Sadly, some of the best brains that have left the PAP are the
retired Cabinet Ministers, who are restricted from any acts of
Opposition due to the oath of office that they have made.
Even for those who have left the PAP, I believe that their oath of
commitment to the Party has also restricted their freedom after
leaving the Party.
Those who have left the PAP, and breached their oath of allegiance
have paid a heavy price for their seeming betrayal to the
Party.
Sadly, their action and personal bravery is not seen as an act of
LOYALTY to Singapore.
It seems that allegiance to the Party takes higher precedence than
allegiance to SINGAPORE.
Such is the twisted logic that exist, in which only members of the
Ruling Party has expressed "TRUE LOYALTY" to Singapore, and all
others are considered uncommitted "fence sitters".
If anyone dare to hold an opposing or alternate view, then you do
so at the risk of your own economic and pollitical future in
Singapore.
Sadly, many LOYAL Singaporeans have paid a heavy price, by having
their character profile and integrity assasinated; forced to leave
Trade Unions, University Posts, Public Employment.
Petty vindictiveness even go to the extent where the Tax
Department, Licensing Authorities, Legal Departments, and a
multitude of government services, are mobilised to prevent any
SINGAPOREAN from ever expressing their version of LOYALTY to
Singapore.
Again, LOYALTY to the Ruling POLITICAL Party comes BEFORE Loyalty
to SINGAPORE.
Little wonder that "Play Schools" and "Kindergartens" are only
allowed to exist in the void decks of HDB blocks, if it is runned
by the Ruling Party, so that the "education" of the Young starts at
even before the "Kindergarten" Stage.
This seems to be a familiar practise found in the People's Republic
of China; and yet we are frightened of hidden Communist Cells
within our Society. With the ghosts of a underground communist
cells being used to label and frame any intellectually talented
Singaporeans who dare to be vocal, and will not co-operate or join
the Ruling Party.
Where will this bring us ?
Will the present structure of uncorruptible Government outlast the
next generation of "talented leaders" - who are handpicked from a
restricting and diminishing pool of local Singaporean Talent
?
With the "Talented" being enticed to Public Office by the "Million
Dollar Remuneration Package", and not for the Honor of Public
Service.
