		<description>I&#039;m totally for a government not run by a female. To keep it short, Look at countries who are run by a female(s), they are either assassinated or running a screwed up country. (eg. philippines)... nuff said.</description>

		<description>I says serve them right. Are they as prejudiced as the Christian fundamentalist? Now they have to swallow the pill of the PAP.

Like the gay, you are not yet deceiving of the right! Isn&#039;t that stupid?</description>

		<description>Preferably, we should have a female head of state with power, all of us know the power of motherlove, nothing is stronger. Man(gender) by nature are incapable of love, they are prone to fun and thrill seekings. What say You ladies?</description>

		<description>If female become full minister, she won&#039;t become corrupted because
she would be paid $millions.

But most probably her husband may become corrupted because he is
not entitled to be paid $millions, like what has happened in the
Philippines.

So, logically speaking, female should not be promoted to full
minister. Senior MOS is already very good lah.</description>

		<description>&quot;it risks raising the ire of at least 50% of the electorate&quot;

That sentence alone put me off reading the rest of the article. It gives Singaporean women, or simply Singaporeans, too much credibility, period.

Other than the very small minority of internet voices, Singaporeans basically don&#039;t give a shit what happens in local politics.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s the beauty of it all - the decision ultimately belongs to the voter. The onus is on the politician to listen to and convince the voter, whether it is music or noise to his ears. Not the other way around. The voter votes according to what he think is right, not what the politician thinks is best. He doesn&#039;t get what he needs or wants, the politician doesn&#039;t get the vote.</description>

		<description>Dr Seet Ai Mei was Acting minister for MCYS for a brief period of 2 - 3 mths b4 elections was held. She was narrowly defeated by Ling H D (SDP). Many think tht her loss could be narrowed down to 1 episode when she was at the mkt, shook hands with a fishmonger and later washed hands, many perceived this to be looking down on others. But I&#039;m also sorry to say Ling was a worthless and useless MP, 1 term he was defeated by Ang M S, tht really showed how much of wk he has done in Bukit Gombak. He went on to say chiam talked c**k in parliament, I thought tht was very unbecoming of an MP. Welllets nt say sporeans hv nt given  a chanve to opp MPs butif u hv men like Ling u may as well forget it.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t even know who is Grace Fu until two days ago when her face appeared on TV when her promotion to become Snr MOS was announced.
One look at her immediately put me off. I don&#039;t wish to elaborate.

At least, Mrs Lim Hwee Hua is more active on the ground.  I think Mrs Lim makes a better minister because she is more sincere, forthright, people-oriented and has the leadership qualities.

I hope in the next cabinet reshuffle, PM Lee would give her a full minister&#039;s post.

In addition, Dr Lily Ng should be highly rewarded because she has been the only PAP MP who really spoke out for the people persistently without losing heart, despite being &quot;sniped and sneered&quot; so many times by the vultures and crocodiles.</description>

		<description>Is this a &#039;relevant&#039; topic ?

&quot;No female full Minister in Cabinet&quot;
Why not choose something like
&quot;No elected full minister in cabinet&quot;

Instead of asking why no female as full minister, why not simply raise the question of  electing full minister by the citizen of Singapore rather than conformist by LKY. Could we have committed and honourable gahman like ex-president Ong elected by people as president ?

Who really care about minister been female or male if they only manned to serve only the PAP but not citizen of Singapore ? Did we not realize that majority of ministers seem to be partisan and serve only to the LEE ? Didn&#039;t the minister been selected only as Lee&#039;s conformist and inability to &#039;do the right thing rather to do thing right (To cover their ass by not raising real issues)&#039;&quot;

Well, did Grace Fu speak up for the people in parliament like Siew (If so, where are the Youtube video ?) If these minister doesn&#039;t even dare to voice out publicly, why will  they want to help the citizen ? Due to moral authority ? Or just tell us NO CHOICE ?

Find a minister who dare to raise question and question policy against the establishment, not one who give defensive argument that lack substance and become protective of themselves OR WORSE, KEEP THEIR FUC@#$@KING MOUTH SHUT LIKE PRESIDENT NATHAN AND STILL PAY &gt; $3 MILLIONS</description>

		<description>I appreciate MP Teo Ho Pin for asking the DPM(cum minister of Home Affairs) Wong Kan Seng about the four hour delay in informing members of the Public. No other MP including Oppositions, did pose any question during the Budget Debates, regarding Mas Selamat’s Escape from a toilet in a detention centre.

PAP MP Dr Lily Neo is one MP that deserve some recognitions for her concerns for the poor, she has done much herself on the ground to look after the poor in her constituency and had asked frequently for more helps for them in the Parliament Debates. I believe she is sincere and genuinely cares for the people.

