Honestly speaking, I fully agree that SDP committed political suicide thanks to CSJ. His antics don't help to give opposition parties here any credit. His de...

I think if Singapore was still under the British rule, our lives might be much more better than now.At least the British practice true democracy compare to what the PAP are practicing now.
At least the British protect the court from misbehaving.
Our judge only listen to what the PAP says.
May God Save Singapore from the Leegime!

I prefer Independent nation than be ruled by Britain.

There wont be equalities between Singaporeans Asians and Britons if Britain is to rule Singapore. Democracy?

Pion SG

They have given us everything yet nothing.

not sure whether we will be better off if we are under british.
i definitely dont wish to be second class citizens and live under Ang Mo rule.

on the otherhand, look at HK, arent they equally well under british rule which set a good foundation for true democracy.
any regime who believe in autoractic rule will not only one day come an end but will pull the country down as well.

any democratic country will be able to revive again fast and strong.

1.Ha ha!U workship UK empire so blindly!
God damn it.British empire built just not more than 30,000

PAP built some 20,000 in less than 3 years.

2.u can say empty opinions.But when come to facts.

My stranger friend told me, its not about getting rid of them. Thats virtually impossible.

He said he thinks its necessary to have a strong integrity opposition have more say and power in parli to help the 2nd majority more than they have been able to do so due to their constraints . He considers Low and Sylvia and Chiam very super decent and credible and capable Opps that singapore has the good fortune to have them. Thus, he thinks that he feels safe to allow them to play a bigger role. These good people are hard to come by. Dun believe? Ask around who dares do what they doing? Who ? How many? Talk is easy, do like them is tougher than anything. Just think waht it takes to be left standing tall like JBJ. Not many even dare to voice out , in the name of the People. In fact, other than these, I should say NO ONE else.

He said, the PAP can target 1 group to help and Opposition can target another group to help. Thus Balanced system. Everyone gets the flavor of their choice. Smile

So, he thinks in a wholistic way and for the good of the whole nation , not just for those who support them.
Afterall , singapore belongs to and is built by all who have 'gong lao' and also 'ku lao'.

We must also not forget to embrace the 2nd Majority. To do so, he thinks, giving a few more seats to Opps is the only way forward. By the way, he claims that he always votes for the not-black.

I replied my stranger friend, I no no . I always anything also no no wan. whatever they say, I do. Tell me to jump, I ask how high? Tell me to sit I say where?

Highly politically motivated post.

What is your definition of a "True Democracy?" I admit, Singapore is a limited democracy. Perhaps you can define this "True democracy" you are advocating?

Only we can help ourselves

Talking about British rule, you remind me of my aunt who favours the British rule. She said they were better taken care of under the British.

What did/does PAP give us? Hello, they take away from us, especially our money. Covetous PAP loves to take our money.

robertteh SG

This is precisely why we need true democracy so that there will be no self-centredness, no power play, no hypocrisy to keep those who are in power to perpetuate themselves and protect their own interests as we have witnessed.

Only true democracy will ensure equal opportunities for all citizens according to their talents and abilities and not allow a few to conspire to seize control of political power for their own benefits.

Only true democracy institutionalized in accountable processes will offer the ordinary citizens the progress and prosperity who have worked hard all their lives like Singaporeans have.

Only true democracy prepared to enshrine justice, equality and equity within the institutions subject to rule of fair play, accountability and transparency which independent judiciary will protect zealously and without compromise.

Without true democracy the present leadership could not sustain the collective endeavors for long-term peace and progress and prosperity for all.

Don't forget that it was LKY that lead Singapore's modernization. Not an easy task given our lack of resources and instability after our independence.

But of course, the present is a separate issue altogether. I think every Singaporean screams for more welfare without realizing the tax levels of welfare states. The CPF is a rather smart way of ensuring we pay for our own welfare without raising tax levels. CPF is not a tax cos eventually, you still get your money back. The annuity is supposed to ensure that you don't have to go to the streets to collect cardboard boxes when you get old.

My only complaint is that they've not given us a voice to speak up against what we feel unhappy about. More freedom of speech and expression would be nice. Being able to organize peaceful protests over policies would be great. Not prosecuting people who criticise the government would be wondeful.

Singapore will be underdeveloped.
Without a military force.
And will be handed back to Malaysia,
after a few bombs go off.

cloud210 SG

you rather choose political freedom than our current economic stability and success?

why be 2nd class citizens to the ang mos? if u wan to be 2nd class citizens den might as well say we dun leave malaysia and look at their JB now. JB could be us if we continue to be malaysia.

While LKY and PAP has overpowered themselves, at least we do not need to go rob to put food on the table, rape to satisfy our sexual needs and constant roof over our heads.

Promises?

I believe they were more Bullcraps than anything else worth banking on...

Gahmen dont support sports in Singapore.

They had given us most things and taken away some.

There are no perfect person so as government. If those of you who is happy to have the british back, that will not be possible. Then the next best thing to do is to migrate. Migrate to a white country and see how you will be treated by them.
