Waking up early in the morning to have my intelligence insulted. PM Lee this time talks about why Singapore cannot have a 2 party system like in America. Read the article here in TODAY. The mud-slinging has started, maybe elections might be round the corner, especially since the elections department is starting to work .
In short, he says that change has to take place, but no need opposition, just change within PAP. LHL talks about other democracies only advocate change. “change, change, change” but change to what? Citing examples from America, Austrailia and New Zealand, he is insulting the democracy system in those countries and also the intelligence of their citizenry. He also pointed out that the change in government in Taiwan to Ma Ying Jeou has not resulted in a improvement of the economy. Duh, which country can prosper right now under the current global economic climate.
So LHL is implying that we are not politically mature enough to have 2 parties, and that it is a dumb system as seen in other countries? Bollocks. I have enough of him. One vote for him last time because I was naive and apathetic. Another vote for him this time will be if I am retarded. Just hope that I get to vote this time.
Quoted from kakowi,
Well, the PAP has given its value proposition.
The PAP seems to concentrate on only single ideas:
(1) they are dominant, clean and good – so vote PAP
(2) theirs is a division 1 team – so vote PAP
(3) look at Taiwan (why does PAP and Opposition seems to think that Singapore will become like Taiwan the moment there are opposition in power?) – so vote PAP.
Can the Opposition give us their value proposition?
How about:
(1) they make the PAP cleaner and better – so vote Opposition
(2) they are also a division 1 team – the PAP is division 1 in intellect, they are division 1 in caring for the people and living as the people – so vote Opposition
(3) Taiwan? it is already hard enough being an opposition in singapore!
look at Singapore – another term of PAP in Singapore is equal to another term of gst increases, medical cost increases, food price increases, everything increase including, maybe, investment losses;
a good and clean PAP giving higher and higher increments that in reality benefit all the ministers who are all PAP members
- so vote Opposition to be YOUR 2nd opinion
Whatever is your value, do tell the voters – also. Because it takes time for the ideas to sink in. 8 days are far too short.
End quote.
With the passing of JBJ and the demise of SDP, I do worry about the quality of candidates the opposition party can summon this time round. They need to start showing their face more (such as showing more care and concern for the troubled Minibond and Pinnacle Notes investors) but then, once they start showing their hand, they will be character assasinated by you-know-who. Its a dilemma and the opposition parties has to thread the line carefully. Whatever it is, only a political tsunami the scale of Malaysia can wake up the men in white. Then they will stop eating hallucinating pills and think that there is nothing wrong with the country.
The opposition must do more work. Even if they are not of Division 1 calibre but an ordinary Ah Beng, Muthu or Ali, as long as they show care for the people and willing to countercheck the government, they have my vote!
On a sidenote, maybe I should start joining them in their activites instead of all talk no action too. Start by helping to be a counting agent or something.
Join SDP? cannot afford getting sued and hiring a lawyer.
Join WP? Too quiet, but they are competing in my GRC though.
Join SDA? Only Chiam is there, no other pulling factor.
Join NSP? Might be a dark horse, if Steve Chia, Sebastien Teo and Goh Meng Seng works harder. Wonder how active the party is too.
Okok, need to get back to Sg asap 1st, now the weather getting colder, not fun. Difficult to walk home at night and no time to go jogging since the sky is completely dark by 5 pm.
