    PAPAies ARE Certainly spending their time in “Life-Long Learning” on “How to keep on psycho US EQUAL Singaporeans to keep tiredly-busy and keep paying them Millions to – Well, Psycho-ing us about it”! As,

    THEY CERTAINLY don’t need to keep “Academically UPgrading themselves DO THE”? Like MM, they are yet another kind of EXception is it not?

    The risk of living too long actually concerns only the despot,
    because the longer he lives, the greater the risk to lesser mortals.
    Either the millions of FT displace us or our CPF depleted by the daughter-in-law

    Video Part 6 :
    wow, CPF OA account money moved to retirement account resulting the woman had to sell her flat?

    WHO shifted her money?
    Was there consent?
    Whose money is it?
    Can policies keep Changing and Changing and Changing?
    Do the people have the right to say no to the policy?
    Is there enough people in parliament to help the people?

    Is this the situation we want for eternity?

    How unique must You be?
