Singapore
Tip of the iceberg
Someone said.
The current PAP administration gives the phrase "tip of the iceberg" prominence.
The public only knows (most of time) when it happened to be "leaked" or "forced" to be revealed due to policies.
How much was and is lost due to poor prudence on purchases or on giving the approval on projects which turned out to be 'white elephants'?
Frightening revelation by the likes of Attorney General and various departments. More than a billion dollars had been pumped into our People Association and etc.
Singapore had been ranked the most expensive city in Asia (ahead of Hong Kong / New York) this year. Has the people (grassroots) lives improved?
In the mist of Covid pandemic / economic downturn, our authorities allow increase in property tax (even HDB - 85 plus % of the population lives in HDB), electricity and soon the "test balloon" GST would be implemented.
Almost religiously, we only hear of bad investment from our TH and sovereign funds from foreign newspapers. Yet the public is never shown the "books".
Why we are not allowed to know the remuneration of our TH senior management but it is OK to reveal Chiam ST GCE O or A levels results to the public?
Singaporeans needed to reminded our authorities we are made of flesh and bones, and not a consumables that can be discarded when become useless or non contributory anymore.
TKL reply.
I agree with the above comments.
