		<description>Recent events in Japan and Taiwan show us the way forward. Both ruling parties were voted out. If the Japanese and Taiwanese could do it what&#039;s to stop Sinkaporean. Have they not suffered enough? Unless given a chance by the electorate, the opposiotion party will never have a chance to prove their capabilty to rule. Please do not build a wall of reason as to why we must not seek change. Take a risk and vote in the opposition and if the Malaysian could do it why not Singaporean? They had shown us the way forward for a change.</description>

		<description>As much as we are talking about Singapore boleh, the mechanisms to ensure only MIW boleh and the rest tak boleh is being formulated. As much as we are inspired by the Malaysian election , a detailed study would have been initiated to ensure such things do not happen in Singapore. There will be control on all forms of media, rallies and even pre-requisite for candidates. We might see bigger GRC carefully crafted out of the electorate based on the pass results to ensure victory. Perhaps the one man one vote system will go. If the MIW lose despite all these measures, there is always military intervention as the old man said. Moral of the story is the the MIW will never allow power to be taken away from them and will do anything, I repeat anything to stay in power. There is too many skeletons in the cupboard.</description>

		<description>frankly, I am more prone in reading M&#039;sia blogs than our S&#039;pore blogs. What happened in the M&#039;sia GE is quite shocking though.

I tuned in to TV3 on that day, for the results and one state after another were lost. Scenes of the respective ministers of the lost states were faces of grim and some were tears of defeat.

Indeed, I was informed by a M&#039;sian blogger, that blogs greatly helped M&#039;sian during the vote.

M&#039;sia now i can see is changing rapidly especially in politics. The young wants a change. BN is beginning to look shaky as it&#039;s not appealing and to them it&#039;s a party of the past where racial policies were implemented. Now,I can see that there is a finding of a common national identity among all M&#039;sians.

In s&#039;pore to have a change maybe yes posibble but not so soon. Take note M&#039;sia is a large country with 13 states whereas S&#039;pore is an Island state. Politics here greatly differs where the ruling party take careful steps to make sure care for every s&#039;porean.no loopholes and hongbao when GE is coming.

Unless if happen one day we have a kinda credible opposition figure similar to Datuk Anwar Ibrahim. I admired him of being single-handedly bring all opposition together and make BN down to it&#039;s knees with the loss of the 5 states.

Mistake BN make is calling for an early GE with Anwar roaming from states to states making influential speeches.

so for now i would say M&#039;sa BOLEH but S&#039;pore for now TAK BOLEH</description>

		<description>When u have a government who thinks they know the best, unwilling to accept suggestions, imposing rules and laws they think is best for others, being complacent and cocky enough (like letting Mas Selamat run off), making people&#039;s like difficult (like raising GST), running a bias lopside one track favouring themselves elections rules and bankrupting the opposition, going in hibernation and keeping their mouth shut whenever there is a crisis, where every government dept is like a mini Lky Empire.

It will lead to the demise of the country just like the Egyptian empire.

Remember absolute power corrupts.</description>

		<description>Let us allow the one who tied the knots to untie them(jie lin hai si si lin ren), there are too many complex knots made by the Leadership for the past four decades.

Other than Chia Thye Poh and a handful of other Activists, almost all others including many rebels and opponents such as David Marshall bought into the Indoctrination that there exist a demi-god capable of providing peace and prosperity. They are so right! The LEADERS get the PROSPERITY and we the People got PEACE. Not too bad if we do not have to struggle too much to SURVIVE, but oh my! look at the frail old folks struggling everywhere!

Now, even in such a situation, Singaporeans will still be tak boleh(unable) buak apa apa(do anything), unless one can do a Mas Selamt Magic.
The System is implemented to shackle and tie if not imprison any dissidents and dissenting views. The people are shower constantly for brainwashings with subtle threats such as our womenfolks have to work as foreign maids, our economy will tumble and what not.

