Robert,
1) I agree. But I also happen to notice that the provisions don't
just provide for the government to appoint the Chief Elector, but
include other people such as the opposition and the President. So I
suppose there is more objectivity in that sense?
Chief Elector is a good suggestion. Let there be a key
constitutional position to help safeguard the election and take the
government's hand off the whole dirty game of gerrymandering the
election process.
2) Are you mixing up economics with politics?
Politics and economics are intertwined and cannot be separated.
Good corporate governance is good for good politics and good
economics.
3) Guess so; or perhaps it is the Hierarchy itself. Power
corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The American's and Western democracy has worked well so far on
the basis of check and balance to prevent absolute power which has
taken deep root in our Island.
I wonder why this thread is being ignored... it seems pretty
interesting to me...
Singaporeans have been brainwashed into believing almost
anything the leaders have been assuming but were not working. That
will take quite some time to change.
