An old message regurgitated

Change has to take place in Singapore but change must take place not (between parties) but within the PAP….As long as the PAP changes itself, and continues to provide clean and good government, and the lives of Singaporeans improve, the country is much better off with one dominant, strong, clean, good party.

This is nothing new. Singaporeans cannot expect the pap to change. First after 50 years of power, they have lost their ability to change. Second, life has been so easy and confortable for the pap politicians, why would they want to change the status quo ?
The only way Singaporeans can bring about change is to force in onto the pap at the ballot box. If they chose to ignore the election result and bring in the military that is the pap problem.

LHL talks as if there is no PAP MP or Ministers who has been charged with corruption. PAP talks as if everybody subscribes to its ideology too. LHL is really detached from the people.

Change to me, means vote them OUT.

This is all along PAP’s propaganda message. LKY and GCT have also repeated it many times. It is called political survival 101.

If by now Singaporeans are still gullible enough to be fooled once aagin, I have nothing more to say and maybe hang in Sydney for the long run!

Fooled me once shame on you fooled me twice shame on me!

i think pap needs a stronger message.

they know “change” is the operative word for the political scene all over the world. just saying that they will “change” within the party, so that the party will continue to enjoy an iron-style one-country-one-party-ruling powers, doesn’t sound like change to us.

they need to be more specific: what is the CHANGE?

The key words in the sentence are; “…as long as …”.

Can we entrust the lives of millions into a sentence that begins with “as long as…?“.

a. As long as I am rich, i do not have think about being poor.
b As long as I am gainfully employed, I do not have to think about being jobless.
c. As long as I go for my regular check ups I do not have to think about falling sick.
d. As long as I tell you that I am good, clean and honest, you do not have to think about bad things, corruption and dishonesty.

Until they day the PM can GAURANTEE that his declared good, clean govt will always be there, how can one put all his eggs into one basket?

I do not trust for one moment, not at the blink of an eye, that the PM is wiser than wisdom.

NEVER ever put your eggs into the same basket. NEVER.
