In line with the recent fiasco that was happening elsewhere on the island, I believe the ruling party had outdone themselves once again with their white paper regarding population.
Running a country is different from running a corporation, which sadly is what the ruling party is doing at the moment. Monetizing every aspect. To be in politics is a desire to serve the public good, but sadly that sentiment has changed to one seeking a way to riches and relevant networking of private relationships. We can blame no one, power corrupts, as we all know it.
A lot of time it is not the case that married couples chose not to have kids, but they are being sensible(am referring to those who really are sensible) and realistic that they cannot afford. The housing issue alone is a big problem. Pegging the price of public housing to the resale market has made the cost of housing the number one problem for people looking to start a family. The relevant statutory board was started as an entity to provide affordable housing to the population, but it is anything but that now. Looking more like a public developer enjoying monopoly status selling housing at a private rate. Is that really necessary? Profits and growth provide the necessary motivation, but the only entity that is benefiting is the govt. Have we seen the returns being reinvested into the public? I don't think I've seen.
So who is the govt? The constitution? Or the ruling party in power? Those are two different entity. But in our city state the clear distinction between constitution and political party had long been mixed up. Because they have enjoyed uninterrupted longevity in power, we have long lacked an alternate voice which we can turn to. Looking at the larger countries that are often in political gridlock, we don't want that. But we want an alternative look at issues.
Inflation is happening everyday, the only item that isn't is your salary.
The king of the hill syndrome, the desire to be reigning forever; now the dare has been laid for voting them out of next, we shall see how the nation reacts. After all, irrationality is dangerous.
I'm not entirely sure everything makes sense or is relevant to one another because I'm feeling too full after that meal after that run.
