Singapore guy wonder why he kenna con into NS

Lucky,

I can't get into the bus to work today. Usually, the bus driver of service 903 would come and drive away, pointing to another bus which is right behind. Now, that second would be empty. But get this, 2 LONG trans island buses are fully packed to the brim. Out of frustration not to be late for work, I entered the bus from the rear and tried clicking my ezlink card.

This is the state we have dropped to in this country.

You call this Swiss standard. I can't even get to work on time as the buses are fully packed. The facilities were built for a population of 3.3 million, it was not built for 5.4 million. The system is not sustainable. What is the government doing? Why are so many Singaporeans still busy sleeping on their new craze iphone and why is the state of public discourse in this country almost oblivion?

We're in for trouble and we're pretending that this government will deliver.

What PAP is doing is to test the system and see what is the breaking point of Singaporeans with regard to this foreigners-overcrowding-this-country issue?

After waiting for 25 minutes for a feeder to get to the tain station, I observed something which is going to be a common sight after this 2011 election. An NS man was standing while all the seats beside him were filled up with: a fillipina man and a fillipina girl, a tired malaysian chinese man and lady, 2 chinese ladies from china and an indian man from India.

Singaporeans are paying for their MRT ticket but foreigners are getting the seats. Welcome to a new day in Singapore.

You can't even buy a flat and have to wait out for at least 3 years. You can't get on a bus to work. You are suffocated by overcrowding. Your jobs are taken away from you by cheap, faster foreigners. During this time, you are called to serve your reservist.

I ask once again as a young Singaporean once asked and I have not forgotten what this government has done for the last 5 years: I no longer know what I'm defending."

NS and reservists, as many SIngaporean youths have commented are nothing but an avenue for cheaper, faster soldiers
