There is no perfect government in this world and I think the current model of governance may work better than full democracy. Full democracy make decision tat is only good the the short run. They will not make policies that is painful in the short run but good in the long run. Full democracy encourage using up as much money as possible to improve on its popularity. Democracy can only work when the country reaches a certain level of standard of living, education and maturity.

Not that the singapore governance is without flaws, but democracy is not ideal as well. Rolling Eyes Considering the tough problems singapore faces such as size, neighbours, lack of resources and mixture of population, I give the grading of the government as an A, though not an A star.

Yeah! PM is PM over all Singapore, not just his party. Citizens are citizens of Singapore, not just party members. Singapore is greater than her parties.

Pls ask your teacher why the domestic debt of Singapore was 100.6%GDP for year 2006.

Without debt, you wouldn't have a debt securities market. One of the reasons why.

The government is good because it has developed a nation of zombies… something that other communist countries has yet to do.

What I think....

With a strong(tight) government control/rule, economy will prosper and people will become more competitive. With that, can say that most of the people will be interested in their bread and butter issue than rather involving themselves in politics as they see it the country is being peaceful and the government is governing the state well.

With more freedom, the government may be shaky as people may lose their confidence in them, economy will not benefit (the same scenario happening in Taiwan) people may lose their appetite in politics and hoped for a stable government with good living conditions.

With that,

There will be both good and bad points with any system Singapore is under on. So for now it depend on which system is more beneficial.

Whatever things that are given to us, we may not treasure it properly on most occasions and may end up abusing it.

Singaporeans must be held responsible for the way singapore is , will be and was.

I regard a government highly, but second to the People, in terms of influencing the direction a nation takes. Democracy to me has to give some form of freedom of speech and expressing different views, because NOT EVERYONE is a ROBOT , think and act the same, nor prefer the same. We should respect individuals intelligence. Individuals' views and let them be heard. This , to me, is fundamental to making the nation more tolerant of diverse views. Tolerant does not mean accepting the views. Not accepting views does not mean restricting views. Being magnanimous means allowing views to be heard without fear. Fear destroys many things like creativity, innovation and new ideas.

Since to me singaporeans collectively are responsible for singapore situation, I feel like saying the MAJORITY, specifically, are the ones responsible for the singapore situation. They enabled the reality.
