Nowadays Singaporeans are blame for everything bad that is happening in Singapore. Littering the public places, pushing and shoving as MRT trains arrive, not being gracious in accepting foreign talents and etc. In a recent letter to the ST Forum, a Singaporean complaint about the attitudes of locals during the Kindness... 

I suspect PAP had always wanted an avenue like TR kept opened; so long as as it does not challenge their mainstream mouthpiece like ST and others. Because where else can they feel the pulse of the ordinary folks without having to pay for it?…..since TR is paying out of it’s own pockets to exist and people like you and...
