Election result 2006 - is it illegal to buy votes in poll?

robertteh SG

Is the 2006 Election legal? Is the ruling party guilty of buying votes?

Do we need an independent UN panel to hear this suit ? Is the current executive-controlled judiciary neutral to pass judgment on this case ?

Defeated Singapore Democratic Party candidate for Sembawang GRC, Ms Chee Siok Chin, has filed a summons in the High Court asking it to declare the results of the 2006 General Election null and void.

In her affidavit, Ms Chee said the PAP Government had used the HDB upgrading scheme and given out shares and cash to induce voters to vote for it and secure electoral victory.

She also wants the High Court to declare the ban on podcasting during the general election as unconstitutional.

Ms Chee's claims were filed by the SDP's lawyer M Ravi and addressed to the Attorney General of Singapore. - CNA/ir

SHE was a new face representing the Peoples Action Party, but when Ms Denise Phua surfed the Internet during the recent General Election, the tone of the postings stunned her.They were overwhelmingly slanted against the ruling party.

May I ask her:

(1) If Straits Times witheld my letters to the forum page like :"Proposal to Review the Constitution of Singapore" and withdrew another "Accountability and Transparency of government" because such letters were too sensitive to the government, then where would Denise expect me to write my letters to ?

(2) If Channel News Asia banned me from posting because of my views pointing our "20 major policy errors of the government" or "Leadership requied in the new age", where can I as a citizen get my views published or discussed.

(3) I observed that there were quite a number of pro-government Salmans who came here to post very strong pro-government views on various issues from NKF to democracy issues with constant praising of government leaders of their past 40 years of achievements.

So how sure is Denise of her allegation that 85% of the posting in the webs are too one-sided and the government has no part in giving its side of the stories?

Denise is welcome to reply to my posts on "20 Major policy errors of government", "Definition of True democracy", "NKF can of worms", "Proposal to review the Constitution of Singapore" to make my views more balanced or less one-sided. I will do my best to give her due credit to her better arguments and logics where Salman or Pandan have failed to do so.

There should also be a Class Action suit taken against the Ruling Political Party and all its Members of Parliament for passing new legislations that NULLIFY the provisions of the Singapore Constitutions that protects the Rights of Singapore to gather, to public speaking, to participate in national affairs.

For the past forty over years of continuous monopolistic control of Parliament, the Political Elite have used unhampered Parliamentary procedures to entrench the Ruling Party's grip on Singapore politics, and new legislations enriching themselves with increases in parliamentary allowances and ministerial wages.

Were Singaporeans consulted and views sought by way of any referendum of important changes that affect the Singapore Citizenry ?
