PAP is destroying Singapore.

Chromesthlesia(HWZ) said:actually this TS has some excellent points (at times). 

But the way you speak ah, I cannot make it past the first paragraph since it's rather emotively-biased.

Example this sentence:

"The amount of $$$ yielded from these new levies and the reduced headcount at MOM should possibly cover some if not all of GST collected and maybe some more if that would make Singaporean workers and their foreign colleagues at work happier with a fairer and more just employment arrangement and thus make Singapore made products more innovative (better) and tourist more attracted to visit Singapore for it's reputation as a happy place rather than as a centrally managed economy with a novelty value the likes of North Korea, just to satisfy their lust for a sense of Schedenfrude, seeing people work their guts out here."

^This just ain't factual. My english ain't good and I myself tend to type long and winding broken sentences in the wrong grammer, but this just doesn't make sense. 

If you speak in a more neutral and factual-based tone logos, I think more people will side you. With your standard of english, I presume that you have underwent an university degree. I take it that the university would have trained you to present facts and assignments in a logos tone.

Thank you for your comments.

What I am just saying is that tourists come to Singapore more out of curiosity and intrigue.

Everyone comes here to check out why our GDP grew so exponentially. Those from ex-communist countries in Asia arrive to check out the physical developments that they missed out on as communism allowed despots to destroy their own home economies. Westerns come to check out if the citizens of Singapore (with a per-capita GDP even higher than their own), are indeed as happy as the PAP government paints them out internationally to be.

But then if they open their eyes here, they will discover that their impression of Singapore is very much just the propaganda of the PAP political establishment and for quite a number of Singaporeans, their lives are miserable and not far from 3rd world in terms of fulfillment/quality. Inequality in Singapore is much worse than in many 3rd world countries by gini coefficient alone.

For many years, probably PAP has managed to cultivate a glorious image of Singapore with it's international airport, Orchard Road shopping belt, port, National Airlines, world's top tier military spending in % GDP terms and gleeming casinos, few foreign reporters interested in examining poverty were welcomed to our shores. Unfortunately, the internet has since democratized information and also, the ease of air travel have allowed not just the richest strata of tourists to visit.

My projection of Singapores economic future is that our prospects slide (dimm) in the globalized (internet) age because PAP is no longer able to dictate the impression of Singapore to the world and ordinary citizens like me (or even tourists) can now independently take photos and blog internationally (sometimes very negatively) when warranted, such as when despotic foreign governments consider adopting the Singapore parliamentary elections system of gerrymandering and fixing the opposition. Many social groups also blog about rampant inequality and poverty on the streets and so do tourist who use Google maps to explore the nook and crannies of Singapore wherein in the past, government officials would frown upon anyone unauthorized showing tourists our less wealthy/opulent areas or our social underclass. Ardent capitalist tourists experience their desired sense of Schedenfrude when they see old, handicapped and deformed Singaporeans struggling to clear tables and picking up cardboard whilst those with a more compassionate side find our society inhumane and unkind.

In conclusion, Singapore as a tourist destination is more of a rich man's playground than a reputable oasis for rehabilitation or rejuvenation. This means that the attractiveness of Singapore like every rich man's playground, is likely to soon be discarded as used underwear as many a rich man's play thing are tossed out the moment something more interesting catches their eye. The long term success for Singapore as an attractive tourist sanctuary/ destination is limited by the rampant inequality in Singapore which is likely to increase crime and corruption rates and eventually the downfall of Singapore (a nation well on its way towards becoming a ghettoized concrete jungle plagued by rampant crime, poverty and an exorbitant cost of living, Hell on Earth in short).

According to Minister Tan Chuan Jin's spin story, many old people like the following, collect cardboard on the streets to sell to recyclers for exercise (hobby) and don't do it primarily for money:

The AGC in supporting the PAP political campaign during elections with absurd/ridiculous legal statute interpretations and also Phillipines President Duterte announcement that Singapore is a Garrison ostensibly run by a despotic/junta, also doesn't engender confidence in Singapore's social/economic stability in the long run:

"I burned the flag of Singapore. I said: 'F*** you ... You are a garrison pretending to be a country.'" - Mr Duterte in a November speech, recalling how in 1995 he burned a Singapore flag to protest at the execution of a Filipina maid in the city-state.
