While the USA has a truly democratic process, in which the Citizens

Presidential Candidates, Singapore's political process does not
trust the judgment of the Singapore Citizens.
The selection of a Singapore Leader is conducted in secrecy and
behind close doors, to be annointed by 'God' himself, acting as the
Father - who will select his Son, while the Holy Gohst will give
his limited holy blessings.
The current change that will require the Future Prime Minister to
be elected by his own 'parliamentary peers' - seems to be
determined after the fact, with the aim of giving the annointed
some political legitimacy.
[b]J.B.J comments on PAP MPs selecting
PM

Please spare us this shananigan that the PAP MPs are going to
select the next Prime Minister.
I see that the PAP are now planning a shenanigan for Mr. Lee Hsien
Loong's succession as Prime Minister after I asked Mr. Goh Chok
Tong to clarify his remarks to CNN.
Until Goh was questioned about the succession in the CNN interview,
Singaporeans had been told in no uncertain terms that Mr. Lee Hsien
Loong would be the next Prime Minister. It had all been
arranged.
Goh was going to step down before the next elections and Lee Hsien
Loong would take over. Now, after I questioned Goh, we are told "Oh
no, PAP MPs are going to select the next Prime Minister".
It is just another show that the PAP are so good at putting up to
hide the truth.
We do not need any more shows about Lee Hsien Loong becoming the
Prime Minister.
Goh told CNN that Singaporeans had to accept "that the Lees are
controlling Singapore." So Singaporeans have to accept that the Lee
family decides who is to be the next Prime Minister.
Please spare us this shananigan that the PAP MPs are going to
select the next Prime Minister.

us that they have the ability to lead if not i don't think they'll
win, all i've seen so far are clowns, i don't even know the name of

they continue to carry on like this
