The above is a video footage from another taxi that shows a Ferrari driven by a China man beat the red light and banged into a taxi at a ridiculously high speed. This accident happened 12 May 2012 at 4a.m in Bugis. The Ferrari driver died on the spot. The taxi driver and his Japanese passenger died in the hospital.

Based on online discussions on the accident, many news reports derive that  Singaporeans are anti-foreigners by using words such as “Accident sparks anti-foreigners sentiment” etc. They are wrong. We are not anti-foreigners, we are just angered by the PAP government’s liberal immigration policy.

The internet provides a mean for many Singaporeans to share their experiences online and find out that they are not alone to suffer due to PAP’s liberal immigration policy. Unlike the past, the PAP government could no longer cover up the fact that they screw up and they screw up Singaporeans big time.Many Singaporeans rice-bowls were broken when the PAP opened the floodgate to millions of cheap labours. With the influx of over two millions of unskilled labours within a short period of time, PAP’s liberal immigration policy no longer only affects our livelihoods but also endangers our lifes.

The number of foreigners in Singapore is outrageous and unacceptable. Everywhere you go, there are more foreigners than Singaporeans. Even the headlines in recent years involve foreigners ninety-five percent of the time. In 2008, a China man murdered three of his room mates in a Yishun apartment. In 2012, a China man hijacked a taxi and killed a cleaner at budget airport and a China man bus driver killed an eldery woman who was crossing legally.

The frequence of headlines involving foreigners is alarming. It goes to show the lack of planning or total disregard of Singaporeans’ well-beings on PAP’s part when they open the floodgate to foreigners. The attempt to label Singaporeans as anti-foreigners is PAP’s way to excuse themselves of any wrongdoing. Now, that is what upset Singaporeans.

So it’s all eyes on Hougang again! Despite being “very busy”, PM Lee Hsien Loong has called for nominations for Hougang by-election to be held on 16 May 2012. The by-election will be held on 26 May 2012.

The Workers’ Party fields businessman Mr Png Eng Huat as the candidate for Hougang by-election and Mr Desmond Choo a NTUC leader will represent People Action Party.  Mr Png Eng Huat has been working the ground in Hougang since 2007 and is not a new face to residents there.  Mr Png was part of Workers’ Party team of candidates  which almost won in East Coast GRC in General Elections 2011. After GE 2011, Mr Png Eng Huat quietly helps the residents of constituencies under his party without fanfare or hoo-ha.

On the other hand, Desmond Choo is quick to inform the government-controlled mainstream media to publicise what he has done for Hougang residents, such as, providing porridge and hearing aids, pushing for a new wet market(the original one was demolished by HDB in 2008) and starting an upcoming free monthly legal consultation(which only opens on one day before Hougang by-election nomination).

Despite all the publicity and loud noise, Choo said: “Nothing is done for the purpose of the election.”. Probably, the most funny thing a PAP member has said in a while.

Choo’s campaign slogan is “Always here for you”. It makes one wonders where was Choo, as a union leader, when thousands of workers had their livelihoods suffered as a result of People Action Party reckless import of foreign workers? Where was Choo when PAP forgot about Hougang people when they carried out lift upgrading? Where was Choo when HDB demolished the wet market in Hougang?

Hougang residents must ask themselves, do they need another PAP yes-man in the Parliament?

PM Lee Hsien Loong recently shared on his Facebook page  the story of a photographer Sam Kang Li who went around taking photographs of his neighbours in Tampines. PM Lee then shared with his fans that Sam Kang Li has completed his project and is now holding an exhibition “At your doorsteps” at his void deck in Tampines.

PM Lee added, “ I hope other Singaporeans come up with similarly creative ideas, to build friendship and community among ourselves.”

But when a  Singaporean, concerned by our eldery working rough jobs, who also wanted to share his photographs on a darker side of Singapore commented, “I have taken many photos of elderly still working as rubbish collectors, cardboard collectors, toilet cleaners, waiters, beggars, living off the street. Sir, I am wondering if you would be interested to take a look at the photos too?”, the comment was deleted but no explanation was given.

The concerned Singaporean was respectful and addressed PM Lee as Sir and his desire to share with PM Lee photographs of our less fortunate neighbours out-of-topic at all.

The incident leads one to think that PM Lee only wants to hear good things and sweep the not-so-good ones under the carpet.
