To be honest, sometimes... they need a smack in the face.
They want fewer foreigners working there, but they don't want to do the work themselves.
They want employers to hire more Singaporeans by offering higher pay, but don't want to pay more for goods and services.
They say foreign talent are taking away their high paying PMET jobs, but they don't want to realise that if these foreigner weren't here, neither will the jobs. It is not Singaporeans who are drawing those companies to base the high level jobs in Singapore, but it is Singapore itself... its laws, its policies and its foreigner friendly environment. You don't see MNCs clamouring to set up their HQs in Malaysia or Indonesia.
They want development, prosperity and higher standard of living. But they don't see a problem if senior citizens > working adults by 20xx.
They want more benefits to get married, buy HDB and have kids. But they don't see a problem when there are fewer working adults to pay tax or the fact that they are chasing away their singles with their discriminatory policies, and it's these folks who by default pay much more tax per head than non-singles.
Don't they sound like the malays in malaysia to you?They want fewer foreigners working there, but they don't want to do the work themselves.

They want malays to dominate the economy but they don't want to work hard for it.
They complain the malaysian chinese are racist in employment opportunities but they don't realise they lack even basic communication skills.
They want more money but they don't want to work for it.
They want others to talk in languages they can understand but they don't want to learn another language.
Basically they just want to sit down, do nothing and wait for the money, lots of money to drop from the sky.
When they don't get it, they blame the gov who is currently bending backwards to their every whim and fancy

But I'm reading on some finance magazines to brush myself up with all those current issues, hopefully it helps.
