the tug of war between different sections of sgforums members
seems never ending. However, i feel that PAP party would continue to
win Singaporeans' votes because in Singapore, we remain a proud
people and PAP has become a traditional / political
methodology to arm Singaporeans with this pride.
Hence, LHL would win more than 70% votes in the next
elections.
I have seen different types of Singaporeans. There are
indeed a good number of them who will take advantage of any liberty
given to them such as those who stormed their own international
airport in Bangkok. A good number of them who are utterly
self interest and would "sell" their country without conscience. A
good number of them who will not give way to you on the highway.
Whether we like it or not, PAP scholars and ministers are a
better choice.
Should we find your views to be contradictory when you
state that Singaporeans remain a proud people - with
70% votes given to LHL - but at the same time, you will
believe that a good number of Singaporeans will be take
advantage of any liberty given to PROUD Singaporeans ?
Why will the PROUD Singaporeans who voted for LHL
behave utterly in self-interest, and "sell" their country without
conscience ?
Should we be surprised that your PROUD Singaporeans are too
proud to give way to you on the highway ?
For those with myopic vision and uninspired mind, the PAP
scholars and ministers are obviously better choice in
Government despite their consumate abilities to make
immature, reckless and irrational remarks that include:-
"Unlike the USA where funds can be released to boost
consumer spending to jump start the economy from a recession,
Singapore is too small and the economy too open and such a policy
will result in the outflow of money to other countries" -
spoken by PAP Scholar LHL.
He must have forgotten that the USA is the biggest
market for the World, and the US consumers are the
world biggest user of all consumer products and
services from China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea,
Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and all the other emerging
economies.
"With the evening ERP in place, less traffic jams will
result in higher turnover of business in Chinatown" -
Communications Minister RL.
Was it not a fact that the ERP had to be modified as business
was so badly affected that some had to close ?
"Removing petrol tax is a subsidy to Singaporeans" -
Minister MBT.
Singapore is the only place in the planet that tax removal
becomes a subsidy.
"You marry a non-graduate, then you are going to worry if
your son or daughter is going to make it to the university." -
MM LKY
Is he embarrassed of his own roots - a salesman for a
father, and a housewife for a mother ? Perhaps his creation
was from a laboratory dish ? Have we not heard and read enough of
LKY’s eugenics in Singapore ?
"Spend more money or Singapore will go into a
recession" - SM GCT
Without Singaporean spending more, will there be enough GST
collections to buy him the quality peanuts that he and his wife
need ?
"Singaporeans are being complacent when they believe that
the Government will take care of all security matters" - MM
LKY on MSK escape, 5 April 2005, ST
Despite collecting the million dollar annual wage
package PLUS his pension - all paid for by Singaporean Tax Payers,
are Singaporeans not entitled to such a belief ?
"First, the CPI measures average changes in prices across
all households. Whether there is an increase in the Cost of Living
for a particular household depends on that household's spending
patterns. Switching to cheaper products can reduce the Cost of
Living despite a rise in CPI" - LHK, 14 Nov 2007, ST
Can cheaper products exist when the CPI indicate increase
across the board ?
With products costs dependent on the primary factors of business
such as rent, utilities, fuel, transportation, taxes - do cheap
products exist in a situation where the CPI indicate increases
?
"It is not the Government's responsibility to look for
jobs for Singaporeans" - PM LHL, November 2005, ST
"If more Opposition get elected into Parliament, I will have
to spend more time to fix them" - PM LHL, Singapore Election
2006.
