporeans are not allowed to gamble in it, it is to attract the rich foreigners. Why aren't locals allowed to play? Because the government wants to play family saver, wonderful role isn't it, save the families from destruction when the bread winner falls into huge debts. How admiralble. Ha. Huge load of bullshit. I'll tell you what the foreigners will say, "oh, Singapore is protecting its people again, I wonder what they will do to those who try to gamble, fine them? Afterall, Singapore is a FINE country."
Another issue: Babies. They tell us that Singapore has VERY limited land in geography lesson, and that more houses have to be built every year. Then they go on to tell us about the danger the earth is in, how we should minimize use of non renewable resources. And then, they tell us that education is important, how opportunities should be given to kids. Ok, after telling us all these, they tell us that theres the threat of an aging population and to have more babies!!! Ok, no land, families need homes. So, green land have to be cleared to build the houses. And if thats not enough, raw materials have to be used to build them. Woah, major environmental crisis!!! Ok, thats the land and environment problem. What about $$$, precious money that people work sooo heard to earn? Babies are expensive!!! They told people that 10 years ago, and now, they say that expense is not a problem, its the family love thats important. I ask you, how is a family going to be happy if they can't make ends meet? If parents can't give their children all available opportunities? Isn't it better to give one child a wide scope and see him through the highest education possible then have 5 and have them stop school after JC because the parent can't afford uni fees and the children are not smart enough for schorlaships? Aging population? Let all the old people die and you'll have more buildings to tear down, which means more space, its also more environmental friendly, less food is consumed, demand is less, less strain on the land not to mention extra fertiliser.
Its for the people's own good? Try running the country like switzerland and see what the people really want you old fashioned government.
