And with so many people supporting it, it is ridiculous for
anyone to organise a protest at Hong Lim on the fare hike. And Gilbert Goh is
doing exactly that today at 5pm. Sure
the turnout is going to be pathetic.
Let’s see, if only 500 turn out, then I can foresee that it
will be reported that only 500 people were against the fare hike and the rest
of the 3.4 million Sinkies and also the foreigners here supported the fare
hike.
It is a good call, a good decision to have the fare hike
when it is supported by the silent majority.
Other race MP can be make NMP and NCMP if not enough other races MP, there is no excuse to form GRC to bring in the loser MP or also ran?
ReplyDeleteThe oppositions brought the Nordic, Swiss & New Zealand to these level of success?
The main party previously is an opposition party?
With the forming of GRC, up to 6 candidates lump together in a group, up to 6 also ran were bring in through the GRC, as difficult to know who is the also ran?
38pc MP are other race, chinese form 70pc population in the GRC?
2011 up to 28 also ran or MP were brought out of 35 seats or 40 percents of the votes went to the oppositions voices? So the main party got 93 percent or 81 out of 87 seats?
60s as Singapore face many challenge like the communist insurgency, Indonesia confrontasi, racial riots, gangsterism, prostitution, gambling and drug addictions?
Social illness that afflicted us in the 60s were coming back?
The single seat or SMC system brought us to the success of the 80s and 90s? As that time Singapore was cheap, it well come foreign investments?
Cost begin to rise Singapore no long competitive, so it brought in cheaper and cheaper foreigners? Many of the brightest left about 300K left behind their parents? As the no longer compete with the foreigners?
Because of the forming of the GRC in 1988, Singapore slowly begin to decline?
With these GRC system walkover after walkover, only one or two opposition MP can come, what a ridiculous democracy, no wonder Singapore are look down and be the butt of the joke of the world?
After the initial drawing of foreign investment, Singapore should develop it own industries, SMC like the Nordic and Israel?
Singapore still looking for cheaper and cheaper foreigners, because little opposition in the parliament, little voices can be heard?
And they kept increase their pay?
Slowly Singapore degenerate after the 97 massive recessions, and harrowing out of Singapore, many of the investment went to China as it open up?
So it is important not to depend on foreign investment?
One Minister said that in the 97 after Singapore faced at least 3 recessions, so Singapore had no choice but to welcome in 2 casinos?
Usually those place where is the poorest want casinos to boost their economy, like Las Vegas and Macau with not much choices?
After they approved the casino straight away the increase their salaries to 25 percents and the hawker food almost immediately increase 25 percents?
Singapore need to learn from its mistake not to be like the CHina Boxer Rebellions or the Arab Spring, the leaders are not stupid, they know how to draw the world highest salaries, 8 month bonuses, allowances, Pensions?
If Singapore Sink like the Boxer Rebellion, Arab Spring, everybody sink together?
That why the Nordic develop their system with high birthrate, low income disparity, low gini coefficient and high standard of living, with multi party systems?
Oppositions will help the main party not to go the easy way of keep using cheaper worker to replace the locals, develop incentives, awards, recognitions to those who innovate, design to make better products to sell to the world?
Whether 500 or 10,000, sama sama (same) lah.
ReplyDeleteEven if is 10,000, will it make the strongest Sinkie opposition party announce they are ready to be govt, you tell me lah?
100% Sinkies can be against the fare hike but what really matters is whether 60% Sinkies still think PAP is the best available party to be govt.
I hope Gilbert and others can see the light out of this and stop wasting his and Sinkies' time at HLP.
Learn from CSJ. He did not succeed one bit despite more than a decade of organsing protests.
Hahahahaha. That's why only a Sinkie like Gilbert will organise protests, even legal ones, in Sinkieland.
ReplyDeleteHe is definitely not the type of material to become Sinkie PM, in my view. By the way, Gilbert contested in Tampines GRC in GE 2011 and predictably, lost even to a very unpopular PAP MBT.
60% were indeed wise, in GE 2011.
PAP-SMRT Joke
ReplyDelete---------------
QUESTION:
What is on the last 6 pages of the SMRT emergency breakdown manual?
ANSWER:
The bus time-tables.
==================
MRT
- Cannot handle the mass
- cannot be rapid
- can only transit into a bus or taxi
With the advance of technology and internet, it is not necessary to use the GRC? Communications were instantaneous? Racial disputes were solve immediately?
ReplyDeleteIn the 70 and 80 with the SMC system with brought Singapore much success, as capable MP were brought in by one to one contest system?
As that with the GRC too many also ran MP were brought formulated policies that causes much problems and distress?
Singapore face today like high inflation, many bright people left, causing heavy brain drain and other social ill?
Not enough opposition MP brought in the GRC system?
Now is the internet era, Singapore can't afford to make those mistake make in the past? The third world countries are moving up fast?
With the quota reserve for those other race MP in case not enough other races MP voted in, but they can vote on important matter? Like the NMP and NCMP schemes, they can voices out?
Don't tell me if Filipino population and Japanese population increase to a level they will form GRC with 8 candidates in one contest, something wrong with these type of mentality?
Give excuse too need to be reasonable, the world is watching these is the internet age? Don't make Singapore the butt of the joke of the world?
Many countries with multi racial didn't use the GRC system?
Previously many other race MP like JBJ and other etc, can come in by the single seat contest, if they have the merits and capabilities?
So it is better to revert to the SMC system and not to give profit sharing during the election, but after the election?
With more incentives award given to local to make better products, modeling the Nordic, which produce high quality and designers products?
So it not necessary to bring in more and more cheaper foreigners to take away locals and their children job and depress their pay?
With SMC it will be more cost effective to run the govt, if their pay were to lower around or a bit higher then the Nordic ministers salaries?
No use having protest at Hong Lim. They think those protest are just like a party in the park. Which is what they always think when the huge crowds turn out at opposition election rallies.
