I like your speech last night. Instead of treating us like children handing us some treats and reprimanding us subtly that we should be more appreciative like previous years, this year you treated like adults. Yes, singaporeans have grown, children have become mature adults, no more sweets for us. We want to be included in plans and strategies make by government. That is a step I am proud to see from our government, and hopefully future actions will confirm the changes.
That said, I am still unsure of the middle income plans. These days where you see a bigger range of families falling into middle income, I feel there a need to zoom in and plan differently for the top and bottom of the tier. The frustration of being stuck in the upper middle tier for example, where all the advantages slip you by but you are no where rich enough to feel comfortable. Can the government make us feel appreciated while we strive to contribute to our nation's progress? Hey we work hard too, encourage us to work harder.
Yours truly pleased,
Jas
