The influx of foreigners

The immigration policy has allowed foreign talent to enter the Singapore workforce a little easier than other countries. This has caused displeasure among Singaporeans. For example, we would claim that jobs are being “stolen” by foreigners, especially in the IT and Engineering sectors.

Out of touch Members of Parliaments

Whenever bad news is being reported, MPs would occasionally make the situation worse by commenting in a way which may draw flak from everyone. For instance, during the recent water price hike, an MP remarked that the price hike was to raise awareness on the importance of water. Another MP also said over a radio interview telling Singaporeans to “bite the bullet” for the hike.

Many netizens got worked up over these remarks. Some even suggested that MPs should live under the same circumstances as them to understand how ignorant their words were. We won’t deny that is a good suggestion though.

Unreliable Public Transport

Despite being very efficient on good days, train breakdowns occur rather frequently in recent years. In fact, these breakdowns usually happen at ungodly hours – during peak hours.
