The PAP are experts in loaning you things, and telling you they are yours, but wait till you try to take it back.
CPF - The money is yours. But you cannot touch it. And you can only take out how much we tell you and when we tell you. But hey, the money is yours. Ok?
HDB- Yes, you own the flat, but must give back after 99 years, ok? But it says on the contract I am a tenant. No, no, you own it.
Car - Yes, its your car, you own it, you can do anything you want with it. But you have to get rid of it after 10 years. Didn't you just say the car is mine? Correct, but I order you to sell it within 10 years. You must comply.
Private property - Its mine, all mine, because its freehold. Yes and no. We want to build an expressway through your property, so we will take it back from you now. You must sell, you have no choice.
Democracy - Yes, you can elect any govt. and party you want, as long as its the PAP. If you criticize the govt. you will be punished like a dictatorship. So, democracy is another illusion.
