Singapore's greatest advantage is how small we are. That means we can pivot very quickly, adjust to new situations, and push things out far quicker than a much larger country. However, our political offices are now filled with Chinese eunuchs (and a few of the other races) that do not have the will or even genetic ability to put their foot down, and push for what the population needs. Most Singaporeans know that the haze is not the government's fault, but are angry over the lack of response and inaction. What is the point of serving two years and fighting with the other Sg crabs in the metaphorical bucket if we can literally get smoked to death by our neighbours in a couple of months? Inaction is the way of the Singaporean political elite. As long as the KPI is hit on paper, nvm, we move on, close two eyes and then secretly buy property near the new MRT stations. Actual stone-cold retards. The price is then paid with the suffering of your own local populace. The longer the reaction to the haze is postponed and inept, the more foreign capital we lose. We are a whore of a nation. We must keep our regulars (China/Western money laundering) coming back! The weather is already so hot, now haze, endless construction - what would keep an expat with money to contribute from then just moving to another location? Money moves to where it is best treated. We used to be the premium KTV girl. Now we are becoming an aged, wrinkly courtesan with the clap and distended, geriatric nipples like an old dairy cow (nationally speaking). On multiple levels, the haze has exposed the ineptitude in our ruling class. The seeds for WP winning and socialism in our nation may be set with every day that the island breathes in this smog. It is what it is.
