thank you very much for doing this. The arrests of alleged Marxist Conspirators – it was an awful time then when many of us stood by – confused, questioning, looking for ways to express our bewilderment, and so afraid that we spoke in whispers. Today we need to stand up for them and stand by them. thank you writers and researchers for doing this.

The poor emasculated peasants of Singapore, continues to bitch about life in a high pitched voice.

In SG 2% home loan fixed rate …. in AU 8% home loan fixed rate
Err there is many choices when it comes to home loans in Oz. Some are variable rates, taken at ur own risk.

In SG public transport frequency is within 2-10 minutes …. in AU 15 – 40 minutes

Not everywhere in SG and not at peak hours.

In SG you purchase insurance for medical …. in AU you purchase medicare

Apples and oranges.

In SG shopping is cheap …. in AU shopping is expensive

Earn more, spend more.

In SG school fee is cheap …. in AU you are in debt after graduation

This one I have to agree. However, ultimately someone has to pay the bill (aka the taxpayer).

In SG S$2 by train n bus to city …. in AU 2 hours ticket from zone 3 costs you AU$8

$2 ONLY if you live next to MRT and few stops. And I tot increase lately?

In SG childcare is around S$300 …. in AU childcare may cost you AU$1500-2000

I tot Asians use relatives for childcare.

In SG you hardly see drug addicts …. in AU they may throw syringe into your backyard.

In SG, what backyard? You think only poor people are drug addicts?

Dont like Oz, why the Fxxx did this guy go to Oz in the first place?

Er Ren Xian Gao Zhuang.

at least the Aussie govt is far more civil , they just wanted you to pay what is due.
Perhaps you have not told the truth about yourself…….was there some attempt to evade tax or whatever ?

now back to the real topic, show us one instance where the Aussie govt hunted political rivals like enemies of the state and do you think their MSM and judiciary are truly independent of govt influence ?

how about the British govt. ?
bear in mind they invented the ISA and again show me one instance the British govt abused the ISA on political rivals.
i also need not elaborate on the independence of their MSM and judiciary.

It would be easy for SG Government to provide those benefits, but are the employees and employers willing to pay taxes as high as in Australia?

Have you ever had an experience with Australian tax office? I had and they hunted me down for every single dollar that I made like robbers. By then, you will thank Singapore Government for their low tax rate.

This is a good article from you. I suppose; we’ve always had our suspicions about this; but due to lack of information or rather lack of coordinated gathering of information, there is no way we could be sure.

I like your timeline of events. That structuring was done pretty well. I hope no one forgets this. If you sense that you will be brought in, by the Singapore Police or the ISD, please let the word out as soon as you can.

I’m commenting with my real name and my real site. I hope people who comment s here, try to do likewise. But if you want to remain anonymous, there’s of course net neutrality which I support as well.

TOC, please continue the good effort that you are doing.

best regards,

Obviously u dun get wat i mean.
It is not for me i m complaining but for the people who are left behind WITHOUT much help from the government. I agree i and many others are more fortunate than others BUT have u seen the less fortunate ones wihtout much help and hence left to charitable organisations. Having done so much charity work in my life, u obviously feel nothing for the less fortunate ones who are struggling terribly to meet everyday needs. U talk to them and u understand how dire straits are they becos our government refuse to subsidise or look after them. Its always left to charitable organisatons to look after them.

As u said, the benefits are another form of our money so i dun see your logic of your 1st argument that we pay lesser taxes than australia, hence its better. Its not say they dun get anything back. Then they should start rioting.

In austrailia, The less fortunate get enough help from the government. However, some of these are bums who spent them on alcohol and smokes or drugs etc instead of essentials. This is unlke singapore who some stay in shacks or in graveyards.

The majority is 66% seats in parliament cos tey won 66%. Not making grcs to impose their 98-99% seats in paliament. U noe wat we are angry about? holding 98% of the seats is totally unrealistic of the representation of the will of singaporeans. Where is voice of the 33%? We dun claim to be the majority but where is the 33% of the seats?

Australian get benefits, because they pay higher tax than Singapore. We pay much lesser tax, but we dont get benefits. Arent they the same? The benefits are your money. It’s just another form.

I always work from 9-6PM in Singapore for the past 10 years. I work in IT line as senior software engineer and I seldom do OT. If I do OT, I will surely claim for day off. If you do OT, it means that you are afraid to voice out your grunt to your manager. Freedom of Speech? You may start telling your boss now to give you day off.

Have you ever considered how much your sister needs to pay for lunch and dinner?

In SG S$1.80 chicken rice …. in AU AU$5 sandwich
In SG 2% home loan fixed rate …. in AU 8% home loan fixed rate

Car is a luxury and liability. Dont complain when you have to pay COE, ERP, road tax, insurance, etc. Dont buy a car, if you cant afford it. You may save 1000+ monthly.

Less fortunate families are everywhere … even in Aussie you can easily find them in parks, train stations, lobby of buildings, etc. In Japan, you can see them everywhere at Shinjuku.

And i note in 27) that u say anti LKY means we should drop our citizenship. Sorry, i bet most of us here are singapore loving but not government loving.

Then stop complaining. PAP is a party that won in election which means majority support PAP.

i have no clue leh. any of u have or not?

If those clowns say that they going to increase the GST again and raise their salary again., ask them them to fart off because such deceptive government has no moral authority to govern country without accountability and transparency anymore. Enough is enough. I will not be surprised that the government will be thick-skin to tell us to need increase GST because they touch reserve. What is these reserves compare to more than $50 billions loss by temasek and GIC ?

Is there a universal Justice and Peace for all Mankind, or not at all in Singapore?

If these Catholics can keep quiet in Government, then it comes as no surprise that we cannot do a thing in Myanmar and we hobnob with the myanmar generals.

And for the current 20+ Malays in custody – who are the real terrorists?

you said “For those who are anti LKY, please go to a country where you think Freedom is everything. Migrate and Drop your citizenship”

How could you say such heartless and cold blooded thing?
Very anti-social psychological behavoir.

1. are you implying or assuming there is not enough FREEDOM?
2. Are you Anti-People with Alternative views?
3. Are you Anti-Plurality of views?
4. Are you Anti-Democracy? bear in mind in a democracy, people have freedom to express their views and can have the right to agree to disagree.

5. Does the migration of those who don’t like it here make you feel better? Why? Why are you so anti-diversity-of-views?

nice to see you again, kopi…. ooops, its dololo.
