Netizens unimpressed by PAP’s election manifesto

Despite the hype generated by the PAP-controlled media about its election manifesto, most netizens are not impressed by it, dismissing it as another ‘wayang’ to win their votes ahead of the coming general election.

The PAP’s election manifesto is only 13 pages long and short of details as compared to the Workers Party’s comprehensive 60 page manifesto. It consists of six key objectives such as creating opportunities for higher income, improve the lives of lower-income Singaporeans and involving all Singaporeans in shaping its future.

The proposals were greeted with scorn and scepticisms by netizens on Yahoo News.

Alan does not mince his words:

“PAP’s 6-point Manifesto is nothing but a load of rubbish! Here, we are talking about high inflations, rising cost of living, sky-high HBD flats prices, foreigners taking our jobs, ridiculous high MPs salaries, public transport screw-ups, health & education etc – WHERE in your manifestations do we see actions to tackle all these problems?”

Target added:

“The manifestos shows how much of wayang they are and how much not in touch with the needs of the citizens. None of which touches the needs and problems faced by the people. Time for them to face the real truth that they are no longer what Singapore need. We need them out and real people who cares and face reality to come and straighten things out. I thought they will at least come out with something to counter the problems we are facing now but they totally ignored it and continue their arrogant ways.”

The PAP’s ‘track record’ for the last five years is evident for all to see. Relentless influx of foreigners, sky-rocketing HDB flat prices, stagnant income, rising cost of living etc – these are all the results of the PAP’s policies and its perennial obsession with GDP growth.

Singaporeans should not be deceived and hoodwinked by the PAP’s empty promises anymore unless they still harbor any false hopes of ‘more good years’ under the PAP.
