SINGAPORE : Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong said on Sunday Singaporeans should reflect on how to grow the country's economy and build on its reserves for future Budgets instead of just asking for more assistance now.
He also described this year's Budget, announced on Friday, as a "compassionate, comprehensive and far-sighted one. " - CNA
I've the upmost respect for my leaders...especially those that have been in service for a long time and had acquire a wealth of experience..
But recently, i've become increasing aware that with these experiences away from the general public, my leaders has grown distinctively 'disconnected' with the ground sentiments.
I stumble upon the above article by CNA this morning and its an obvious case that SM Goh has not walked the ground or have been listening to v.bias opinions by his aids..
In fact, News Radio delicated an entire hour this morning for people to call in and comment on the budget this morning and i didnt hear a single comment that they felt satidfied with the budget.
As such, it has lead me to the following conlcusion....(obviously my very own opinion)
1) My govt's years of easy handouts has left everyone reliant on govt to provide increasng more to satisfy our selfish needs.. Nobody cares about maintaining a surplus anymore.hahaha... thats really your own doing... neh ne neh ne bu bu! IM POOR, SO I DESERVE MONEY FROM THE GOVT!
2) The truth is but a perception. SM Goh obviously is under the impression that the Budget is suffice... i think i need to call him soon to realign him with the notion.
Regards
People of Singapore