Imagine before an election and the incumbent has taken some one third of the Country due to walkovers and another many GRC Wards which the Incumbent has much advantage. Btw, do Singaporeans have the cohesiveness? I think not and would like to suggest a test anyone can do; talk to your friends and families about politics, how many agree with You will be the answer for the political cohesiveness of Singaporean voters. And the different races, religions and educational backgrounds/ professions have not been factor in yet.

Singaporeans boleh jaga diri(can care for oneself), angkat bodeh(adulate) dan cakap besar(talk big) such as &#039;we will not leave anyone behind&#039; and other such rhetorics, but hardly delivered.
Does this mean everything is hopeless? Not quite, we are about to be jolted by the reality that &#039;WE CANNOT DEPEND ON OUR POLITICAL LEADERS FOR OUR SURVIVAL AND WELLBEINGS&#039;</description>

		<description>The alternative to the PAP is the SDP and WP and other Opposition parties. Singapore does NOT have religious parties ! Are you trying to do some kind of silly fear-mongering ? Show me one religious party in Singapore ? None !

Muslims make up only 15% of the population. Even if every single Muslim voted for an Islamic party - they simply cannot garner enough votes to put that party into Parliament.

Stop talking nonsense about religious parties in Singapore.

The only credible and hardworking Opposition is the SDP along with the WP. They are the realistic alternatives to the PAP. Should they unite - the PAP will be in serious trouble. Remember - without all sorts of political gimmicks - there would be plenty more Opposition MP&#039;s in our Parliament. The PAP speaks of meritocracy - but with all the election gimmicks that they have - the PAP itself does NOT practice meritocracy ! Dead Poet is right about how some of our Ministers are able to be where they are because of the backdoor route to Parliament. Had it been a fair one-on-one fight - many PAP personalities would become like Samy Vellu.</description>

		<description>Singaporeans can if the opposition candidates are credible. But it seems they go for one election and switch party or resign on conflict of opinions after that.

If they can be united under good leadership, they should be able to form the next coalition government.</description>

		<description>As I said it depends what the alternative is. Religious parties? Leaders only trying to sway and not act?

Remember what Plato and Aristotle said about Democracies.</description>

		<description>Dr Syed post promted me to write this,
who have a brilliant population to win awards all over the world.Our citizens are constantly winning world awards. Yet the government thinks we are dumb and that only they know how to select the best. Yes, they slec the best, the best who put their monetary gains in front of duty to the nation. I fthey think they can earn more in the private sector than do not join politics. Politics is a honourable profession , in Singapore we have made it a whore. The beat money secures the best whore</description>

		<description>Singapore would not be a single party state if the single seat rule had remained. For all the self glorification of the ruling party it is a stark reality and every single citizen knows that the GRC system is but another effective tool to retain power. It is one the challenge the great mentor minister would not answer and yet no one dares to put to him.

We hear about BN ministers losing their seats. Just think how many Ministers would have lost their seats in Singapore, including the PM, should it be a single seat issue. With 33.3% of the votes the opposition has only two seats. Is this not a joke. People know this and have lost all respect, especially for Ministers who cannot get elected but enter through the back door.
Samy Velu might have lost but he has gained my respect by refusing to enter through the back door through Senatorship, he is a man of honour even in defeat. For that he has gained my respect for respecting the people&#039;s judgement. Yet we have Ministers who have entered politics without such moral authority and yet declare themselves to be god&#039;s gift to the population and pay themselfs obscene amount of salary. This is the sad state of Singapore. As the years go by I see a man who fought for the nation now trying desparately to keep his progeny and cronies in power. He gain honour while living but will be deemed a tyrant in death. why? Because no one dares say anything against him when he is alive, not if you want to save your underwear. As a citizen I feel sick. I am not an exemplary person having committed a lots of sins but at least I can die peacefully for I have not cheated who have trusted me. he who sows will reap and his generation after him will be cursed. God Bless</description>
