It's very common for people to trust himself/herself
more than other people isn't it? I guess LKY
trusts himself more than he thinks he can trust the opposition? But
only he himself knows whether he himself can be trusted or not. Any
single one of us can guess or deduce as to who is more trustworthy,
LKY or opposition. But no one can be absolutely certain, unless
we're worms in their brain.
Hence, PAP and the oppositions can do/say whatever is needed to
grab votes, and we can choose whoever we think is more trustworthy.
In the future then we will know whether we made the right choice or
not. It's how this world works isn't it? We can be confident we
know something about someone or something, but we can never be sure
until the very last moment.. *sigh*
If you do not trust yourself then something must be wrong with your
ability in valuing your own self-worth - you are in serious
trouble, if you continue to have such self-doubt which has led to
suicidal tendencies.
It is obvious that LKY only trust himself and his own more then
anyone.
If you cannot discern the acts of someone from your own personal
observation and judgment, and allow your judgment to be
influenced by regurgitated evaluation that is purposefully
developed to distort information - then you are the only one
to be responsible for the continued slide of Singapore.
Seriously, what is said by LKY in public is only meant for
public consumption - what is not known are the information that is
marked 'TOP SECRET' and only known to the inner circle of the
Ruling Party.
Even those who claim "inside information'" and to be "better
informed" - does so out of sheer vanity in hawking some imaginary
self-worth with questionable snob-value.
The “PAP
Organisation”. work on a multi-tiered membership
in which the Cadre is differentiated from the ordinary membership,
as the cadre members are allowed to attend party conferences, to
vote for and elect and to be elected to the Central Executive
Committee {CEC}.
The outgoing members of the CEC can nominate eight candidates,
and the party caucus will select the remaining ten candidates to be
elected into the CEC.
The third tier is the HQ Executive Committee, which performs
party's administration and oversee twelve sub-committees.
As matters stand, the PAP is runned like the Communist Party of
China and Soviet Russia - as it has its own roots from its early
association with socialism, morphing into Democratic-Socialism,
and subsequently swinging towards Conservative Right Wing
Politics our of political convenience.
Will Singapore be ruined in 5 years if in the hands of the
Opposition Parties ?
As matters stand, the retired Senior Civil Servant Ngiam Tong
Dow is already warning of the present Government running on
auto-pilot, with its sheer dominance of the political scene, and
monopolising the intakes of scholars that leaves none for the other
sectors of Singapore's "private sectors".
It is interesting to note the observation of the retired Senior
Civil Servant's subdued opinion only in the areas of economic
references, and one will have to read between the lines in the
various euphimistic terms that he has used in order not to
over-reach himself by stepping on some very sensitive feelings.
Even without the help of the Opposition Parties, this Ruling
Party will ruin Singapore in 5 years - at the rate that it is
depleting the Rerserves in its unchecked overseas financial
escapades that has seen the values of its investments falling
- from negative 40% to zero values - when more discerning and
experienced investors will not even consider risking their own hard
earned fortunes on such investments..
Why will MM LKY introduce such an alarmist tone to a foreign
press, when he will claim CSJ's effort in sounding similar alarms
to be harming foreign confidence in Singapore ?
Has it not been the same said by Kuomintang before Chen Shui
Bian was elected into a two term presidency that saw him
manipulated by Lee Teng-hui to concentrate more on Taiwan's
independence ?
Yet, Taiwan survived the turbulent two terms of Chen Shui Bian's
presidency, and saw the democratic process strengthened with the
return of the Kuomintang under a new leadership.
Can 55 years of Singapore history in progressive
development be so fragile that it cannot withstand the
turbulence of 5 years under Opposition Rule ?
If one is to read between the lines, it is MM LKY's warning in
Third World Language that he will make life difficult for
Singaporeans - if an Opposition Party is elected to form a
Government.
He can easily do so as the Chairman of the GIC, and his own
family members controlling the various GLCs by either having his
own appointees heading the GLC or being on the Board.
As matters stand, legislations have been passed to prevent the
dismissal of any of his appointees in the Judiciary, the
Police Force, the SAF, and various Government Statutory Boards and
Civil Services.
He has already laid the foundation for chaos and ungovernable
scenario for any Opposition Political Parties to govern effectively
- as even a new formed Government has no budget to implement its
election promises since the present legislation
passed will make the Reserves out of reach by the
New Government. and with the legislation requiring the New
Government to obtain its own Budget Surplus to implement its own
program.
The new legislation will allow funds to keep the Government
functioning on ongoing programs from past surplus..
This will be the new political legacy that LKY
has created to fix Singaporeans with the burden of chaos if it
seeks to elect the Opposition to form the new Government.
The chaos is not the result of the Opposition being incapable,
but from the institutions and legislations that MM LKY has laid out
at present to create chaos for Singapore.
