		<description>Mr Biao, sorry I clicked too fast. Didn&#039;t mean to plaguarise you.
 
Despite all the grievances expressed by Singaporeans, the govt is still proceeding head-on with its senseless policies. I agree with Kam, with our &quot;pragmatic&quot; PAP, its head-on policies are suspiciously for its own votes.

I feel exactly like you do, Mr Biao, I too is utterly disheartened and have given up hope to a better Singapore. How sad, considering not that ago, I was still singing proudly to &quot;There was a time when Singapore couldn&#039;t make it, but we did....&quot;.

My dear PAP, I hope you are reading this, and I hope you realise what you are doing to your own fellow countrymen. You are a Singaporean too, you know.</description>

		<description>Anon, I totally agree, and I am thoroughly disheartened with PAP&#039;s policies. Which country in this world discriminates her own citizens? Even the lioness doesn&#039;t eat her own cubs.

Mr Biao, I feel exactly like you do. Despite all the grievances expressed by Singaporeans, I too have given up hope on a better Singapore, or a better life for me and my future family in Singapore. My heart is elsewhere, and my mind is already focused on how to achieve a better future, somewhere else besides in “Uniquely Singapore”.</description>

		<description>What I think, we depend on MNC to become prosperous. We are still relying on that. MNC gained much of the power to &quot;rule&quot; over the people. 

Now, we are moving into depending on foreign workers called &quot;talent&quot;. Now, I was not very sure is this a right move. 

As the foreigners come in numbers, it is obvious that they will gain much say in what they do best. One will be in no doubt that fighting for more rights here and there while the Singaporeans IC cheapens will happen. What can Singaporeans say when foreigners are gaining ground? 

I felt that I am living in a country that discriminates her citizen.</description>

		<description>The Singapore govt also think it is too late. Too late to retain Singaporeans, so they switch to overdrive mode to attract foreigners. They cannot reverse their machinery nor want to forgo all the foreign &quot;talents&quot;, therefore they will milk whatever there is left to milk from this land and her native citizens. Til then, who can stop them? You? Me? Even after MM Lee dies, there is no change one la.</description>

		<description>If the only difference between a Singaporean and PR, ie the only obligation a Singaporean has to undertake is to vote, then many would not mind to let take away all those mentioned &quot;advantages&quot;.

On the other hand, how many countries in Europe or developed countries, where citizen has so many obligations over so many years?  There is even one that forbid citizen from renouncing citizenship even if they had left the country long before as a child ... 

If the law is to change to let all PRs enjoy the same &quot;advantages&quot;, as well as obligation as the Citizen, would the PR not make the same &quot;noise&quot; if Employment Pass or Work Permit holders are subsequently allowed to buy resales flat but their male children need not serve NS?</description>
