Movement for change


Will Singapore do well under a non PAP govt?
I will be frank. 

There will be good and bad points.

What are the good points that come from a new govt? Bad policies and practice will be changed. For example:

a) The cost of govt will come down with lower salaries for ministers, top civil servants and heads of govt agencies and linked companies,
b)  Families members heading top agencies with be replaced.
c)  Crony capitalism will be stopped
d) Stop  wasting govt spending on infrastructure and defense
e)  Abolish the policy of jobs for foreigners, NS for locals
f) Stop accepting fake degrees of foreigners
g) Cancel CECA
h) Stop treating locals unfairly, e.g NS, scholarships for foreigners.

What are the benefits from a change of govt with new policies?

a) Cost of living will come down, starting with abolishing GST
b) Give jobs to locals first, before accepting foreigners
c) Reduce cost of housing and stop the "lease decay"
d) Reduce full time and reservist duty under NS
e) Make CPF more flexible and earn a higher return
f) Reduce the cost of health care by controlling charges
g) The new govt will be run by people with experience, in touch with the ground and more responsive to the people.

What are the negative effects from a change of govt?

There will be uncertainty and disruption following a change of govt. It will not be easy, but we must be prepared to accept the pain of change. Even a 4G govt under the PAP has many uncertainties. If we do not change, and the current PAP policy continues, it will be worse.

OK, people. Vote - do you agree that Singapore will do wlll under a non PAP govt, in spite of uncertainty and disruption?
