The people of Singapore want the opposition to take over the government. The mass influx of cheap foreign labour has resulted in hundreds of thousands of Singaporeans being unemployed or earning a meagre salary.

This has to stop now. We will vote for the opposition in the next elections as we have been pushed back against the wall and this is the only option left.

Children are going with 1 or 2 meals a day and many households are in darkness because they cannot pay the bills.

Time for change is now.</description>

		<description>Over the last 50 years, the MM and his PAP has been instilling fear into all of us, so much so that we have become a society of &quot;kiasu&quot; and &quot;kiasi&quot; people. 

Over the last 15 years of so, we have been slowly but steadily nudged out of the competitive advantage which we had because of the deliberate policies of the PAP to undo their own blunder caused by their &quot;Two-Is-Enough&quot; Family Planning Policy in the 1970s by coming out with a quick-instant-fix solution of opening the flood-gate for low-wage foreign workers and &quot;talents&quot; to flood the Singapore labour market, against the happiness and will of our people. Yet the PM could still have the cheek to tell all of us to take the bitter medicine - and not only for once but seems to be forever.

Since the MM and his PAP fear the most is a &quot;Freak&quot; Election, why not we collectively drive this fear into them for once, instead of being continuously receiving the fear that they have been dishing out to all of us.  Why not we make this &quot;Freak&quot; election happen? Why not we give them a taste of their own medicine?

Can you all recall the recent introduction of new laws and amendments to make us even more fearful? Now, even a single person can be considered as an &quot;assembly&quot;. Now, even before you go out of your house to start a street protest, the police can arrest and detain you if they just &quot;think&quot;a that you are going to protest in the streets. 

Are we not becoming worst than a Police State, worst than a totalitarian Communist State?

Freak election is bad for PAP but good for the PEOPLE!</description>

		<description>“Never mind your Gini coefficient. If you don’t have a job you get zero against those with jobs.” In other words it is better to have a job with lower pay than no job.

In other words, he&#039;s saying,

&quot;I bring in the low wage foreigners, you compete with them with the cheapest labour. Never mind abt me - my job requires millions of dollars to pay, and I make sure no Opposition comes close.&quot;</description>

		<description>What dream? It&#039;s becoming a nightmare whenever I think about my future. Our leaders do not understand us anymore. Will we ever have leaders who will stay in our HDB estates, take public transport with us, so that they can feel for themselves what policies are needed? When the divide becomes too huge, the society becomes unbalanced andunrest will follows. We must always remember that the power is with the people and they will use this power when they are desperate.</description>
