The complusory annuity is one of them. I have known very well (very ironical right, know very well yet did not do anything...)that they will think of a way to retain our CPF, and here you are. Very Clever of them. Not only they will not give us back our CPF, I have doubt too, that how are they going to pay the big pool of aged baby boomers S$300 every month. Rising of GST to 10%? Well, who know how Singapore going to be when you reach our age, but definately things is not going to be the same. Your generation is not going to be the same as the baby boomers too. Everything that reach the peak will have to come down. I remain positive, maintain my dream and control my life by not trusting the government. In fact, like what MrWang Say So, my life become more fulfilling and better after I stop trusting them.

Could be 5k of your minimum sum. Over the years, they will raise it. They have done it with minimum sum, GST, whatever they want. The gahmen thinks Singaporeans cannot remember because every time elections comes, they just have to throw out some scraps and the gahmen get what they want. Honestly, Singaporeans have ourselves to be blamed. Its a shame. The problem is that I can't see it changing.

I've always dig your blogs and your fantastic drawing of the Elite Girl. And you make your article simple and attractive enough without going into the complex issues. In fact, I hope you can be my NMP and be my voice. You seem to have a knack to say the things I've always wanted to say in parliament (of course I never had becoz most of my MPs have elite speak). However if you keep blogging about the government, you'll soon be discouraged because it's not going to change anything. You may find it all futile and be depressed. And then you'll stay away from blogging or close this blogsite down. So do take care of yourself. If you have the chance, my advice - LEAVE THE COUNTRY. Don't look back... oh, my family and friends are all here. Who will look after them? I have a stable job here, what will I do overseas? Where I am now may not be perfect, but I have choices. I can choose to downgrade to a more rural area, earn less and spend less. Or I can choose to send my daughter to a 'normal' school and not join the ratrace. She will not be marginalized. Or I can afford to buy a car, without paying 20k for a piece of worthless paper. Or buy a piece of land with a simple house on it at an affordable price. A land which I can call my own, not a space in the air with a 99 year lease. This is what many Singaporeans lack - CHOICES. With good cheer, Kaffein Heya there, keep it up.
