Nelstar SG My son, who will marry the great grand daughter of Lee Kuan Yew. Then I shall control Singapore politics from the back seat, and then bring chaos into this world by investing Singapore's money into a research for a deadly virus with no viable cure. DREAM ON!

I think teo chee hean.... mature and cool...... hahahaha
Salman SG what you say is true, but many people discriminate against him just because he is Lee Kuan Yew's son.
redstone SG I choose Tharman or Goh Chok Tong, but GCT is a little too old... Both had introduced lots of reforms.
Nelstar SG In the years GCT was at the helm. I see reforms, but I don't see valuable improvement in our political system.
Marcus_Aurelius SG what is this Nelstar, GCT has promised us more good years ahead and swiss standards of living and he has delivered on his promise. you just need to look around you. Singaporeans will be more than greatful if he were to lead us once more.
Nelstar SG GCT promised more good years ahead but the heavy levy on entering the political system of our country has made democracy a monetary figure. GCT did not alter the monetary requirement making me wonder where the hell has democracy went to in the figures of money. Got money = Good leader for the country?
Marcus_Aurelius SG The heavy levy was imposed in the first place to prevent people from making a mockery of the election system i.e to prevent any tom, dick or harry to suka suka join for fun. Besides the high levy was present even before our great SM Goh took over office. Its true that it could deter potential candidates from standing for office for fear of losing the deposit in the event he/she fail to obtain a certain proportion of votes but the government noes what is best for us remember what our leaders have said Nelstar, we are not ready for western style democracy.
Nelstar SG The Government is overly-efficient, and soon, we become robots instead of men. Please tell me, for goodness sake, how efficient is levy compared to having no-monetary levy attached election but political party based participation? If a person/group represents a political party which in turn represent a combined group of active personnels who believed in certain clause will that be a better solution as compared to the monetary focused election? And by having a law where political parties can only be formed to participate in election when they have a big enough representation of their clause in numbers, wouldn't that be more efficient? The Government knows best, the Government knows best. Tsk. Tsk. I'm not buying that. I know our Government is efficient in most area, but in this, I'm doubting it.
Marcus_Aurelius SG Nelstar, i can see that you don't really like the government but nevermind its ok. our PM have said ours must be an open and exclusive society. so its ok to have voices like you around. remember Nelstar, our leaders know what is best for us and allegations of gerrymandering and goalpost moving are are all unfounded. i am going to sleep now ok.please don't talk bad about government ok. nitey nite
Nelstar SG Or are you telling me, politics is the rich men's territory such that the poor got no say in anyway?
Nelstar SG I don't like the Government, nor most of the opposition. Our leaders know best for us is like saying we should let our lives be run in a straight channel to the end instead of having multiple channels to choose the end product. This is the most defining moment of my life, listening to such enthusiastic the Government knows best theories. Can you answer whether its the people that define the Government, or the Government that defines its people?
Nelstar SG Lobbying the idea "the Government knows best" is like saying the citizens knows second best.
