the PAP government

unclebutcher SG

a significant number of people here are opposed to or are simply anti PAP. what i don't understand is, Singapore is where we are today because of the PAP government, from the 1960s to present. note i am NOT a PAP supporter. i cant vote. im a minor. i disagree with some of their policies, e.g. 7 % GST hike.

but what we should keep in mind is that, for all its shortcomings and stifling of freedom(press or otherwise), we should appreciate the PAP.

snow leopard SG

what most people don't realise is that all these years, they've been made to believe that where singapore is today is entirely due to the PAP.

this is an untruth that you should think about.

if we were still under the british, we would have been like hong kong and progressed just the same.

To TS:

this is nonsense. It doesnt mean that they did something right in the past means that they will be right in the present or in the future.

Look at the situation now (NOT before) and vote wisely.

laurence82 SG

so?

past performance is not an indicator of future ones

we can appreciate them, but that should never be the only thing, neither should it inhibit our quest for progress in the society

note i did not say anything to the effect that what is bolded in this forumnite's post.

my intention for this thread is to ask fellow forumnites to think about what the PAP has done for us in the past. i am not saying that they will always be an infallible party. i'm just saying that this is the party that has brought Singapore thus far; at least accord them some respect.[/b]

Respect is a thing of the past......

Now, they are in decay, how do we still continue to respect?

You may want to look beyond the surface when you look at Singapore, the present govt and the building of Singapore. Of course, we are thankful for what the present govt did in the past to bring Singapore this far. Bear in mind, the building of Singapore is not by the present govt alone, it is together with the people of Singapore. So sorry to say that we are made believe to think that PAP or MM Lee built Singapore alone. Nobody can cope with such great project like building a country alone.

We cant keep basing on the past history/past results of the present govt to look at them. You know it is like, you cant base on your employees last year excellent performance to keep rewarding him when his present performance is bad. If you do, you are encouraging bad performance. Likewise, we take stock of what the govt did and is doing as leaders of/to our nation.

It will be good if you can gather more facts and reality before talking on this.

You said you are a minor, hence I take it that you are a young person.

For all that you have said, I used to think like you when I was much younger...

Therefore, I say; give yourself another 10 years of more, and you will likely have a very different opinion....

eagle SG

This is a sentence well said!
Sadly, this is the point the PAP tries to drive across every election: "look at our portfolio blah blah blah"

ShutterBug SG

I would like PAP to know, portfolios are as useless as when older locals tries to seek employment in Singapore...

They keep telling people to keep upgrading and updating their Skill Sets - well, PAP, you all should also do the same...

As much as older workers' experiences, achievements, and or skill sets are obsolete in the eyes of the Local Employment Market, so are YOURS!!!

Please Walk your Talks....!!!

crazy monkey SG

Rock^Star SG

Haven't you seen I am already contributing? Sure beats signing up as P-member, then making tomfoolery and senseless jibes.

Low level intelligence befitting that of a monkey.

crazy monkey SG

still under the british ? and be second-class citizens ?

<Precious> SG

Ts cannot be more correct. Yes, the PAP has boo-booed on quite a few things. But it has also got even more things right..... so surely they still deserve some credit.... Surprised Question

You called robertteh "illogical" in the thread below.

I asked you to prove but I figure you have chickened out. If not, kindly answer me.

Haven't you seen my threads before? It sure beats paying $10 per year to sign up as a P-member and talking jibberish.....a million zillion times.

As a matter of fact, you don't know where to start.

Stick to Original Babe Forums and keep up the good work there. Continue your search for more hot chicks.

Meanwhile, stay off Speaker's Corner or you shall get a roasting if you are not careful.
