^^^ Good GDP growth dont translate to election wins. As seen in Australia too.
PAP woke to their own 'GDP growth = happy people/More Good Years' BS after Aljunied GRC loss.

Ministars/Civil service performance bonus linked to GDP growth..
Incentives shaped behaviour.
Link ministers/civil service promotion/pay as a multiple of bottom quartile of income group.

Growth that benefits all society is what the general society is looking for.

This is a sad truth.. There must privileges given to Singapore citizen against foreigners whether they are talent or not. Even if they don't draw the distinction between PR & Citizens.. I am ok.
While least give us an opportunity ??! I work in the financial sector and most of the HODs are foreigners.. This has been going on and on regardless of what measures govt try to push thru.. (fair hiring or advertising for Singaporean applicant first)..
You may have you CFAs MBA and whats not but the truth is opportunity is never given to you. How do you know we as Singaporeans are not capable of delivering? How then can we climb up the social ladder?