NMP Sylvia Lim is a calibre opposition member who is cool and measured, making her an effective, competent and illustrious parliamentarian. It will be good for the people and the Country once she is elected. Her experiences in the Police Force and her legal knowledge will be useful for the functions of a parliamentarian. Do wish the voters in the district that she stands for election will be wise to put her into the Parliament comes the next election.

		<description>Hi Shoestring,

If grassroot spoke to you, I doubt you&#039;d think he&#039;s necessarily representing PA.

Look... just say PAP is a pretty huge organisation and... some are taking liberty banning as they so wish. Being a well-known vocal, there will be some... issues to iron out. Say, Prof Tommy Koh and Mr David M and MM will all have varied views on speaking out.

Maybe nobody bothers about the &#039;old ole rules&#039; even before the senior statesman has departed.

I am not here to give a public lecture of PAP&#039;s history... on civic involvements. It&#039;s... not really about rebels and such, since I doubt anyone would expect to be successful in that in the current situation.

But so said, we do have some issues about &#039;immoral&#039; personal gains... Of cos, everyone is hoping for a better place to &#039;gainfully&#039; live in...

Just see how Mr Khaw is fighting in his health sector. And of cos, it&#039;s not acceptable for attacking just for the sake of attacking or becos it&#039;s party difference.

As for succession... It&#039;s as I have said, it&#039;s just too early to be a topic. And from what is now on the table, MM may have well spotted a forth gen political leader... and he/she is obviously not currently in this parliament. If that is, he&#039;s now observing, and it&#039;d be even more personal to himself for the media to intercept.

Shoestring, I myself is a big raiser of issues... even sensitive ones. Hahahaha... About now quite well-known oredi. Raising issues is just prompt to offend people since people would have interests... But then how?

YP... Ti Lik, Gomez and myself are all related by YP. But we are all different. Do I look like those who intents to march even with CASE to parliament building? Hahahahaha...

I don&#039;t think I have responded saying those who want a lady full minister is anti PAP or what...(???) Have I?

But if you people seriously want the gahmen to listen up, you&#039;d have to be serious... not meaning you must go on streets lah~ You must be sincere, and use common sense lah... ... You think that when Elfred raises anything, he expects every single minister to act??? Do you expect MM to just trust what you wrote?

Same here with my blog. It&#039;s up to you to mock, to scold, to suggest, to debate and so on... I provide the option, you can prove yourself.

Whether you are what... it&#039;s up to you to show. I am known to be rather open. If I got a related blog, I don&#039;t mind be open about it and the ban. If you guys are pro-open, it&#039;s up to you to show.

Point is, it&#039;s not Elfred or YP... It&#039;s you.

In politics... the first habit is to just confront. If you people think who shouldn&#039;t confront or being outright so as to fulfill some office-politically smarts... Something is wrong.

If it is really a ban, then it&#039;s a ban. And I, as I am, would probably talk openly about it.

People are only bothering you with what you can&#039;t confront... not what you can.

		<description>Hi Elfred,

I understand that you, and a few others who were apparently pretty much involved in YPAP or YPAP forum, are &#039;banned&#039; from YPAP. So you started a blog and publicized it.

Hopefully, this is a sign that PAP is willing and making efforts to interact with citizens on the Internet, outside PAP affiliated sites. It is a good sign, albeit through a wayang ban (my opinion only ah, may be wrong).

However, interacting is not enough. You need to listen to what people are saying. By your responses, it seems you are not getting the point. I believe none of us purposely set out to whine or rebel against the government but that everyone who voices his concerns does so as a means of feedback in hope for a better future for Singapore.

We ask questions. The government laments the lack of suitable talents for succession. We ask if the recruitment criteria were overly restrictive. If so, perhaps there needs to be a change. Hopefully, they will be taken in good spirit. A defensive stance won&#039;t work, at least for me.

Best wishes.</description>

		<description>Hi Shoestring,

Frankly, I just can&#039;t be bothered if there is or not a female full minister. Point is, if anyone here die die think we must have, suggest one which really fits the bill.

If it is not a must, then there is really nothing here to brood over with, right? Hahahahahaha...

Anyway, any chio bu-$ wanna enter politics, I both hands up in support. At least something to look forward to see when kena parliament. Hahahahaha...

Ciao~ Untill the next hot topic.

		<description>More than men or women ministers, we need leaders who keep their promises.

		<description>Elfred,
Yeah, you need a break. Nobody said it&#039;s a must. So, no need to be agitated by questions. Rest well.</description>
