Singapore's greatest advantage is how small we are. That means we can pivot very quickly, adjust to new situations, and push things out far quicker than a much larger country. However, our political offices are now filled with Chinese eunuchs (and a few of the other races) that do not have the will or even genetic ability to put their foot down, and push for what the population needs.
Most Singaporeans know that the haze is not the government's fault, but are angry over the lack of response and inaction. What is the point of serving two years and fighting with the other Sg crabs in the metaphorical bucket if we can literally get smoked to death by our neighbours in a couple of months?
Inaction is the way of the Singaporean political elite. As long as the KPI is hit on paper, nvm, we move on, close two eyes and then secretly buy property near the new MRT stations. Actual stone-cold retards. The price is then paid with the suffering of your own local populace.
The longer the reaction to the haze is postponed and inept, the more foreign capital we lose. We are a whore of a nation. We must keep our regulars (China/Western money laundering) coming back!
The weather is already so hot, now haze, endless construction - what would keep an expat with money to contribute from then just moving to another location? Money moves to where it is best treated. We used to be the premium KTV girl. Now we are becoming an aged, wrinkly courtesan with the clap and distended, geriatric nipples like an old dairy cow (nationally speaking).
On multiple levels, the haze has exposed the ineptitude in our ruling class. The seeds for WP winning and socialism in our nation may be set with every day that the island breathes in this smog. It is what it is.
Tips for Singaporean:
Don’t rely on current cabinet to navigate your life , current haze issue is a prime example. Covid was also a good one
You are merely a sheep governed by a bigger sheep ( grace fu )
With her current seat of authority , she could have already pushed for things way earlier and make decisive decisions
Instead she chose to play it safe and probably wants to wait for approval
Cmon la . Monster of sustainability and environment can already push for things with immediate effect , we all know that
So many inner strings they can pull off if they really care
Instead grace chose to be nonchalant about it because her bosses appeared to be the same , hence she is too afraid to sing a different tune .
In Singlish we call this humji and ball less , as biological ball less she is (although she look like a he )
