this is actually a lesson you seem to refuse to
understand...
that you do not sell your loyalties cheaply to ANY political
party...
here, the MIW have betrayed the trust the people have given to
them and strangely, they are still in power.. there is fear...
they are slowly starting to learn that they are there by the
grace of We, the Citizens of Singapore...
they do not have a god-given right to be there...
you have also failed to learn your own cynicism... you are
cynical of the opposition parties actually being able to do
something instead of blindly scoffing that they are incompetent and
will ruin the country...
a mature country, if the people do their part, and the governing
party do their part, is infinitely stronger than a bunch of idiots
running the country who think they are infallible, and supported by
a blind misinformed people who give their loyalty cheaply to a
political party rather than the country... that is a recipe for
doom...
well, I have to say, if I am guilty of failing to be aware of my
own cynicism, then perhaps you are, too ...
the difference between our cynicism is that we actually, are
cynical of the group that each other voted for, regardless of any
pretenses of being, equal opportunity cynics, no ? In anycase,
since you too, don't think much of, say, the SDP and CSJ as well,
do you have a problem with me displaying the the same sentiments
?
I have said it before, the PAP has been graded by the people in
the last elections, and, despite falling from an A grade to a C
this time round, they were still passed by the people and handed a
mandate for another five years. It has been a fair and open
elections, the opposition got equal opportunities, even in the
press, and especially online. Was this not democracy at work ? ....
what's the difference between MM's call for aljunied to repent, and
an opposition supporters' call for the rest of singapore to repent
for the next 5 years ? And someone who chose to give his vote and
support to the PAP has "given his party loyalty cheaply ", is
"blind, misinformed " ? So someone who supports and voted for the
opposition is, not ? ......
I do not believe cynicism to be the way forward either. For to a
cynic, whether he is an equal opportunity cynic, or a biased one,
the powers-of-the-day can do no right, can never do enough, he'd
end up looking for the ulterior motivation, the self-serving
interest, the hidden scandal, the cynic ends up looking at things
only through the lens of his own interest, because he doesn't
believe anyone else or group is doing otherwise ...
for one more dose of irony ... I'll put this link here ...
