Well, then engage a lawyer with the couple of hundred other people that kena this?

Look, if people aren't willing to band together and do something about this, and adopt the, "It doesn't concern me" or "$10 only suah suah kee" then next time dun kao beh abt the government charging you "$10 for administrative fee" when you pass the gantry.

Want to make noise, then dun wanna take action, wait for others to do it for them. Thats very typically singaporean isn't it?

So now instead of just engaging a lawyer, I will have to

And the returns for all these -> $10

A class action always sets precedence for future cases. Just read the news in international papers regarding how bank charges were reduced/ estoppel after class actions.

It is time for the collective will of the people of Singapore to initiate change.

Some asked, what if the opposition comes into power? Some asked, what if the PAP is weakened and therefore a weaker govt and a weaker external image? Some asked, what if more opposition leads to chao?

My answer is this - the political situation is bad and it will get worse and not better.

How to make it better? In the word of the almight PAP - 'competition'. We need to get more opposing views into parliament. Look at the number of snoring faces during parliament sittings. These snoring MPs made fool of the voters and the contituency which voted them into parliament. One of the main reasons why our political, social and economic climate is so pathetic is that complacency has set in.

We can't have the laughable NMP system where the NMP's job is just talkshop, without a gun pointing to his head for the words he uttered. We need to get back to the basic. We need a political climate where the voters hold the each and every politician accountable for his words and action. And we need lively and real debate with sparring of ideas and germination of solutions in parliament - not snoring.

We need to get more opposing views into parliament.

But Lee Kuan Yew don't like.

How?

redDUST SG

goes without saying, this is a uniquely singapore situation; dictatorship guised in a democracy.

`selective hearing' on opposing views are allowed. so, in many ways, you cannot accuse the government to be insensitive to the people's concern. try out-smart that!

Shotgun SG

Then I say, put your money where your mouth is and vote for opposition parties! Its not impossible, look at the reduced margin PAP won by already.

Poh Ah Pak SG

walkover due to lan jiao GRC system how?

PAP thought of everything.

They not stupid one.
