Another one of those brainwashed neophytes who sell the goody
image of the govt but falls short on actual substance.
Firstly, what votes are the opposition parties talking about?
For several decades now, voters have supported the People's Action
Party (PAP) Government, both in good and bad times......
.....Opposition parties had plenty of time, over the years, to
prove their worth. They went on campaigns to try and win voters
over to their plans for a better Singapore, and each time the
voters shut them out, except for two constituencies.
Have the people actually voted? Or have the number of walkovers
increased? For several decades, the politically slanted re-drawing
of electorial boundaries by a supposedly 'neutral' committee have
effectively killed off any attempts at long term planning by
opposition parties to bridge the heartlands.
What long term implications did NSS or ERS shares have in helping
the average singaporean ride the 'storm' of economic downturn back
in 2003? Is it any coincidence that there will be another round of
pay-outs for budget 2006 coming so close to a potential GE?
Have our citizens become so absent-minded the moment money is
thrown at them?
The opposition parties would like the people to believe that
whenever they bite the dust in an election, it is not a case of
voters rejecting their candidates or plans but rather one of voters
being bought over with 'sweeteners' from the incumbent
government.
This insults the intelligence of voters. Voters have matured over
the years and still they go with the winning team. They are
definitely not puppets on a string.
Indeed, with a nanny mentality created by the govt for the sole
purpose of generating a dependent society craving for HELP, can we
truly mature beyond the supposed level needed to offer measured
opinions?
Those who emigrated to other countries were callously labelled as
'quitters', yet they are the ones who found their niche. And
ironically, they had to 'quit' their NANNY to find it.
Now the govt suddenly has a change of heart, allowing overseas
voting and advertising plenty of sweeteners to attract back the
'lost sheep' from the herd.
What do these actions speak about the hypocrisy of our
leaders?
And with various fee hikes, exponential costs of living, stagnant
salary packages, glossed over employment statistics, WHAT PROMISES
have the ruling party lived up to?
Where is the purported pipe dream of SWISS STANDARD OF LIVING
mouthed off by our SM GCT? Or the fantasy of GOAL 2010 by the
arrogance of Mah Bow Tan? Would Buangkok MRT have opened without
the famous (now infamous) WHITE ELEPHANTS saga? Wasn't that one of
the promises by our transport minister, only to be marginalised
citing lack of population and high costs?
So many unanswered promises, and no admissions of MISTAKES and BAD
DECISIONS.
That is the daily story of our self-styled INFALLIABLE Ruling
Party.
