That's the ideal but unfortunately, it will not be reality at least for now.
Still, we would require a strong leader to steer, to approve and understand the feasibility of any proposal.

If the pioneer generation of leaders did it in the 60s (albeit with economic advisers), I dont see why the current generation of Singaporeans will not rise to the task. After all, they devise policy that would affect themselves and their children's future.

Chiu maybe be living it up but cld chiu maybe juz take a look ard at other ppl for a change instead of juz da mirror?

So, if the situation is reversed today, would those people have a look at me and vote for PAP?

Come on, the world is realistic and cruel. Everyone fights for himself. Don't act like a saint.

A widening income gap and disenchanted lower class will in the long run destabilise a country and its chances of sustained prosperity.

So its quite obvious dat among da kind voting for pap one group ish da selfish type.

Yes. BUT, in a fair election, the Parliament will comprise a proportionate amount of representatives. Unfortunately we do not have a parliament that reflects that 60 to 40 ratio. Is that right?

Nothing can last forever. Actually, the GRC system has proven that it can now backfire. Continuous lousy government and it will eventually unravel.

See, you judge people who don't share your belief as idiots. Why can't they enjoy the system and are finding ways to benefit from them as well? You think yourself who vote for oppy are above the them all. :s22::s22:

Yes they might screw up in some areas, but they do well in other areas as well. Look around, even roll royce honor Singapore. I believe every party will have their own strength and weakness. It just whether you are on the side that is benefiting or not.

Yes. I judge them based on those reasons they gave, which I stated. I dun despise all who supports the incumbent, just give better reasons to show your support. You are welcome to stay in lalaland, and frown upon those who "judge" like what you are doing to me, ironically. People judge everyday. Period.

Them being idiots doesn't put me at a higher place, I might even be an outcast in their eyes. But it doesn't matter. There is no room for politically correct pleasantries. And Rolls Royce honor singapore, not PAP. Sorry you see them as one.

glance before jin many times liao. can't find. tell me who? csj?

dun tell me normal nus grad is elite pls

Tin pei ling also from nus what. V elite meh ?

Anyway Ivy League so what? Policies they come up with are so myopic, only focus on $$ (probably cos it affects them too) by increasing fares/ immigrants etc, rather than everyday issues. And then try to downplay any ft problems, any freak nature occurrence like 50yr "ponding"

You are welcome to vote whoever you want. They can give whatever reason as long as they like it. It's their vote who are you to say they are idiot? Just because you think your reason is more "fair" and "smart" lol! Alright.

Hate to break it to you, pap form most of the government in Singapore. They are doing something right that make Singapore famous and even rolls Royce honor us. You don't see rolls Royce going around doing that do you? I'm sorry if you can't see the big picture.

First of all must have good capable opposition candidates
Not those want to get some power or just for own agenda instead of making the nation progress as a whole

And I won't vote for people that can be seen during GE n PE
How many of them actually walk the ground I don't know

But I think that smc guy frn wp is v Sian though coz absorb into GRC. Esp if he's walking the ground then it's not fair for him as this is unexpected

N democracy also means u can decide with ur own vote
Don't label or give people names when on one hand u asked for democracy but on the other hand u scold people who vote differently Frm you.

I guess more and more Singaporeans are now learning to exercise their democratic rights to vote after years of walkovers. Its a relatively new phenomenon lah at 50 years of nationhood;)
