The Blog post by Ng E-Jay from www.sgpolitics.net had spoken for me for me from the deepest part of my heart about PAP's policies:
(Extracted from "PM Lee, I will definitely vote calmly")
I know that PAP has embarked on policies that are unsustainable in the long run. Our immigration and labour policies have put strain on our social fabric, depressed our incomes, and lowered our level of productivity. Our economic growth has come primarily from population expansion rather than growth in productivity and innovation. This clearly is unsustainable. Unless we reign in the excesses of our immigration and labour policies, Singapore will be heading toward the edge of a sharp cliff.
The PAP has also milked the economy for what it is worth, by allowing unproductive GLCs to become overly entrenched such that through monopolistic practices, they crowd out smaller players and eliminate much needed competition.
In its zeal at shoring up our population size and attracting foreign capital, the PAP has also allowed a bubble to form in the property market, which has hurt first time home owners who now face 30 year mortgages and great financial burden.
Our identity as a nation has been diluted, mangled, and Singapore has been turned into a hotel, a mere stepping stone for others to come and go as they please, a half-way house for foreigners to experience the best that we have to offer before taking their talents, expertise and capital away to greener pastures.
