1. Lee Kuan Yew has dozens of relatives occupying high public
office, inconsistent with his claims of meritocratic government. He
is the defacto ruler of Singapore, his son is the Prime Minister,
his nephew in law Wong Kan Seng is the Deputy Prime Minister. There
are children, siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers-in law,
former classmates of Lee Kuan Yew occupying high positions in the
public sector, drawing big salaries from taxpayers money. Not even
in commuist China is so much power concentrated in 1 clan.
2. Do you know what is happening with the national reserves, made
up of hardearned savings and taxpayer money? Only LKY, his son, and
his daughter in law knows what is going on there. The only thing we
know is that industry insiders are astonished that Ho Ching, LKY's
daughter in law, is still allowed to control the national reserves
after a track record of loss-making outcomes. This is inconsistent
with the practices of countries possessing of a similar national
reserve, ie, Norway or Hongkong. The people of Singapore needs to
know for themselves whether taxpayers money and CPF savings are
still there.
3. The National Kidney Foundation fiasco is a result of a public
body (ie, the NKF) being unaccountable to the general public whose
money it is spending. Similar lack of transparency and
accountability exists with most of the public linked bodies, from
Temasek Holdings to the GIC. Can Singaporeans be sure that the NKF
is the only, or even biggest can of worms around?
4. The President of Singapore is constitutionally empowered to make
sure the finances have not been embezzled or abused has been barred
from looking into the accounts. Ong Teng Chong asked to exercise
his elected rights in looking into financial information privvy
only to LKY, LSH and Ho Ching. He was denied, and was soon replaced
as President of Singapore. After his death, OTC was refused a state
funeral despite being the only ever elected President of Singapore.
His replacement, President Nathan, is unelected and has a history
of working with the Japanese during WW2.
5. Singapore's standard of living has declined dramatically from
4th highest in the world to outside the top 25 in the world, but
PAP politicians still award themselves the 1st highest salaries in
the world. Singaporeans make half the salary of the average Swiss,
but PAP politicians make multiple times the salary of the average
Swiss politician. Singapore is one of a very small handful of
countries in the world to have undergone a decline in the standard
of living over the last decade. According to the World Bank, in
absolute terms, Singapore now has a standard of living much closer
to Colombia than Switzerland.
6. Many in the core group of PAP and civil service pioneers
responsible for Singapore's success in the first place (during the
1960s, 70s and 80s) think that the current PAP team has led the
country down the wrong way. They include Ngiam Tong Dow,
Singapore's youngest ever (and regarded by many as our most
capable) permanent secretary, and Toh Chin Chye, the first and
founding President of the PAP.
7. The PAP has an unparalleled track record for bankrupting and
destroying opposition politicians such as Jeyaratnam and Francis
Seow, who would have served as a check on their powers. The PAP's
persecution of those from other political parties have caused the
world's most respected publications like the Economist, the New
York Times, and the South China Morning Post to point out that the
PAP is using national institutions for individual and party
gains.
8. Nelson Mandela, is the world's second longest serving political
prisoner. He served 27 years before being released and is now a
Nobel prize winning leader and figurehead. The world record holder
for being a political prisoner is Singapore's Chia Thye Poh, a
physics teacher and popular elected opposition MP, who was jailed
for advocating an end to the Vietnam war. In the US, Bill Clinton,
Mohammad Ali, and Martin Luther King were praised for protesting
the war and being the conscience of the nation. In Singapore, Chia
Thye Poh was detained for 32 years.
9. Singapore has a death penalty against drugs, but the CIA in the
US lists Singapore government linked companies as being an
important money launderer for the drug regime in Myanmar which has
caused thousands of deaths.
10. According to government plans, in 20 years time (and 3 General
Elections from now), there will be 7 million Singaporeans. Foreign
migrants with Singapore citizenship will outnumber local born
Singaporeans. Singapore born Singaporeans will be a minority within
Singapore, outvoted by the newcomers.
11. According to evidence gathered by American researchers, new
migrants always vote for the ruling party, in this case the PAP.
Therefore, this coming election and the next are the only elections
where NS serving, Singaporeans born citizens can make their voices
heard and enforce their political will without dilution.
12. What is good for Lee Kuan Yew is not always good for the PAP.
What is good for the PAP is not always good for Singapore. You and
I need to remind ourselves that what is good for Lee Kuan Yew is
not always good for Singapore.
