    If their intentions is to take over, I doubt it'll ever be materialized. They only have 23 party campaigners, not even half of 87 parliament seats so how to take over lah!!! Unless you are saying take over Aljunied only lah... Anyway, if WP is voted in, they become the ruling party and will be target for shooting lor... yes its always easier to find fault of incumbent coz their records are there to be scrutinized and criticized if bad but applauded if good. However, the latter is very rare.... hahaha!

    You worry too much lah... they cannot eventually takeover an empire that was built over 50 years just over 2 elections. If they are good and even better than the incumbent, the people can always see and judge for themselves and vote them in and if they are lousy, there are always people like you to ensure they will not be voted out. They must be able to show they can push Singapore up economically and all other stuff that voters are voicing out today!!! Not so easy to take over lah.... I for one will not be comfortable if an opp party takes over PAP so quickly coz there are still many policies of PAP that worked! Its their pay that erks me most!!!

    why does people even think WP is not aiming for eventual take over...
    isn't that is a just a logical path of upgrading
    (i m not saying it is wrong for them to aim for that)

    I'm neutral, heyhey!

    But I think govt giving out money to singaporean based on the annual income and type of houses that they stay is a bit unfair. They should base on the monthly income. Annual income is made up of many things including bonus, overtime and allowance, so if it happens that that year they have lots of overtime and the company is making lots of profit and they get a fat bonus and so coincidence that the govt is based on that year income, then isn't it a bit unfair.

    Those people who stay in the condo don't mean that they are very rich because they might have already used up all their savings to service the loan, likewise those people who stay in HDB flats don't mean that they are poor. Some of them prefer the locations or some would like to stay near to their parents. I know of someone who is staying in a 3 room HDB flat but driving a BMW but now shifted to 5 room HDB flat because her 3 children have grown up and need more space. Another of my friend staying in 5 room Bishan HDB flat, currently still have S$800K in the CPF and she is wondering whether to invest in property or not but has no courage to enter.

    So that's why I think govt should subsidize on our daily usage & medical where everybody can benefit from it whether poor or rich. Just imagine rich people pay more taxes but get less benefits and poor people pay less tax but get more benefits. I'm not saying not to help the poor but rich or poor, they are all Singaporeans. Rich people can become poor when they are strike with terminal disease. Currently, only HDB flats entitle to water & electricity rebates but not the pte property, afterall all are Singaporeans.

    As for those 1st timer like young people who have just graduated and need a house to get marry, maybe govt should do more things to help them with the rising HDB cost. As for the waiting time, maybe govt can rent it to them first while they wait for their houses but under T&C.
