robertteh SG In the first place, one of the MPs said on TV that election is a matter of national importance. If that is the case how do we pass the GRC law to make it necessary to require election candidate to fill a form of minority race candidate in order to be eligible to stand for election. Is not the GRC system law an issue of national importance as well? If it is then should it not be made or incorporated as an integral part of the constitution of Singapore and be referred to a national referendum before introduction as law since it changes the election system from one-man-one-vote system to one-man-multi-candidates system. Upgrading of HDB estates was generally passed by greater majority exceeding three quarter majority of those living in the estate proposed for upgrading. Shouldn't any change to one-man-one-vote constitutional right of citizen be passed by a greater majority than even for lift upgrading of the estates? So shouldn't our many highly talented and respected MPs and Ministers who spoke about the missing form as a matter of national importance pay even greater attention to the passing of the GRC laws and ask if that law should be passed by national referendum and requiring even a higher percentage in passing it then 75 % required for approval of HDB estate upgrading. If our new MP candidates are parties to the election, they should not speak with such authority to avoid conflict of interest. Let an independent election officer not related to the government seeking re-election speak for better decorum. After all when election should be free it should not be subjected ao t minority form to become a real issue in any system. It is time to review the GRC election system which in the first place is a greater national issue than the minority form in this instance. Where is the sense of proportion or fair-play in our election if we want to go on quibbling over a form which in the first instance is not even required for election in true democracies ?

LazerLordz SG http://www.seapabkk.org/news/se/20010611.html James Gomez was listed #44 influential person in Asia by Time/Asiaweek in 2001 "Singaporean activist James Gomez joined the list at number 44. An author and founder of Think Centre Singapore, a free speech organization, Gomez is dedicated to widening the possibilities for real free speech in his country. He has exploited the Internet and the power of the media to strike a chord with citizens who want a more level political playing field, Asiaweek said of Gomez."
SG,LauBaiXing SG Thank you LazerLordz, My doubts with James Gomez motives has been clarified after reading your provided Link. I can sleep better from tonight..........
mancha SG Its the CNA camera that he was refering to, and he mentioned that as proof that he did submit the form. JG knew all along that he did not submit the form. He was playing poker, and his bluff was exposed by the Election Dept CCTV.
SG,LauBaiXing SG Why are those big guns not moving on then ? They just want him out of politic in Singapore !
SG,LauBaiXing SG They've already identified Gomez as seriously as our famous Mr.Phua Chu Kang phrase : "don't play play" with this guy, if not there will be lots of dust flying in the parliament.
ditzy SG They are going to be biting more than just dust if they don't do something constructive the next 3 days.
