Singaporeans ought to be wary of adhering to such
rubbish talk and be so very discerning and scrutinize such
condescending … instead of bleating away like sheep. Esp[ecially
more so when one is afflicted with megalomania!
Under a one-party system that we now have ( some forced
to endure), who is checking whom? Who is balancing accounts? No
independent source/body can attest to the authenticity of what is
put out in terms of statistics or …
The incumbents know that their days in power is
numbered. Now the gameplan is to hold on to power at any costs. A
giveaway is the CEO of GIC. Is it not
conflict of interests? Worse still, is that inspiteof billions lost
in so-called investments, no one for sure knows if it was really
invested or the statistics put out by the lame media is
transparent/unbiased and why is there no independent body or
ombudsman of sorts to query, check and balance claims, costs or ….
If one were to extroplate from the aformentioned one cannot help
but feel that from HDB,CPF, Health and so many other
numerous institutions operate in the same manner – ie. patently
lacking in transparency, in accountablilty and so on so
forth.
In other words, simply put, Singaporeans gave them a
”blank cheque” of sorts to do as they please and today the mess is
percolating/permeating many aspects of our daily living. To deny is
to delude onself.
Why is there this obsession with GDP
growth? It all boils down these and feels like it – inisterial
wages being pegged to GDP figures is the motivation.
Of course, to be able to partake of the economic pie one has to be
in power. Hence the unchecked influx of foreigners. Employers and
MIWs benefit immensely.
The incumbents no longer seem to care for the citizens
or the nation. It is a party that has degenerated into nepotism,
cronyism; is avaricious and woefully venal in its ways. It is the
fear of being ’’found out’’ that old fart fears n now he is
vehemently and stubbornly is very much against any form of
two-party or …
Why do you think that the incumbents wer always were
wary of people like JBJ and Dr Chee. They knew that
the latter were people who will ask questions, and they will be
’’cornered’’. They also knew that these people had convictions and
were willing to risk it all for the people. The incumbents never
want people like this in their own party nor in the opposing
…
Just look around the PAP MIWS and MPs –
sadly, none of them come across as sincere or people-centred. It is
palpable that ethics, principles, sense of justice …. has been
jettisoned for political correcteness and be rewarded/earn one’’s
keeps.
All they do is sing to the chorus of a few and for
political orthodoxy n patronage they seem to have sacrificed
principles, conviction, ethics on the altar of political power and
greed.
Undeniably, the one-party system is an albatross around
each Singaporean’s neck and though not cohered in expression nor
articulated explicity – it does seem to coalesce into this –
wanting changes desperately to undo or stop this monstrous
Leviathan of a system that has added to our woes, just not
economically but socially as well. Do you think scholarships to
foreign students would be given out so very easily if there was a
two-party system or foreigners be allowed to replace locals by
unfair means when it comes to jobs? Singaporeans forgoing
market-rate wages is SUBSIDIZING employers and
foreigners. Come 2016, the foreigners-turned-citizens would most
likely vote in PAP and that was the gameplan from the
outset. Locals are dreaming/sleepwalking.
Politicians of any hue cannot and do not decide our
fates/destinies. It is by our voting patterns that we change and
transform … n that can happen only when and if that responsibility
is a reflection of oneself.
Well said.
I think the whole passage needs to be in bold.
