singapore where got practice rights?
your don't have rights to speak your mind about politics in public. to do that, you have to be registered to a political party or political association.
you don't have rights to decide on government policies. there are no outlets for you to prevent bills from being pass in parliament.
e.g. building of casinos, raising cpf minimum sum to $100k, pegging new HDBs to market rates, implementation of minimum wage system, immigration issues. Tell me, where's your say in this?
yes, you have a right to say what you think in forums, in ST etc.
but PAP has all the rights to not listen to what everyone else is saying.
you already don't have the rights to your cpf savings, and you have to pay extra for the right to own a vehicle (COE)

Everyone leases their flats from HDBs.....if they say you are to withdraw in instalments or something like that....what are you going to do?
One HDB flat has 100 units for example....each unit costs $350,000. That's $35m for one HDB block in today's dollars. In future, when each HDB costs on average $1m each....one block costs $100m. 10,000 HDBs will cost ....wah how to count lol. Trillions? If every singaporean wants to sell their HDB for retirement....the govt will surely introduce a measure to manage that.

census of population 2010
Number of single Singaporeans on the rise And those who have tied the knot are having fewer children By Li Xueying, Political Correspondent
THEY are footloose and fancy-free - and their numbers are growing.
To be exact, one in three residents - or one million of those who call Singapore home - is single. In percentage terms, the figure has gone up from 30 per cent a decade ago to 32 per cent today.
Also in a seemingly unstoppable trend bucking the Government's efforts to get Singaporeans to procreate, even those who have tied the knot are having fewer children.
One in five women in their 30s who have ever been married is childless. That is 20 per cent, up from 14 per cent in 2000.
One of them is teacher M. Choo, 32, whose attitude towards having children is expressed thus: 'Kids? It's not a priority. We will see how it goes.'
The same trend goes for older, ever-married women in their 40s. The percentage of those who are childless has risen from 6.4 per cent to 9.3 per cent.
Among women in their 40s who have married, university graduates have the fewest children, an average of 1.74 children, against 2.21 children for those with below secondary qualifications.
The Chinese tend to have the smallest families, the Malays the largest, and the Indians are in between.
The latest census data comes in the midst of Singapore's plummeting total fertility rate, which fell to a historic low of 1.22 last year, despite government policies ranging from longer maternity leave to cash bonuses.
As for those who have not married, if he is a man, he is likely to have below secondary qualifications.
Among men aged 40 to 44, 24.1 per cent of those with below secondary qualifications are single, compared with 12.9 per cent for graduate men.
If she is a woman, the converse is true.
Among women aged 40 to 44, 23.5 per cent of graduates are single, compared with 10.8 per cent for those with below secondary qualifications.
Among all ethnic groups, the Chinese have the highest proportion of singles.
For instance, 17.5 per cent of Chinese women aged 40 to 44 are single - more than double the 8.2 per cent among Malay women.
Of the perennial mismatch between lower-educated men and better-educated women who are single, sociologist and Nominated MP Paulin Straughan noted that Singapore continues to be governed by 'strong notions of patriarchy that say that men should be the leader'.
However, she sees a glimmer of hope.
'Moving forward, I don't think we will be stuck in this situation forever.'
The reason is that Singapore society has levelled up in terms of education.
'For the next generation of younger male Singaporeans, they will be able to achieve at least secondary education,' she said.

muhahaha birth rate will drop from 1 to 0.01 ... Singapore will be become land of the immigrants. usually male adults hit 30-34 don't fancy love thingy so much ... and why make yourself stressed for a piece of marriage cert that is against you...

The problem is not with the people, the problem is with the garbrament, they knew the answers but they are not willingly to do the obvious for fear of damaging their golden goose egg which is the high gdp which will make them reel in huge pay rises and bonuses.
The price of PAPist greed is the future of Sinkapore.

a big applause to the trend!
my prediction is right and the source of problem is growing

No joke to have children.
Ask the parents who have kids.
All is children expenses.
Stages of children grow up requires more money.
Now, cost of living increasing, pple really dont want to have children.
If dont want children, what for get married?
-
It is a very expensive investment to get married.... it can easily get into a failed investment and you might lose half of your asset. You may also required to pay a monthly free for failed investment..
So I'd rather be in r/S , than getting married. Unless I really sure that she's the right one, I wont get married.
