But I hope 3Boys can be a little circumspect in his reply to others in this open forum because I think one forumer (rains) appears to be scared when posting this:

Ok, I won't go there since my inquiry appears troubling, and thanks for the poetry.
I think I may have been the victim of a misunderstanding. You need to track back that train in the thread to understand it, my first reply was not to rain at all, it was to keroppi.

3Boy's empathy is with the garmen, not with the people. That's why I say he's already in Parliament..
It's still empathy what, hor, 3boys!

concern2:
Errr......my empathy is for the garmen......that serves the people.......in ways that they don't even appreciate............
Ahhh.....I see now.

.....as opposed to a garmen that rides on popular sentiment only.
Singaporeans are a tough lot to please.
Why the so-called 'new citizens' are more amenable to voting PAP is because they don't take the same things for granted that we do. -

'new citizens' are more amenable to voting PAP is because if opposition is voted in, our gate will not be so big as before.
SEVEN MILLION is the target. I dont hope to see this number. -

I used to think so, but logically, does it make sense? I mean, if they are already new citizens, why they care if the gate is small or big - unlesssss - they have relatives who wish to come here too...3Boys:

They will have exactly the same sentiment as other 'native' Singaporeans....get in, pull up the drawbridge. -

Did you hear what Glenda Han said in the rally last night?
Errr......my empathy is for the garmen......that serves the people.......in ways that they don't even appreciate............as opposed to a garmen that rides on popular sentiment only.

\"...the government is..trying to solve the problems that they themselves have created through numerous bad policies.\"
What do you say to that? -
The gate opened big or small for the FT and their extended families, the gate is controlled by a person right? who is that person? can’t be a group of people.

I dont think we should polarize 'native' and 'new' citizens. That's not the intention of some of us who is against the SEVEN MILLION number.
Having new citizens is necessary to sustain our aging population but in my opinion to go overboard is too much for most 'native' citizens to swallow.
Like some of us have expressed ourselves - we dont need to be everything also position FIRST. We can be the second and still live comfortably and contentedly.
We dont mind about paying taxes, but we do mind about how taxes are being spent ($$$$ go where?).
We appreciate the government, but not in every policy that they are implementing.
We need - ALTERNATIVE VOICE - that is loud enough for them to hear us.
PS concern2:
New citizens tend to vote for PAP out of gratitude for giving them the citizenship. So, the more new citizens seems to be the merrier when voting is concerned. Many PRs here and many of them waiting to get the citizenship. These PRs can come from the same country of origin (eg China) and it is to their peers' advantage to vote for PAP instead of otherwise.
It will be interesting if we can have breakdown of numbers though I believe we will never have these:
1) Out of 100 singaporeans, how many voted PAP? (50/100?)
2) Out of 100 new citizens, how many voted for PAP? (95/100?)
