“You pay peanuts you get monkeys, you pay millions what do you get?”

Hmmm, millions of monkeys? LOL

Since peanuts = very few S$, and monkeys = very/relatively few monkeys; so, millions of peanuts should get us millions of monkeys, I think! LOL

But in Singapore’s case, those millions of “monkeys” are the millions (or at least 2 or 3 million) of Singapore citizens who gave its government the power to pay its Ministers millions of S$ every year!

Maybe that was not why the PAP was voted into power, but the PAP was voted into power anyway, and has been voted into power for the past half-century; so since they’re so powerful, obviously there’s nothing that these millions of “monkeys” can do to stop its Ministers from being paid millions of S$ every year!

This is just simple cause and effect, isn’t it? LOL

UK has 60 million people and they can’t cope with a 2 million increase (a mere 3% increase). What makes you think SG can cope with a 50-60% increase? You mean being highest paid in the world guarantees the impossible can be done? Look the track record of how many miracles they have performed after being paid so much. You pay peanuts you get monkeys, you pay millions what do you get?

To def

you truly speak like colonial minions that so richly deserve to be despised & trampled on.

yes, let’s see how our most competent & highly paid Singapore Government has sort out all the problems created with the 2 million increase in the last few years & Singapore can go on to have the 6.5 million population.

6.5 million is good for the country. btw, UK recently said their 2 million increase in population over a decade is too much and has created problems in their society. goodness, I think it’s because they have incompetent government who are paid too little. they should learn from us. I’m sure our manpower and home affairs (in charge of immigration) ministers can help them better plan their immigration policies. UK is such a big country with 60 million people and they can’t even attract the right talent to run their country. what a letdown, considering they were once our colonial masters.

Highly doubt GEP = gifted elective programme.
If he can get into GEP with that level of grammar, the government is truly stupid.
