There are times when I expose the negative deeds and ways of
PAP, people just tell me off. These people deserve to
be suck dry by the evil PAP.
PAP regime need this type of naive and gullible people to
support and vote for them.
If all like you and me, PAP regime can't even last 10 seconds in
power.
And I don't think the oppostion can run the country better than the
PAP either. A sad state for the politics of singapore.
While we need a stronger opposition, we need a opposition that
can do a better job than the ruling party.
How do you think the KMT was relected into power? It is because
the KMT can convince people that they can manage the country better
than the DPP.
Can a opposition party in singapore do that? I don't think so.
Those guliable people in singapore are sensible in a sense that
bread and butter issue like the economy needs to be the first issue
to tackle.
There is no closer links between the government and people other
than economy. Economy is the basic principle of being able to
manage a country well. A democratic country is USELESS if the
people can't feed or afford a good standard of living.
Look at africa, a few of them are a democratic country, yet it
is hardly a safe or nice country for most people to live in.
There is a clear line between a greater opposition voice, and
having the oppositon being able to led the country.
If people is like some of the members here, thinking that
econmical woes are not that important as compared to a more free or
liberal singapore, then singapore is in a worst state.
Taiwan has told us that we should not elect a oppostion into
power for the sake of democracy, it told us that what is needed is
a opposition that can threaten the ruling party control, and force
them to do and perform better.
We NEED a opposition that can do a better job than the PAP.
Democracy works if the ruling party can perform well enough,
improve people's standard of living. Hence singapore is still
enjoying the benefit of democracy.
But that alone isn't enough, it needs a opposition to
threaten the ruling power's position so that the ruling party
will need to know what is in the interest of singaporeans. Hence
the opposition needs to understand it NEEDS to do a better job than
the PAP.
While PAP needs to know that a democratic country requires more
opposition to work, the opposition needs to know that they need to
run a country better than the previous ruling party. If they cannot
do so, they are letting the people down.
BOTH the PAP and the opposition party in singapore have yet to
meet the basic principle of democracy.
Perhaps when a opposition finally prove that they can be better
than PAP in managing of singapore's economy, then that will be the
day when singapore experience true democracy.
And some people are not even democratic at all in taiwan. There
is one DPP politician who said that people who voted for the KMT
isn't taiwanese, and she is abandoning taiwan.
Another pan green celeb said that those overseas taiwanese who
come back and vote isn't human.
How is that democratic at all?
Singaporeans who are pro-opposition, STOP looking at the surface
of the world's politics. Just because some other country is more
democratic than singapore does NOT mean they are a perfect example
to follow.
The same as the US, the US is perfectly willingly to side with
saddam as long he is pro-US, when he isn't, the US will try and
spread democracy and depose him.
Nevermind if Iraq is worse off under occupation because
spreading democracy is SOOOO right. Even the US has lots of
politics that is just as dirty as the singapore politics.
