Rock^Star SG Well obviously this guy voted for LHL right haha. They could be right in their own sense too (to a certain extent of course), isn't it? Everyone holds true to their own beliefs
[email protected] SG he give a lot of bullcrap about how PAP can make changes. but at the end of the day, isn't it worse to vote for a party which can make changes but refuse to because they profit less even though its more beneficial for the nation as a whole, than to vote for a party with lesser abilities to make changes? If the "lesser" party comes into power, I don't doubt that it'll become equally able to make changes quickly.
casino_king SG What is gahman for if not to make changes to benefit the majority rite? Brace yourself, guys, for another big round of property price increases. Mainly to benefit people with many extra properties. All you who do not own properties? die standing. All you who own properties? Sell and buy another expensive one also no use, so sell and run away….. ask @Heng how to get out.
[email protected] SG ask me for wad? im not out. physically i might be out and may be for years, but doesn't mean im mentally out.
[email protected] SG there is a simple solution. if we vote in another party then PAP will be kept honest.
Rock^Star SG Agree totally. We need to blood the opposition so that they may be given a base footing. Even PAP started from peanuts right? Once they get a stronger base footing in parliament, they will get stronger and stronger......and eventually very credible.
[email protected] SG and because there is already a PAP in existance, the new party in power would have to be very honest, because people could easily vote them out again. Similiarly, PAP will have to be honest in a bid to get back in power. But because there is now an alternative party for people to vote for overwhelmingly, neither party can afford to be dishonest anymore. but people dun see that do they? they only look at short term gains.
Rock^Star SG SIGHZ.......... Will a power change be effected in our lifetime?!? Even before I die somewhere in 2050, 60, that time see power change I also content
sgdiehard SG I'm not looking at a complete power change, but a significant presence of credible opposition in the parliament, like 4 singles and 2 GRCs. Believe we can achieve that by the next 3 elections, yr 2021. by then LKY and probable GCT would be gone, at least from politics, LHL would be 69 and probable stepping down. It would be a different world..... If we couldn't make any changes by 2026, with another election, and had not been able to migrate for good, I don't want to talk politics anymore. 2050? if I could survive that long here, then this place is not that bad a place for me afterall.
OO_OO_OO SG personally, i really dont care who is in power. I just want 2 solid parties to represent the people and i want the human rights which we all deserve. I want out govt to practice true transparency and not hide everything behind the media.. it is impossible to have a perfect govt. but i want our govt to at least TRY to be perfect. By controlling everything, even the people's voices, they are obviously trying to remove democracy from this nation.
ShutterBug SG Well, in time to come, 50% of our population will comprise mainly of foreigners. The trend of locals immigrating is every increasing - those who have the means will surely do so. New generations will likely more globally mobile, affluent, highly educated, and family or parents likely well travelled and financially capable. What do you think? Will locals stay on to all of these that people have posted in here??
fudgester SG A number of people I spoke to said that it was a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea when it comes to voting. And some of them would rather deal with the former's certainties than face the unknown that comes with the latter.
DriftingGuy SG Well you can't really blame them. Many people are risk averse and would rather stick to doing or choosing what they are familiar with, even if its something that they are not happy with.
