Confronting the PAP

Sardaukar-Prime SG

I think I'm quite tired of all this talk about voting in the opposition and seeking political space when they are not willing to give any.This is a nation where if you question the credibility of Lee Kuan Yew,its viewed as something he can profit from via lawsuit.He's overstayed his time in office.

To quote Harvey Dent(or is it Bruce Wayne?); "You either live long enough to see yourself become a villain or die a hero."

At this point in time Lee Kuan Yew wields close to absolute power.He wields enormous influence in the political and economic spheres by virtue of his wealth as well as enormous control of the media,via political machinery of the PAP.

He is an elder statesmen,formerly respected by many, that has overstayed his time.

The PAP senior cadres and associated supporters are able to generate enough public noise that they can drown out the voices of the opposition in public.The police are not inclined to grant licenses for the opposition to hold rallies but behave rather differently with the PAP.

So what to do?As far as I can see,you either become a reformist within the PAP,join a political party that actually has the cunning and intellect to wait out the old bastard or quite politics altogether.

The best time to confront the PAP is when LKY finally dies.His legacy will be entrenched in the system but without his strong personality to drive it as much they will be prey.Similarly,a large party like the PAP has enormous discipline but I doubt LHL can hold it together without the influence of his father.

The PAP will splinter,the excesses of the system will be exposed and that is the time to confront the PAP.

Otherwise,next election,the civil service will work some magic, redraw election boundaries and once more we'll be stuck in our self-imposed gilded bird cage.

Hope that old bastard Lee Kuan Yew dies off soon.

The mental suffering can finally come to an end in Singapore.

Everyone will be freed.

Lky is the obstacle.

Beautiful951 SG

But then most agree that LKY is the only person who can guide this country. He is a strong and determined character. I don't know if singapore can survive without him.

Ahlo, other countries survive without LKY. LKY is dispensable.

Why worry? The old man said himself that without him there will be his other members of Pay and Pay, without him Singapore is strong enough to survive. Don't overrate him. Without his manipulation of the law, media, instilling fear, attack/bankrupting the oppositions and so on he will not be able to control and run Singapore.

OH-FF SG

Actually come to think of it, a Country without character or history and culture like Singapore. needs a dictator to put things in the one and only direction.

If the top or head of our country is fickle and cannot make decisions and put the government and people to the test, then we would have easily followed the ways of the political UMNO.

Singapore may be what it is now. Sentosa may be jolly well be some rich Datuk's Golf Club instead of what it is now.

Until that time comes when we reached the point of change , this cultureless people Just follow LAW.

No country need any dictators to run the country, Singapore included. Leaders of the countries should work on the interests of the people and not self serving like LKY and his party.

But Lee Kuan Yew sooner or later will drop dead.

That is inevitable.

I am hoping that it happens quickly.

According to angel's post, singapore may not be able to hold on without him.

Objection, i did not say that, i just said that like it or not, without LKY leadership in the begining till now, we may not be what we are now, in my upperstair aircon room, shake legs, posting and drinking starbuck Frappacino. If he die, which he and all of us one day must die, that is not the issue.

Poh Ah Pak SG

My opinion on Lee Kuan Yew is that he must die now.

Singapore cannot progress as long as he is alive.
