Thank you for the replies folks. To add on, I read this article from a group chat from someone that forwarded it.... ineffable comments !
Singaporeans Have Spoken — And We Deserve What’s Coming
GE2025 is over. The votes are in.
The scam continues.
Let’s not sugarcoat it: Singaporeans have once again voted for their own slow destruction. Not because they didn’t know better — but because they didn’t want better. Fear won. Comfort won. Obedience won. Change? Dead on arrival.
This country has become a masterclass in soft authoritarianism, dressed up as democracy. The population is so thoroughly conditioned that they will cheer as their standard of living collapses, as long as they’re told it's “necessary” and “orderly.” The PAP didn’t need to win hearts. Just needed to remind you that things could always be worse.
And that was enough. Again.
The Illusion That Fooled a Nation
Many Singaporeans have clung to the illusion of progress — the upgraded HDBs, the occasional SkillsFuture course, the glossy brochures promising “resilience” and “renewal.” These symbols of managed prosperity convinced the middle class to stay loyal. “Look how far we’ve come,” they said.
But here’s the reality check: your children will pay the price.
They will inherit a city too expensive to live in, too rigid to move up in, too unequal to hope in. For most, life will be a lifelong treadmill — and the faster they run, the more they’ll realize the finish line was a mirage.
A few might escape. The rest will stay chained — white-collar slaves in a gilded economy, told to be grateful, always grateful, even as they drown quietly.
The Next Five Years: Decay on Schedule
1. Everything Will Get More Expensive — And You’ll Just Accept It
GST is up. Electricity bills are up. Transport costs are up. Public healthcare is inching toward American-style pricing. And wages? Flat, if you're lucky. Falling, if you're honest.
But Singaporeans won’t protest. They’ll budget harder, cut back, blame themselves, and vote the same.
2. Singaporeans Will Keep Losing Jobs in Their Own Country
The displacement is no longer subtle. Foreign hiring loopholes remain wide open. Employers chase cheaper, hungrier workers. CECA and other trade deals ensure a constant pipeline of competition — subsidised by your taxes.
But speak up? You’ll be told you’re being “xenophobic.” So we stay quiet, get retrenched, and reapply for worse jobs with the same resume.
3. Public Housing Will Remain a Golden Cage
You’ll buy a $700,000 flat and call yourself a homeowner. But really, you’re a renter from the state — locked in by 99-year leases, rising mortgage payments, and zero control. The government gets your loyalty. You get a roof you can’t afford to sell.
The market won’t crash. It’s not allowed to. It’s the last pillar of the illusion.
4. Social Mobility Is Dead — Elites Have Sealed the Gates
Forget meritocracy. The best schools are for the well-connected. Top roles go to scholars, generals, and sons of someone. You’ll never compete — not really. But they’ll hand you SkillsFuture credits and pretend you have a shot.
You don’t.
A Nation of Frogs, Proudly in the Well
We travel. We study overseas. We post photos of Europe and Japan. But mentally, we never left the well. We’re loud, reactive, and strangely proud of our ignorance — as long as our CPF grows and our flats look expensive on paper.
We believe we’re exceptional. We’re not. We’re obedient. We’re managed. We’re scared.
We behave badly oversea, but at home, we are subservient to a system that takes the best of us and gives us scraps as treats.
This is what control looks like when it’s perfected. No police, no violence — just years of psychological conditioning wrapped in technocratic language. “Stability.” “Pragmatism.” “Track record.”
They tell us to be grateful. And we are.
Singaporeans Won’t Change. It’s Over.
The truth is hard: Singaporeans don’t want change. They want to be taken care of, even if it means being taken for a ride.
We have one of the most educated populations on the planet — and we still vote like frightened serfs. Because that’s what we’ve been trained to be: afraid of losing, afraid of rocking the boat, afraid of thinking differently.
So the next five years will be more of the same. Worse, even. Because now, the system knows: it can squeeze harder. You’ll still say “thank you.”
GE2025 wasn’t a turning point. It was a confirmation.
We are not victims anymore. We are volunteers.
