It is totally incredible, everywhere you go online on the internet, any
discussion topic or any news with comments option, 90% of the comments
are very negative against PAP. Some even goes down to ill mannered
vulgarities hurled at PAP. It is as if the entire nation is fed up with
PAP and wanted them out of parliament.
Is it that bad for PAP? Why is the ground online is so overwhelming
against PAP? Hasn't PAP come out to say that they have controlled the
influx of foreigners into the country? Hasn't the official media come
out to say that in a survey conducted the great influx of foreigners
into Singapore is not the main issue but rising cost is the main issue?
However, a quick survey online, shows many people lambasting the PAP for
the great influx of foreigners marginalizing fellow Singaporeans and
making Singaporeans feel they are the ones who are foreigners in their
own country, making Singaporeans very afraid of losing their jobs and
being afraid of poor job prospect for their children under PAP's rule. |

Something definitely doesn't gel here. If rising cost is the main issue
then most negative online comments should be on rising cost but that doesn't
look like it to any observer. There are far far more complaints of PAP
foreign talent policy than rising costs complaints. Some even feel that "A
vote for PAP is a vote for their foreign talents not for Singaporeans".
Somebody has to be right and somebody has to be wrong. Is it really rising
cost the main issue or great influx of foreigners the main issue or both?
If the great influx of foreigners is the main issue, with PM, SM and other
ministers one by one coming out to say they are reducing this inflow of
foreigners into Singapore, then the public should be appeased and there
should therefore be lesser vitriolic comments against PAP. But apparently
this is not the case, the negative comments are continuing unabated and in
fact as more people get online on board to seek some views before the
election, more negative comments are coming online.
It would seem that the general public cannot trust PAP to control this
influx of foreigners into Singapore for if they trust PAP to do a good job
controlling the influx of foreigners competing for jobs in Singapore then
very logically negative comments against PAP should dropped but again it
didn't. It looks like it is not enough just to say the inflow of foreigners
will be controlled in the future. Observers are wondering if it is enough
that some heads be sacrificed and sincere apologies offered for
mismanagement on this great influx of foreigners to appease the general
public otherwise all these negative comments against PAP is very unhealthy
and detrimental to any ruling party eventually.
What do you think? Is it that bad for PAP? Why is the general public not
trusting PAP on controlling the great influx of foreigners competing for
jobs in the country? Has PAP shoot itself in the foot? Has PAP mixed up
quality of life with economic growth at all costs? Share your views. |
