I'm not a defender of the system or the lack of transparency which you rightfully point out. I am a defender of the net RESULTS which are plain for all to see but which many choose to ignore.

The net RESULTS are just statistical results that do not look into detail on how the results are distributed. The returns of the country's performance are not distributed equally and equitably across the population. Many are actually worse off than before.

That has raised the tension of the people here by several grades, especially when the Govt keeps quoting such good indicators. It is rubbing salt into wounds. If you live in this environment, it is not a comfortable feeling. It is not correct. It is not what it should be.

The PAP definitely can do something. We need an open society but don't just give us a channel to let off our frustration. The problem is in the system. This country does not belong to PAP alone. If one day, by some kind of freak luck, a different party takes charge, this same political system will pass the "ownership" of the country, lock, stock and barrel to that party. Nothing will change, only someone with a different idea. Is PAP willing to change the system? If not, PAP deserves to be changed.
