THE EARTH HAS MOVED!


The Earth has moved! Yes, I know the Earth is always moving but THE EARTH HAS MOVED! Sometimes momentous has happened in Singapore; the PAP (People’s Action Party) has admitted they were wrong!

While answering a question in Parliament from the opposition, Deupty Prime Minister (DPM) Teo Chee Hean made the admittance saying the population growth of Singapore in recent years (due to relax immigration policy) has outpaced Singapore's infrastructure. Yes, I know the immigration/infrastructure imbalance is so obvious that it’s almost impossible not to admit but since when has that ever stop the PAP?

Not only that, the DPM said that the government has ramped up infrastructure development to deal with the problem. So not only has the PAP admitted that they were wrong, they are taking steps to rectify the problems! So yes my fellow Singaporeans; the Earth has moved!

Yes the earth has moved, maybe not in the right direction and approach.

Ya it has moved a little but not enough. Why don't we focus on the reason for its movement in the first place. If not for dissenting voices and putting our actions together, e.g in our votes to signal our presence, will the earth move? This only confirms that we need to constantlying exert pressure on these overly paid, under delivered MINIsters so that they will not take us for granted. Anywhere damages have already been due to sg that can never be undone, whether they r sorry or not.

The mouth moves but the mind has not.

True. It'll be interesting to see what "infrastructure development" they have in the pipeline

Its not a contrite "I am sorry" or "we screwed up".

Its more "OK, we screwed up, SO ???" (finger gesture ..)

So? Pay cut? Bonus forfeited? Nothing? Who paid the price?

I don't think you can say a finger was shown as projects are in the "pipeline" to solve the problems. If nothing is being done, then you can say so.
