Has tax deduction somehow discouraged people from making donations? Our reader noticed a plunge in donations after SG50 and wonder if we can help needy Singaporeans if this continues.

Singaporeans cannot just recognise and celebrate Singapore’s past 50 years only. To do so will be to disrespect pioneers’ pioneers like Tan Kim Seng, Tan Kah Kee, Tan Tock Seng, Lim Bo Seng, Lt Adnan and so on, whom all died before 1965 and thus contributed nothing in the past 50 years.

If one has read and understood the petition against his performance, one would see that his sexual orientation was not the main issue. Rather, the main concern was over his controversial performance history, fraught with lewd and sexualised acts, which would be inappropriate for Celebrate 2016.

According to www.pioneers.sg - “The Pioneer Generation package is not meant for all who turn 65 in 5, 10 or 25 years’ time. Rather, it is for the special generation of Singaporeans who were at least aged 16 in 1965 – or are aged 65 and older by the end of 2014.”

It is GE 2015...PAP Says With You, For You, For Singapore… Indeed... Since 1965... PAP has been With You for 50 long years... For 50 Long Years PAP has decided For You... because Singaporeans are mollycoddled they say For Singapore the Government is PAP, and PAP is the Government

On that day, we rejoiced in our nation’s birth, as well as what it has achieved over 50 years since Independence. It is bad enough that many citizens were denied TICKETS to the “LIVE NATIONAL DAY PARADE CELEBRATIONS”. Even former MP Tan Cheng Bock, who was instrumental in fostering racial unity, as well as always being humble, honest and upright in his dealings with all Singaporeans, was denied access to tickets to the National Day Parade.

At some SG50 goodie bag giveaway station, there were two bangladeshi nationals (by the way they were dressed, I assume they're workers on their day-off) standing by the sides watching as people joined the queue to collect their goodie bags.. after collecting mine, I walked past them telling them they too could join the line to collect the goodie bag.

I wanted to share on something which has been bugging me and my neighbours in Punggol lately... The shopkeeper (in his late 50s) at a paper stand near my place was talking to me this morning and the topic switched to the NDP. I asked him if his shop would be closed tomorrow and he quickly said, "Why should we close tomorrow? I'd rather open for business than watch the stupid parade!"

According to flight crews, my flight to Melbourne was delayed for more than 4 hours now , apparently due to 'SG50 celebrations' which caused an airspace congestion/closure.

Dear Singapore, as you celebrate your annual "We're so glad we're not part of Malaysia" celebration, let's see what we can be thankful for. If you were part of Malaysia your 100 dollars will be in ringgit and will have shrunk to a third of its value to $35.45.
