If the political party is the only variant in property prices, then why do we need Mah Bow Tan? Any difference in prices is larger due to location.
Hougang is just further from the city than other districts. Obvious why he did not choose Potong Pasir, check our the new condominium "Nin residences", breaking price records for that area I bet. At that price, you can get a condominium in anywhere in 90% of Singapore.

A prescriptive government
Just coined this term which best describes the style of governing enforced by the PAP; that is prescriptive. They come up with the policy and whether you like it or not, you have to accept it!
Ask yourself fellow Singaporeans, is this the kind of government you want? Is this the kind of person you are? Do you just listen and accept so easily in your daily life? If not, why should it be the same for politics.
Make your voice known my friend. Together we are loud. Together we can initiate change, but it has to start now! No more procrastination because this is our last chance....

An analysis of minimum wage
Hong Kong's new minimum wage law just took effect whereby employees would have to be paid a minimum wage of 3.6USD per hour.
If HK can initiate a minimum wage law, I honestly have no idea why it cannot be instituted here. The PAP's refusal to institute one is that minimum wage would result in an increase in unemployment. But at just over 2% unemployment rate, we must be at the structural unemployment level and this is actually the best time to institute this policy to ensure that Singaporeans working in the minimum wage industries are getting paid enough to sustain themselves, especially in an high inflation environment.
Make the minimum wage only for Singaporeans and supplement this by putting stringent quotas on the number of foreigners! Give us some space in our pockets and on the trains!

An analysis of FTs - Taking opportunities and jobs!
Seeing the run-up to the election, I have decided to do a greater part for Singaporeans by performing a analytical impact of the large influx of FTs. I have yet to see FTs analysed in this so I hope this would enlighten Singaporeans that the vast influx of foreigners will do great harm to them and their children and their children's children.
By now it should be common knowledge that FTs are taking up jobs that Singaporeans can perform. Be it a top CEO position, a top management, a middle management, a lower management down to even the lowest cardboard pickers. But what you do not see is the loss of opportunities for Singaporeans.
If you have been in the workforce for long, you will realise that a lot of times, you need opportunities in order to progress, learn and move up the career ladder. But what is happening now is that instead of giving the opportunities to Singaporeans in the lower rung, this opportunity is taken up by FTs who are so easily brought in. Now what does this loss opportunity mean, it means that the Singaporean is left to work in the low position and a loss of chance to learn, gain experience and what is worst, remain stuck in a low wage cycle, resulting in the descendant being similarly devoid of the opportunity to enjoy his parent's possible high position, high pay and in the end continues to struggles from birth to death.
The loss of the opportunity to advance is as great as the loss of a job, because what is the point of being in a job with no chance of advancement and growth.
To the bankers and IT personnel, why are Indians the highest paid racial community in Singapore? This is because they have come in such large numbers into these high paying industry until Singaporeans are squeezed out of it.
To the fast food worker, do you find it funny that your store managers are either PRC or Filipinos?
To the cleaners (dish and toilet), why are your wages so low? This is because your boss can hire a younger PRC at the same cost despite you having to work at 80 years of age! They are squeezing poor Singaporeans out of the worst of our jobs!
This is the last chance you have of voting out this wide open door policy. Vote the alternative parties now before it is too late (if it is not already).
