How should one interprete the following clarion call from MM LKY
?
Lee Kuan Yew warns of army intervention
As last resort, if an opposition government
plunders hard-earned reserves. Possible?
His worry is two-fold; firstly, the rising popularity of
opposition that he said could result in 'freak' defeat for
his ruling People's Action Party (PAP), and secondly,
corrupt opposition leaders squandering the
nation's wealth
To put it into perspective, Lee did not condone a military takeover
but probably mentioned it as a last option if everything else
failed to stop a corrupt government.
Instead he advised Singaporeans to preserve the present political
arrangement, which could also mean - to his critics - 'don't vote
in an opposition' or "don't introduce a multi-party
system."
Has it not been MM LKY's line of
arrogance that Governments formed by an Opposition can only come
about by opening the treasury to Singaporeans ?
Has it not been MM LKY's hollow desparation in branding the
Opposition as corrupt and incapable ?
Yet, without being corrupt, the Opposition Parties had shown that
their candidates can reduce the margins of good votes to PM LHL at
only 63 percent - which was despite the corrupt use of upgrading
enticements.
Before the Opposition Parties can come to power, has anyone
appreciated the fact that the Ruling Party has already placed their
greedy fingers on the authoritative seals of power, to change the
Constitution so as to bypass the Elected President, and allow
themselves access to the multi-billion medisave accounts ?

And may I mention that a Constitutional Amendment was made in
January 2005 allowing for the transfer of funds from our past
reserves for the GLCs and statutory boards through GIC? This allows
them to transfer these funds without a public referendum nor
parliamentary approval each time, only Presidential approval in
times where the funds are required to be classified as past
reserves in those corporations.
Power to authorise expenditure on account, etc., or for unspecified
purposes.
I wonder how many Singaporeans know or even feel concerned that
such an amendment was made without a single voice of concern from
the public. This is what happens when you have entrenched political
majority over time.
