Call to support the opposition
Dear Classmates of RI,
As you know, our dear friend and classmate, Jee Say, has come out to stand for elections in GE2011. I want to wish him the
very best and win this election. I am somewhat ashamed that I have not been able to do more to support the cause of the
Opposition. So let me do a little bit to help via this.
Please allow me to share why I am so heated against the PAP.:
I fully agree with Jee Say that the PAP has lost its moral compass. While Jee Say cited the casinos as an evidence of his
accusation, I cite what the Old Man himself said and was reported in the Straits Times. I am not sure how many of you
spotted it. I wrote something which is attached right below - do feel free to forward if you think it makes sense because people
need to know.
The PAP is conscious that it is losing votes because people are being left behind in Singapore's progress.
There have been many reports about the growing Gini Coefficient. If this is not clear evidence of people being left behind, then
I don't know what.
Here are some more evidences. I work in the social service sector, and I am fully aware of the many social needs out there. I
am not referring to just the financial hardship cases. I am also referring to the many who struggle in dysfunctional families,
who have disabled children to support i
n costly special education, who have aged parents who need costly medical care. My
aunt who suffered a heart attack in 2010 was placed in Class C for a bypass. She had to incur $17,000 by the time she was
well enough. And we are talking about Class C health costs which her daughter has to pay for her.
Yet, the PAP government stinges when it comes to helping these people who cannot help themselves much. They may cite
figures of how many millions they give as funding to support charities to help these. But they don't tell you that their share of
the total cost is not more than just 30% of the funding needs. The charities have to raise the remainder all by themselves. And
you know how depressed the charity sector is in terms of what they can afford to pay the people who work for them to provide
the social services to the needy.
Now, compare what they spend for Defence. Scrutinise what the budget for social needs is relative to the entire National
Budget. You can find the data
