While Politics in Malaysia is still driven by the persistent
insistence of the dominance of one inferior race to be the superior
one, its inability to develop the country has allowed the other
"superior" races to excel in an environment that demand the
standards to be set to the levels of the least capable.
Second Class Citizens in Malaysia ?
If such a treatment is ever part of any official public
policy, such a situation can be challenged by
the citizens taking some very publicly pro-active
political actions.
Can the same happen in Singapore, where citizens have no
political rights ?
The PAP has made Singapore an efficient, safe, stable, and
clean environment for the building of businesses, careers, and
raising of family.
Beyond these physically superficial appearances - why do
Singaporeans generally feel that they have no control, nor
influence over their own future ?
Singaporeans are made to be dependent to the PAP's
continued political control of Singapore, and any deviation to
the present status quo that had existed for the last 52 years will
lead to Singapore's deterioration.
Somehow this "Paradise in Singapore" is made purposefully
fragile, and despite all the sense of stability, safety, security,
and calm - Singaporeans are continuously reminded that this
veneer of appearance is simply "paper thin".
Singaporeans are reminded constantly that despite all the aura
of modernity and progress, this is but "Works' in
Progress" - ongoing since 1957 - and require the PAP to
continue at the helm perpetually.
Is the Singapore model more superior or more advanced than
the Malaysian model ?
While discrimination exist in the form of racial
politics that is manipulated to gain political
advantage, a different kind of discrimination exist in
Singapore - and takes the form of social stratification.
The Singapore discrimination cuts across racial divide and
is practiced as an art by the PAP in its
cleverly disguised practise of "social elitism" or
"meritocracy".
Those belonging to the PAP - its CEC and its privilege
Cadre membership - are the privileged few in Singapore, with access
to political and commercial positions, while Singaporeans
are treated as no more then the Second Class Citizens, treated as
mere cogs in the economic wheels contributing to the PAP
Government Treasury.
Do Singaporeans have any political voice, when the PAP has
disenfranchised all political rights that were protected in the
Singapore Constitution ?
Without political rights, does the Singapore Citizen have
any political control over our own future, and to be
subjected to continuous political manipulation ?
Are Singaporeans not treated as prisoners of our own
"success" within the golden cage created by the PAP ?
