So? Majority rule means you still hold the legislature.
Municipal housing is a programme by national authorities, which
should NEVER be seen as one with the political authority of the
governing party.
Decision-making power has to be given to HDB and MND as their roles
as State Agencies, not extensions of political platforms.If the
people in charge cannot perform this simple differentiation of
roles or refuse to do so, they have no place in national
politics.
You may promise certain expediencies to the people as a political
party during campaigning, but the basic fundamental difference
between parties and state agencies is that the latter carries out
the wishes of the ruling party to an extent that National Interests
or common Municipal Interests are not infringed upon.
I wish one day that common sense will replace this keen idiocy that
seems to permeate our housing programmes. Call me ashamed to be a
Singaporean with a half-cooked municipal housing maintenance
program.
