Workers' Party CEC member voted for PAP in 2006 Election

Poh Ah Pak SG

Go ahead, Poh, but bewarned, there will be many whom are like me, and will not stand idle and watch these 30% to be used and abuse by the likes of you to satisfy your personal egos, satisfactions and desires.

I feel sad that some have been mislead by PAP propaganda.

Dogs may bark, but the caravan moves on.

There is no other way.

the thing about true freedom of choice and democracy is that people are allowed to vote whichever the hell way they want to vote..

if i decide that the MIW idiot is useless, and that the opposition is worthless, i may choose to spoil my vote - it is my right

if i decide that the MIW fella is sincere, and that the opposition is a conman and charlatan, i may choose to vote for the MIW - it is my right

if i decide that the MIW is a bum and i cannot trust him, and that the opposition is sincere and will work for the people, i may choose to vote for the opposition - it is my right

for you people who condemn those who exercise their rights, you are no better than tinpot fascist wannabes.. and think about it.. if the country was to be placed in hands like yours, we would probably see death squads to rub out people who disagree with you...

now.. think about that.. think about what democracy and freedom of choice truly means..

and then RESPECT THE DECISION OF THE MAN who dared to choose with his conscience, his logic and his heart.. instead of some nonsensical brainless "anti-MIW" kneejerk actions which a lot in SC seem to be unable to get out of...

your counter is logical, but it is really the election preamble that is called into question. credible opposition clamped even before they can campaign, iron-clad media control that only pushes the government agenda and election manifesto and arguably `illegal' sweeteners put forth to sway the apolitical/elderly electorates are areas that are questionable.

had the government be more `open' to allow credible opposition to challenge the MIW in a more `level' playing field, the end state is that the country as a whole `move forward'. surely the MIW do not have ALL the answers. if the MIW touts itself as having the best candidates possible, why worry? as you rightly put it, the electorate is smart enough to make the right choice.

by its iron-fisted control of every conceivable lever to maintain total power, the MIW has instead done singapore a disfavor.

What are the instances that the opposition were 'clamped' down?

What are the instances of 'iron-clad' media control' you so claimed?

What 'sweeteners' are you insinuating?

The opposition had all the time in the world to prepare the ground. Media organisations espacially mainstream ones have a responsibility to report only on newsworthy items, which i sadly found none at opposition rallies.

Were opposition candidates denied opportunities to stage rallies, even if some of them are 'johnny-come-lately' types?

Fairness aside, should the ruling party, whom had worked immensely hard for years to create this country we lived, lend a hand to the opposition, who had done nothing but to cast aspersion and whom seek to topple them?

Politics is not for the faint hearted. Winning the election is but only the stepping stone to the world's stage, where the arena is more merciless. If opposition can't handle the election and scream for fairness, then our country will be worse off when they are elected and have to face the multi-polar world.

Please be more objective in your opinions and state the facts.

if you deny and could not even see the obvious, it then makes no sense for me to point those out to you. your eyes are bottle-capped already.

nobody is asking the ruling government to hand the power to the opposition on a platter. for you to suggest that is incredibly naive.

for a nation of 40 over years and still cannot trust the people to make the right judgement in choosing their leaders, singapore is heading towards a `political maturity vacuum' that will come to haunt it in time to come, some suggest sooner than later.

and the MIW work immensely hard for what? wealth hoarding within the inner circle or a fair share for every citizen?

your desription of the political process in singapore is akin to saying that because i am the defending champion of the 100m race, i am entitled to the best spikes and you, a challenger, can only wear rubber shoes.

if the PAP fears the opposition more than its own belief and capability of winning a (fair) fight, doesn't that tell you something about the quality of the PAP men?

Your meaning of objective is to agree with your views???

So if someone agrees with you, he is being objective???

redDUST SG

please just list 2 or 3 instances where `the arena is more merciless on the world stage'? what is it that Mah Bow Tan can do at the world stage that a similar man of reasonable intelligence of his calibre cannot? isn't it just the authority and power entrusted to him that enable him to perform those duties? and with experience and wisdom, that's where he gets better (& i am not referring to MBT)

i can sensed that you are well indoctrinated, playing by `instilling fear' and `casting doubts'. and little else.
