Citizens in opposition ward do not enjoy the benefits of the nation's progress but get to share in the crap. Will Singaporeans stop voting for the PAP, please.

Who's to say that he is sending out some signals and masking the others. A man of his intelligence would surely know what is happening, yet he talks in the Other. Pittance? Or more. Signals can be masked, signifiers hardly. It's easy to diss it off as another past-by-use-date statement, and I'm highly tempted to agree. But having heard so much dystopian remarks from the man, I'm tempted to hinge on a bit of a wild hunch this time round. My opinion though, hehe. Cheers Let’s play devil’s advocate here.

It's almost like "one step forward, two steps back". Regards, theonlinecitizen Hi CR,

One gets the feeling that the govt is not saying anything new at all, really. It’s almost like “one step forward, two steps back”.
