I don't think it is the case of those top honchos not knowing what is happening on the ground. Don't forget, we have a army of top brain, top scholars in all the govt agencies. How can they not know? How can they not tell what is coming? They have all the necessary data they need. Didn't you see them flashing out all sort of data and justification when they want something done? Didn't they always claim that they are working the ground instead of just waiting for election coming to start working?

I am not sure if you have met many of these scholars, but some of them seem to live in an alternate dimension. Truly some of them are brilliant in analysis, but perhaps suffering from a disassociated perspective that all men are living the same lives as them.

So, as some forumers have pointed out, don't just depend on govt to take care of our future. We should learn to take care of ourselves.

Actually I do agree with you and kazukirai on this part. But the prob is we have also been hearing the line "taking care of ourselves bcos govt would not give a free lunch" so much that it smacks of what I called "washing hand" syndrome by our govt on several social issues.
One of which is of cos our housing policy.

Notice how many forumers are really pouring out points on this thread? Few. Yet we are gathering more than 700+ views.
Evidently showing Singaporeans are all waiting to see around for someone to stick out their necks and wait for results except their own necks. All of us know what I am talking about.

This apathetic behaviour is literally killing our country's future.

Fully agree.
I remember a priest said this in a Mass; Many pray and ask the Lord, 'We are short of priest ,please give us more priests but not from my sons '.
