Everyone must work harder and take risks but the government must never take a loss on their books by allowing for cheaper land price…one day the land price issue will be what sinks the Singapore ship and kills everyone. the writing is on the wall.
One road good walk?😂
Uncertainty is not a stop sign. Young Singaporeans can still choose their road.

For a generation who have experienced vibrant economy, their advice is based on those era. This is uncharted territory for us, so no matter how experienced they are, their words holds no water…..
There new ways for young locals to deliver food.
And more ways for locals to become PHV drivers too.
Good jobs only for talented foreigners!🤭
Precisely to build new paths;
To help the ruling party develop sounder policies for Singapore, citizens especially the young Singaporeans should consider voting for more opposition members to ensure a more balanced Parliament, particularly in addressing the high cost of living and low TFR.
Young Singaporeans should walk a new road for themselves and not fear uncertainty: Jeffrey Siow.
The Singapore government has made a clear commitment to provide assistance. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and his government team emphasized in national policies such as "Singapore Together" that Singaporeans should not face the uncertainties of economic and future transformation alone. The government's role has shifted from "strict supervision" to a protective shield and stepping stone, standing shoulder to shoulder with young people.
The government provides substantial support to young people who are taking new paths and resisting uncertainty, primarily in the following three areas:
1. A safety net for workplace skills
To reduce the fear of stepping out of one's comfort zone, the government has introduced strong economic and training support:
* Jobseeker Support Scheme: Provides transitional financial assistance to employees who lose their jobs due to industry transformation, giving young people breathing room as they look for new career paths.
* SkillsFuture Level-Up Programme: Provides substantial training subsidies for Singaporeans who wish to switch careers and explore emerging fields, lowering the barriers to entry into new industries.
2. Policy incentives for pursuing dreams and starting a business
The education and youth sector actively promotes a culture that "allows for failure and encourages innovation":
* Perceive the world through the five senses: The Ministry of Education publicly encourages students to boldly challenge old ways of thinking, broadly engage with the world, and practice what they've learned, emphasizing that young people "should not be afraid of failure."
* Multiculturalism and Inclusivity: The new generation of Singaporean spirit emphasizes diversity, giving young people with different aspirations the opportunity to develop in non-traditional fields they love (such as sports, arts, and startups).
3. The right to speak and co-creation of policies
The government is closing the gap with young people, allowing them to directly participate in shaping the country's future:
* The SG Youth Plan, driven by the National Youth Council (NYC) of Singapore, encourages young people to launch bottom-up social initiatives and provides them with resources to help their ideas become a reality.
* Mentoring SG: With the support of the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, a strong network of mentors is built to provide one-on-one guidance to young people when they face life or career transitions.
In conclusion, The government's core policy is: "You are responsible for bravely paving the way, and the country is responsible for providing a safety net." While facing the unknown requires the hard work and ambition of young people, the Singapore government is continuously optimizing its policies to ensure that every young person willing to try new paths has sufficient resources and support.

Not only the platform work, but a lot of restaurants and eating places also using illegal foreign workers in the kitchen, but the fishy pap party just close one eye and all these problems still remains.
Are singaporeans rich or have good pay jobs? Of course not as more than 87% of people lives in hdb flats and not private houses/condos, it's one of many examples of failed management to singapore by fishy pap party, not ashame?
The real every day singaporeans: Majority people said those who trust and support and choosing the fishy pap party surely every year to get another fresh rounds of many types of jabs, and when they want to travel overseas, they take another rounds of many types of jabs again of course.
