(10) We applaud you for your courage. You are fighting for the future of Singapore and for your children. Can you share with our readers what your hope for Singapore is? Chua: The government should put its own citizens as the first priority. Any rules and regulations should be made for the people, and not for the government. The Singapore government right now focuses on how to let themselves become rich, but they are not thinking of how to help Singaporeans become rich. This is not working for the people. The government also treats us like outsiders. The government spends money to give financial assistance to foreigners for their university education but it’s difficult for Singaporeans to get scholarships. Other countries are not like this. We should not allow Singaporeans to be bullied. The government also should not keep increasing rental fees, HDB flat prices should be reduced and so should food prices and other products and services. Janet: I have a list as well. I would like to see true justice and equality, and true democracy. There shouldn’t be an abuse of power. There should be better welfare for Singaporeans. We should subsidise our children. There should be cheaper housing for the young, singles and single parents. They shouldn’t have to wait until 35. The MRT shouldn’t be packed like sardines and there should be shorter waits to see the doctor. We shouldn’t have propaganda news from the media and we should stop brainwashing our children. Chua: There should also be fair elections. The GRC should be revoked and there should only be SMCs. Also, the government shouldn’t be so arrogant. (11) One last question before we end! How do you think Singaporeans can achieve the dream of a better Singapore? Goh: We hope that the environment in Singapore will change and salaries will increase. Chua: Don’t vote the PAP. Let more opposition parties enter the parliament so that there will be various parties which make up government, other than the PAP. Janet: Vote PAP out. We thank you for your time and we hope for the best for you! Do stay strong and keep fighting. Singaporeans will be watching the governments next steps!