ReplyDeleteThe only workable solution is to make good use of your vote. Give them more wake up punches and let them wonder what the hell is happening with Singaporeans not supporting their highly esteemed candidates. Any thing else is just right ear in and left ear out. Waste of time.
Singapore face with serious challenge of low birthrate, high income disparity, decline in standard of living? Because using the GRC system?
ReplyDeleteOne of the way is try to help the old live near their children and encourage to live near their children?
So that their children don't need external help, by lowing the lease to 90 or 80 years instead of 99 years, make it cheaper for the old to monetize their HDB flat to stay near their chldren?
Or monetize the HDB or CPF directly?
Let them refinance it, work out the scheme the old HDB and refinance the CPF, so that not to locked it for life?
The ministers know how to get the highest salaries in the world, pensions, allowances and 8 month bonuses?
They should know how to monetize the CPF and HDB to help the older persons, who might lost their jobs to the cheaper foreigners? Which is a win win situation?
Some jokers are the one who cause the fare to increase but are now calling for protest.
ReplyDeleteThose mathematics KK sinkies keep claiming workers being paid too little and exploitation by employers even our employers are doing their best .
See?Claim drivers salary low right?Want to compare with Aussies driver right?
Such daft KK Sinkies are the one to be blame for having poor vision.Even if 5 K turn up,it will only increase the revenue of
the transport providers as protesters will have to take transport there and transport is not free..
Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan were called the 4little dragons in the 80s because it economic successful?
ReplyDeleteNow only Japan, South Korea, and Israel with no resources make it to the advanced nation?
At least SIngapore still got a busy port better then Israel with no resources and port, how Singapore degenerate better to with must of it factories are manned by third world workers?
Last time Singapore used to be the most promising to be an advanced nation, out of the 4 nations, because of it smaller population, more nimble?
The sad true is because of flaws policies and the oppositions not able to complement their ideas in the parliament, now it more likely to degenerate back to the third with it vote passing to losers GRC system?
With more and more of its social ill crept out, under it cosmetic outside, when look at it better yard - credit companies, loan sharks, casino, gambling and rampant prostitution, divorces, suicides, low birthrate, wide disparities in income?
2016 profit sharing scheme should not be given during the election, it should be given after the election?
This vote passing to losers, prevent the opposition winners from coming in?
Sometime use to only one or two oppositions coming in the Parliament, which is a disgrace to the world, as the first generations of leaders work so hard trying to bring it to the first world?
Can't imagine it drop back?
The buddy buddy vote topped up system, mean if you agreeable with me I got more vote to you my excess votes less then 50 percents so you can come in at the expense of the oppositions, with make me more difficult?
If you not agreeable with me your chance of coming in the parliament is slim?
The main party with only 60 percents of the vote command 93 percents of the seats, which the should get only 52 seats out of 87 seat contested they got 81 seats in 2011 election?
The oppositions candidates as much as 28 seats. which should be coming if by the single seats contest, one to one contests ,no longer able to come in?
These if one of these day discovered by the UN, will downgraded Singapore back to the third world, which practice third world way?
If more people know candidate can come in by people giving votes to them ways, the world will laugh until the tooth drop?
Just like children playing games, what for holding elections? If those should had won the seats, can't came in?
Singapore will be a disgrace to the world, as many oppositions members, around 28 seats, which pull down by the average votes, can't come in?
These vote passing system, likely to bring in those losers that make policies of the loser mentality, like some third world leaders?
As the East Bloc communists countries, in the Europe, after the world two, until recently saw they lagged behind so far ,already abandon their socialist ideas and embraced the multi system type of democracies?
The one party system no longer relevant in today internet age?
Will Singapore degenerate futher?
It is the height of arrogance to claim that they will only look after the percentage of voters who voted for them - in a true democracy a government serves all of the nation's people regardless of their voting preferences. Did someone mentioned democracy?
ReplyDeleteArrogant and spiteful.
ReplyDeleteUnder this shameful system or vote passing system under the disguise of GRC?
ReplyDeleteIf you are disagreeable with the main party policies, even you got majority of the votes or you are good, you can't come in if you are disagreeable with the polices?
But if you are a loser you don't won majority of the votes you can coming, they can give you some votes to come in?
Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan used to be called the 4 little dragons because it economic successful?
Now only Japan, South Korea, and Israel with no resources made it to the advanced nation?
At least SIngapore still got a busy port better then Israel with no resources and port, how Singapore degenerate factories are manned by cheap third world workers? As other countries depend on its own tech?

Yes most supported the fare increases as according to CNA only 300 people protested out of 5 million population
ReplyDeleteIn a state ruled by fear, protests are only for the brave.

Better alternative protestations could be to flood the mrt on a weekend, getting as many to take a ride on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Or get workers to flood the hospitals and polyclinics on a Monday morning together. These arrangements will test the transport and health systems in Sg.
ReplyDeleteWhether or not they are able to handle difficult situation will be for all to witness themselves. Then think deep into a real emergency situation and have an idea how ugly and agonizing the end can be.
As expected, only about 300 turned up yesterday at HLP.
ReplyDeleteSo what else can be expected in Sinkieland in the near future, particularly in 2016?
Very boring, if a lot of things are as expected, tio bo?
Netizens and all, any suggestions to make things more interesting and exciting?
Read RB blog? Hahahahahahahaha.

Tiok. That's the best available interesting thing to do for now, I mean in my armchair lah. LOL
Against the fare hike and voting for PAP are 2 separate things.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha.
