An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
When you have a government which starts moulding jobs into elite jobs, such as doctors, lawyers, accountants, then starts pegging their salaries to these elite jobs, and then put out the idea that Singaporeans should chase after the 5Cs, should aspire towards a rich lifestyle which otherwise you are not good enough, is it the fault of the people to adopt a similar mindset because the “leaders” set the tone? Is it people’s fault that they are led to believe in such an ideal or is it the government, in its want to create an elite class for itself, which should be the one who should reflect on their policies?
Of course, Singaporeans also have to self-reflect. But have Singaporeans not been blamed by the government too much? Has the PAP taken any ownership or responsibility for the problems that their social engineering has created?
The PAP pursues such a strong path of social engineering, in a bid to create a society it wants but when problems happen down the road, it washes its hands, disowns the problems and blame Singaporeans.
So, when employers similarly complain about Singaporeans, the PAP similarly chastises Singaporeans. Then, to please employers, PAP starts importing labour which will meet these employers’ needs.
Then you see Singaporeans losing jobs by the batches. Where the PAP had asked Singaporeans to study IT in the past, today suddenly many Singaporeans lose their jobs as they are replaced by migrants. Then in accounting, etc.
If you social engineered Singaporeans to study IT, then you jolly well make sure they still have a job 10, 20, 30 years down the road. You don’t engineer a problem then leave the people to pick up the pieces! And then bring in competition to make it even more difficult for Singaporeans. Why create layers after layers of problems?
If the PAP does not have the integrity to social engineer something and maintain it, then don’t do it! And if the PAP doesn’t have the foresight to social engineer something, and recognise the social effects that can happen, then....
