WHY PAP ALWAYS SAY S'PORE WORKERS ARE LAZY AND NOT COMPETITIVE?

These is what the PAP used to say about the boomer generation aka the pioneer generation work ethics in the 1980s

27 September 1980
Of late, there has also been considerable debate over the diminishing work ethics of our workers. Employers have complained of the poor attitudes among some of our workers like job hopping, reluctance to do overtime or shift work, individualistic outlook, lack of initiative and lack of 2 a sense of responsibility. These bad work attitudes were listed in the EDB and Ministry of Labour reports published in the papers. The VITB's letter on what should be done to improve work attitudes has also been published

Now lets fast forward to 2015

Its very clear that the PAP considers everyone to be lazy from 1980 to 2015 except ofcourse themselves.

This goes to show that the PAP is now giving out pioneer generation packages saying that the pioneers had built the nation, but on the other hand in 1980 they said this same generation had bad work ethics? So how can this be?

Is this then not clear to anyone that the pioneer generation packages are a way to get oldies to vote for them

Even then in 1980s the employers said Singaporeans were lazy, so all Singaporeans are lazy except the PAP and their cronies and FTs?
