Have to agree with Calvin Cheng
To be honest, I don’t think this Government has the moral authority to tell people to be frugal and spend within their means. Unlike LKY.
They are too young, and also too wealthy (LKY was famously frugal and walked the talk).
If Ah Gong or Father tells you to use WiFi not 4G and save money, you probably will nod your head and say ok even if u not happy.
If your rich brother tells you the same thing, you will probably tell him to go fly a kite.
Which is what’s happening.
Thoughts of a Cynical Investor 
Old Fart was stingy with own money but not so much when govt could pick up the tab.
Frankly PAPies lost the plot as well as the moral authority when they started to float the idea of million dollar salaries. That was the time when Old Fart was busy getting rid of the old guard.
