How u read coverage of NDP?

Wiki : The military parade is now mostly ceremonial, though soldiers from time immemorial up until the late 19th century fought in formation. Parades may also hold a role for propaganda purposes, as it is used to exhibit the apparent military strength of one's nation

It is not about the party usual patronizing manner to the State of Singapore, wearing their party uniform at National Day event.

It is not about the party's total control and direct order to local media in the compulsive airing of ndp in all the major channels, the courtesy of the de facto propaganda ministry euphemistically called Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts.

Its about the one and only picture in the party-controlled newspaper, of the pm the next day and is not even on front page, taken as a group with former PM Goh who is in the centre and dpm on his left and not photo of the pm emerging from the motorcade on the front page.

Is that party which its big on showcasing, signalling something to the voters?

Imagine when you are 45 years old, you are always looking at your PSLE results of straight As every birthday.

That is what I see every national day.

Fishing Village - NOW.

So, no details on teenager or adult life ?

Not forgeting how the old man built the nation. (Actually it was his team)

Why ?

Cos they have achieved nothing but price increase and service standard drop during the dragon prince era.

What he have achieved ????

Many locals believed he is still pulling the strings behind the scene since the creation of the title 'sm' . Many ask sm or pm higher? The ambiguity becomes more jialat with creation of 'mm' title.

Some locals also think that there is no one really 'in charge' now.

2 former PM now arrived at ndp as part of the show b4 him and not quietly seated b4 the thing start.

Collective leadership is now official or wat . Is someone big leaving the political scene anytime soon ?

Any comments.

Now they dun even want to show that the pm is man in charge. 2 former PM now arrived at ndp as part of the show and not quietly seated b4 the thing started.

True, i was watching at my pub when one half drunk westerner asked me, actually who is the highest among your govt, is it the one that arrive last on the merc??, so i told him, in singapore, the one who arrive first in merc are the highest, so MM and SM arrived first, follow by PM and then the puppet President.

You forgot to mention the fireworks going around in the neighbourhood.

Any wonder where your money have gone to ?

As for the man in charge, the dragon have become lizard when issues surfaced.

He is either oversea or no where to be seen when flood or lapse of security happened.

Then, he will appear suddenly a few weeks later and tell the people that it is a honest mistake and it is not a big deal.

So, what is he busy with ? travelling oversea all the time ?

When he can stamp his authority and take harsh actions to solve the issue, he is behaving like a outsider and commenting on the issue like he is not involved.

How can he and his gang be trusted and respected when there are issues, the whole chain gang have to take cover under the wing of a old man ?

No one is responsible, nothing is changed, no solution.

What have he achieved seriously ? Have any issues be resolved under his command or lack of awareness ?

He have shown enough disappointment to be kicked out of the zone.

Think the situation of 'no one in charge' will get more pronounced until someone who can claim 'supreme leadership' is quickly named.

POOR OF singapore..UNITE!!

How about the S$0.387 Billion cash spent on the political-yog?

likeyou SG

oic...thks for your information.

angel7030 SG

How long the political-YOG which spent 3 times in excess of the first estimates to the tune of S$0.387 Billion cash, can it burn in the sky

big_money.jpg money pile image scboo A big pile of money is spent on the political -YOG.

If you look at YOG in singapore, unlike other countries who had organised it, they had lots of sponsorship from coca cola to Nike to MacDonalds, but Singapore one got no sponsor, so where do you expect the money to come from....from the coffer lah!!

This year ndp is a bit funny

1- 2- 3 arrived in their big Mercedes

Old man re-assert his authority

Never happened in ndp history

Leadership is now collective?

Like Kremlin After Stalin mati

As usual ndp is about the army

Their annual glory built upon our Nsmen misery

Students bring along ten year series

2 hour of military regime compulsive on national tv

No thanks to information ministry our media will never be free

Beneath their veneer of invincibility

Pap has alot of worries

Fresh from economic crisis

Zero job security for those reach 40

Youngsters has online connectivity

Partly explains the need for political yog

Singapore is not communist

No longer a British colony

Yet it seems it is a bit of everything

My dream is that Singapore has no more GRC

To build a democratic society

Based on justice and equality

SG is forever above any political party

i am not sure, have to ask his wife, she know best whether he still got power or not.

You think it's true?

I like the NDP section where they highlighted Singaporeans telling people what are their aspirations.

I almost expected someone to come out and say "I aspire to be cheaper, better and faster"
