Y do ppl hate our government??

bizzkit0102 SG

Because our Prime Minister is a hypocrite and has no class. Just look at his condolence letter to JBJ's family. And, he does not have the gait and poise of a proper leader. I personally believe that within PAP even, not many respect him.

freedom4ever SG

i think this is very true. if lao lee not around anymore, he might be in trouble running the country.

P.S. i wonder how many singaporeans know about the slapping incident.

Go Speakers Corner.

I am convinced no one dares to voice up.

Lets not protest at all.

Lets just let Activist groups like Online Citizen do the talking.

The benefit of this is that the Opposition's role could be diminished.

Rationale :

1. Already , based on solid-gold Historical Evidence of the last 43 years, Opposition has weak presence and it can really not do much compared to the ruling party (and you can justify with A-Z reasons but wont change the facts). Does this not prove that :

A. The Majority does not want them or feel there is a need for them?

B. The Majority given all the numerous Opportunities, Chances, choose not to vote the Opposition time and time x 43 times again.

2. Activist groups are free to voice up and as long as they do so with care and use facts, they should be able to do more voicing up for the people than can the Opposition. I like to use evidence of the recent Hong Lim park activities to justify what I say. The anger, frustration and steam of the people can be reduced drastically with Activist groups. As long as Activists continue to show they are more EFFECTIVE than Opposition in addressing people's concerns, I am fully convinced in time, maybe the next election, the opposition may be shocked to find that their 33.3% becomes much less if not near zero. It is Opposition's responsibility and parsar to win the People's votes and they should not keep using excuses (valid or not) to complain why they unable to voice up more or win more votes or cannot do this and that. As we admit, no one owes us a living. So, to work as opposition, they must overcome any and all obstacles. Else, they can only blame themselves for unable to overcome the obstacles whatever that may be. The People will not just vote for you when you cannot prove yourselves.

3. Activists can do many things Opposition can do. Eg. They can talk to ministers and MPs and anyone. they can sign petitions and ask for repeal of laws. They can ask for conservation of nature, buildings or anything. they can effect changes. they may not get it, just like Opposition may not get things approved also.

4. PRAGMATISM Personified : Unlike any other country citizens, sporeans are super unique. Only they themselves know why. I am sure many are still oblivious and do not even understand themselves in terms of what kind of democratic citizen they are compared to all the rest of the world. Sporeans do not speak up for one another. How to characterise how they value Justice and Righteousness?

I used to want to support opposition. I lost all hope and realise that things are much more complicated than meets the eyes and complex.

All I see is this trend of Activist groups slowly taking over the role of the Opposition by being the Effective Force that voices up for the People.

If my prophesy comes true in the next election, I foresee the Ruling party dominance to extend to 100% by winning back the 2 or 3 seats AND at the same time more and more ACTIVISTS become established. To some ruling party supporters they may be happy as it means all and any policies will be passed without opposition.

I also foresee those opposition supporters who possess world market value and demand to resort to giving up their citizenship voluntarily.

Hate is such a strong word.

I don't hate our government.

I just abhor PAP.

Ajen SG

Oppositions are Capable..

But the bloody PAP don't give them a single chance to SHOW their ABILITY.

If Opposition wanna show their ability,

So how?

No ruling party will give opponents a chance. Opposition needs to fight for it.

If Opposition is unable to, it simply means they unable to.

There is seriously not much they can do.

oil price has dropped - Malaysia has cut its oil price 6 % or so.

meanwhile we have heard YOUR Electricity bills will hike by 22 %.

meanwhile Transport operators have already hiked fares.

Guess what reason they used?

that said, I still think we should all keep absolutely quiet as 1st world citizens of the educated kind. Why I say this? Since I watched BlogTV last night, somehow my mind has changed.....accept....HIKEs....part of ....life......

Best entertainers in BlogTV includes: that CEO , FD, and our very handsome Metro-Sexual dude.

Singaporeans should not utter a word about hikes now and in the future, whatever has been lined up. You think no more right?

I call for the bombastic leaders salaries to be hikes by 22 % as well during year end in addition to their bombastic bonuses.

I call for all to avoid protesting. We should remain status quo - no protest till eternity. Must slog to support the rich get richer and let the poor get poorer if they want to. You break your rice bowl, that is YOUR problem.

Listen to the MSM news everyday .

Read the MSM news everyday. Buy it at 80cents, no 90cents, a pop.

Watch the MSM news by Melissa and Melvin everyday.

