Does the ruling party really care for ALL s’poreans?

I am always puzzled by how badly the ruling party treated s’poreans staying in the opposition wards, who also pay taxes which contributed to the ruling party’s salaries. Why should s’poreans be deprived of their rights just because they are living in the opposition wards? Can these s’poreans be exempted from paying taxes then?

Is it ? try Pavlov’s Dog. sometimes a place is sick bcos stick is being used to instil fear.

LHL was the one who appointed Jaya as DPM in aug 04 when he became PM, and a year later, appointed WKS as DPM when Tony stepped down.

Bullshit lah. When LHL became PM in Aug 04 , he appointed Jayakumar as the DPM, along with INCUMBENT Tony Tan. It was only when Tony stepped down a year later than WKS became DPM.

Writer should get their facts right. Tsk tsk.

Surely everyone must know that.

Political survival for the Opposition would only takes place after the demise of lky, and that’s for sure.Lky can not deny and defy that facts.

Have a good day bros and sis in politics.

Exactly. I am a supporter of dan tui.
I also do not see PAP losing in the next 2 elections.
The fact is the people have spoken.
They accept. Acceptance comes in many forms, if you understand what that can mean.

in my view, a small pocket of singaporeans may want change. But the fact remains, they are not Convinced enough this is what they want.

Yes, in a democracy, whatever is the status quo, the people are responsible, ultimately. 1 single opinion or voice or view is not sufficient to make a change. It is a collective effort.

This is prolly the most unique country on earth where the system is based on democracy.

When was the last time any of the parties had a forum?I only remember the Reform Party most recently and also the Singapore Democratic Party.

The incumbent alternative parties, the Singapore Democratic Alliance and the Worker’s Party have gone all quiet with regards to public talks, forums or recruitment drives.The two ‘approved’ candidates can only operate within the SMC unfortunately.

Just go and visit them personally and you will understand that they have barely anybody left from the last general elections.There has been infighting, splits, defections, etc.The PAP knows this.They can go to the polls with their eyes closed.

Having met Grassroots personnel over the weekend, it seems that an impending election will be called within the next two quarters latest.Many walkabouts have taken place over the past weekend and more are done so during the week by Resident’s Committee.I know so as my neighbors and friends are in the Resident’s Committees and Grassroots.And my neighborhood MP visited my colleague’s doorstep for the first time in 2 decades.

I am studying these groups and their respective leaderships.I have seen wet market stall operators, taxi drivers, food vendors, newspaper distributors, medical doctors, lawyers, teachers, real estate and insurance agents heading different committees and sub-committees.Their networking is immense.But their intentions are questionable.But they have the numbers.As I have mentioned before, the youth are clearly under represented.The Alternative parties should engage Singaporeans below the ages of 50 and they would have won half the battle.It is this under 50 age group that is most likely less favorable to the PAP mandate.

Majority of Singaporeans relate to the PAP out of their own selfish needs.They think of themselves only and not for the greater nation.Probably because they don’t identify with Singapore as a country anymore.Extremely sad when you see your kids growing up in the 70′s, 80′s and 90′s singing the national day songs patriotically.Singapore as a country is finished.It is turning into a hotel.Can this rot be reversed?

It all depends on the Opposition or Alternative parties.They have to work together and present a united front and be actively recruiting quality.Singapore desperately needs new leadership in the mold of the first generation PAP leaders.Maybe a new party should step up to replace the WP and SDA.Could Reform Party be the savior?

‘ if pap really win every seat what will happen?
will it be better or worse for singapore?’
…………………………………………………..

Don’t worry. PAP will want to preserve these two well-behaved opposition MPs who are the showpieces for the PAP’s version of democracy. They are only afraid of more ‘Chees’ & ‘JBJs’ getting into parliament.

As LHL had mentioned in the 2006 GE if more than 10 opposition MPs get into parliament he would fix them up and get rid ot them so that he can concentrate on running the country.

WHY?

BECOS,

He is the man, we need to watch, becos everything that come and go has got him done.He is the man, the man with the real political watch.

When he is alive, no opposition can win as many or more Parliamentary seats in Singapore.Today, it is there for you to know that nothing would give many more seats to Opposotion.

I am not scaring or make Opposition loose confident of winning, but frankly the status quo would not change, unless and until the demise of lky.

THAT’S THE TRUTH.

SO WHAT MUST BE DONE?NOTHING BUT THE WILL OF LIFE WOULD PREVAIL.

I have the confident that the Opposition would only be stronger, get carried and be fully supported by the Great Singaporeans, only after the demise of lky.
The poliitical floodgate shall be over crowded by many Great Singapore who prefer to join the Opposition.

THAT’S THE WILL OF LIFE BUT NOT THE POLITICAL WILL OF PAP OR OPPOSITION!

Look at today’s pap, what happen?The happenings around them prove that pap is no longer the Party for Singaporeans.A Party which has lost touch with the Great Singaporeans, only to wait and see that the time would come for a big change after the demise of lky.

And look at the Opposition, what happen?The happenings around them prove that Opposition is seems to be weaken but not really.Opposition has garnered local constituents’ support, syrely but slowly, only to wait and see that the time for ‘political bubble burst’ would come for a big change after the demise of lky.

My opinion but not perception is for you guys to take a look at what going to happen next after lky’s demise.

Be steady Opposition, and relax, enjoy on what you guys in the Opposition do for now.Take it easy.

Have a good day.

The article singles out only primarily two SMCs that will be absorbed, not a lot and that is the average number of SMCs that “vanish” every election.

2001 – Bukit Gombak, Kampong Glam and Boon Lay were absorbed

2006 – Ayer Rajah and Bukit Timah were absorbed

While it is speculative, the ones absorbed usually have been around longer. Out of the 5, 3 were due to the incumbent’s retirement – both cases in 2006.

Regards

Perhaps nearer to Tuas/Pioneer eh. That might be plausible..

In the west. Don’t be surprised if two or three new SMCs appear there.

Maybe Ayer Rajah SMC might be resurrected. Or they could very well create one in the north, perhaps call it Seletar SMC, taking in the private estates along Yio Chu Kang Road and a bit of Buangkok.

very good good wor.
