PAP has done a good job so far, it's been 50 years and the results are plain to see.
Personally I grew up in a 1 room flat in blk 170 Toa Payoh, father is a hardcore criminal, social workers came to my HSE to ask why I didn't attend school when my parents didn't register. I flunked my O levels. Worked as a telephone operator, bell hop, sales assistant.
I took up a Diploma in Sales and Marketing with MIS 80% subsided by the govt, progressed in my sales assistant job to sales supervisor, branch manager.
Today I am a successful property agent. All this would not be possible for someone with no connections like me if not for the successful policies of PAP which allowed me to change my life when my attitude changed and was willing to work up and upgrade at the age of 23.
Recently in the past 10 years, there were things that needed addressing and I am happy that PAP is showing signs that they are willing to listen and willing to modify.