Repeat what is said during your sleep.

When you wake up, I think you may or may not feel good.

I am lucky, I feel good every morning.

I think incompetent sporeans should gentlemanly give their jobs to foreigners.

I think sporeans should embrace our new immigrants and FTs and their family tree that comes along.

I think sporeans should not question about TRANSPARENCY or lack of it.

I think sporeans should continue to throw money into the stock market else who is gonna earn from stocks or how to save rich people stuck money in stocks?

I think sporeans should spend and spend, Pay And Pay, work and work and trust our leaders.

I think Protest is wrong.

I think voicing up for others is not required as we are pragmatic people - Where got time? People lose their rice bowl, that is THEIR problem.

I think people especially the young should stop thinking of Opposition. Erase this word from your dictionary.

I hope the people can consider skipping the election as in let the ruling continue for eternity but we remain on paper as democracy and have election once every few blue moons. Reason : save tax payer money.

I hope Activists can replace some if not all of the needs for Opposition who , ask yourselves, have done what ..... ?

I no no.

How to migrate har? erm....i mean I like to understand the process. My fren ask me.

;)

wow Haha nice one but still alot more?

The Majority did voted once! It was heard that Certain important GRC was Supposingly lost to opposition. Something happened that day, that was wat JBJ and tang hong liang was sued for and later Tang ran fearing his future. I cant remember which artical was it but its in google and youtude too.

singaporean are all kiasu, now they condem the goverment, but come election day the P4P goverment still win the election.

USA? Britain? Japan? it is only countries that have dishonorable idiots running, Myannmar, China, North Korea, that kills off opposition and then enrich themselves with public money, and put their cronies, relatives in power.

If you cannot do anything about it, you can still curse the despots, their relatives, their families, their grandchildren and descendants, and lets see whether or not they get cancer and die a lingering suffering death so as to reflect on their own dishonorable greedy for public money behavior.

AndrewPKYap SG

...and if you support dishonorable greedy for public money despots, be careful for your own family, relatives, grandchildren and descendants....

I don't know about the slapping incident leh. Can share?

Sg government is the best.

With their milion dollar annual salaries, they have led Singapore to first place.

First asian country to hit a technical recession.

That hits the nail. They sell so much propaganda about how they are the best and they deserve the massive amounts of public money they take, their relatives, sons, daughter-in-laws are the best and having an opposition is bad, that is what they tell you in their propaganda....

So how come Singapore is number one Asian nation in a recession? So how come Temasek and GIC is apparently losing one hundred billion dollars? So how come the Singapore dollar cannot rise?

.... when the despots attack Dr Chee Soon Juan, do not turn a blind eye to the victimization, do not say, let them attack "them" as long as they do not come after "me". When they attack Dr Chee Soon Juan, they are attacking every Singaporean.

angel7030 SG

You are wrong. We might curse them for losing all that money bailing foreign banks, but actually we love them.

We might not agree with them that they should raise electricity bill by 21% at a time of recession and curse their descendants but we understand why they must do it.

We might curse them to have have a difficult and suffering death, unlike JBJ that died quickly and peacefully, but actually we are their friends.

We might curse their children and grandchildren for persecuting dissidents and oppositions and generally persecuting people that criticize them, but in reality we understand perfectly, like you, why they must act so dishonorably to cling on to power.

Yup! You are wrong to say we hate them, just because we curse them to the third generation does not mean that we hate them, just because we hope that they get their retribution in the form of cancer, does not mean that we despise them, we love you PAP!

(This post is an example of the kind of logic that says "Increase in GST is to help the poor; foreigners flooding the country to lower your wages is for your own good; allowing prostitutes to go online and extend their one month stay automatically is the moral thing to do.")

There is no need to enlighten you, in spite of our curses, we are on the same side as you.

Who?? oh the government is it?? sure i hate them, looks at what they did to my Uncles here..govt make them crazy and in the end i hv to take care of them...Uncle, medication time!!

With all due respects to you, for your posting efforts, we just need to QUESTION

the REALity of Opposition, in more ways than 1 , more than meets the eyes.

To understand more about this reality, I have attended in some Hong Lim activities.

I look at the forums.

I looked at the passing of pillars.

Its clear who is going next....to...never never land.

I looked at the kind of response from Opposition.

Its clear.

and cursing people will not win you votes.

Hope no one is giving people a bad impression of people who are against....

Chi 's storys have been effective and right timing (coincidence lah ;) )

Its now clear.

The most unique democratic situation in the world.
