If MPs are
to do such mundane and routine stuff, do you need super talents to become MPs?
Do you need top doctors, lawyers, police commissioners and generals to run town
councils? I think Ah Lian and Ah Huat would be more than able to run town
councils as long as they don’t try to be clever and start to invest in funny
bonds and notes.
Actually this
is only half of the story. MPs running town councils is more applicable for
opposition MPs. They need to be tested in running town councils first, if
passed, then they can think about running the govt. For the time being they can
go to Parliament and ask questions. And if too busy with running town council
works, can apply leave from Parliament also. Running town councils shall be top
priority.
As for the
top doctors, lawyers, police commissioners and generals, they would not be
running town councils. They would be running the country. The PAP is the ruling
govt and they need these top talents to run the govt. No need for them to prove
themselves in running town councils. They have the talents to run the country
without having to run town councils.
The PAP
shall run the country, the opposition MPs shall run the town councils. Full
time MPs run town councils.
What do you
think?
They have the talents to run the country without having to run town councils.

This is the advantage of PAP which is ready to be govt mah. So why begrudge PAP for having this advantage?
If the opposition, like PAP, is also ready to be govt, they will, as a matter of course, also have the talents to run the country without having to run town councils lor.
So too bad lah, if the opposition is not ready, it's 100% their fault and for sure got disadvantages one what, tio bo?
Just ask yourself. How can the opposition have advantages over the PAP when they are not ready to be govt?
ReplyDeleteHow can you have a good life when you do not have money?
ReplyDeleteHello 12 Sept! Hello 12 Sept!
Whether PAP will increase its votes and achieve a
100% elected parliament will very much depends on
the SWING voters which is roughly 1/3 of the voting
population.
Therefore happenings of parties closer to polling day
is very very VERY critical. Any news can "swing"!
By 8 Sept, many political and market watchers would have
their own forecasts of the GE results with plenty of news
and stories to tell you.
Don't worry be happy!
Stock-up a few cans cool beer and snacks at home.
Relax and watch the results on TV.
You will be very very very very very surprised
early morning 12 SEPT!
Surprised? Surprised?
We shall see.
Cheers.
Where countries were bigger,more complicated..you have federal n state legislature. When you have a country as big as our little red dot n you want the daft to think that running this country is really complicated...you set up town councils la. This is empire building in all its glory. Now we can have Mayors..n a whole bunch of bureaucracy to support it..( can any bold faced liar stand up n say he knows what a mayor does)..isn't this fantastic? Giving grants and money to town councils..it's like Federal Govt giving money to the states. And right on top of this beauraucratic monolith..sits the Natural Aristocrat...very soon they'll have subdivisions of town councils too....hehe
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would trust PAP to wash my car.
ReplyDeleteDo you trust PAP with the power to issue employment pass and pink i/c to Aliens?
If not, better vote Opposition.
The trump card will be the new citizens.
ReplyDeleteThe swing votes must be substantial enough to overcome the votes of new citizens.
This advantage is less spoken. Hope the new citizens will now think like the original citizens and know the danger of unrestrained and reckless population increase. It would affect their future too.
I am new citizen for 9 years and my wife is a new citizen for 3 years. My son also pink ic and will be going to NS in few years. Both of us will be voting for anyone except papies. I dont understand why bloggers are saying that new citizens will be supporting pap? Gratitude blah blah… my foot. Been living here for 20 years. We have seen both sides and now we are trapped. Back there anyone can have a good car, here? Relatives visiting us laugh at us seeing our pigion hole home. Quality of living is very bad here. Pappies demise will be start from new citizens as most of them are netizens as well as they do not have the fear factor.

Tiok. And PAP, being govt and in charge of ICA, knows exactly how many new citizens can vote in coming GE. Not enough, add some more lah. So simple, tio bo?
Hence PAP sure win, at least with 2/3 majority seats because WP contest less than 1/3 seats. Other than WP, the rest sure lose, some even their deposits. Just ask yourself. If Hainan Ah Ko was not even close to winning in 2011, what makes u think he can win in 2015? And if Hainan Ah Ko cannot, what makes u think the rest can?
Teochew AH Hia can win is only out of sympathy that if even he lose, no more opposition in PArliament, which is not good also. So Ah Hia will win. If lucky, Ah Huat and Ah Lian may also win. That's the best scenario opposition can get for GE 2015. In other words status quo.
The Reason why this Coming General Election gonna be the Last and Final Chance for Sinkies to remove the Pappies, is simply because after this Election, the Following Ones that come after 2020+ shall have more ALIENS SINKIES THAN NATIVE SINKIES.
ReplyDeleteAND BECAUSE THEY ARE NEW SINKIES GRANTED CITIZENSHIPS BY PAPPIES, WHO THEY WILL VOTE NEEDS NO GUESSING.
TO END CRONYISM, DESPOTISM AND TO PREVENT INFLUX OF ALIENS,
VOTERS HAVE TO VOTE ALTERNATIVE PARTIES.
OTHERWISE, BE PREPARED TO COMPETE WITH ALIENS.

Just forget about trump cards and do the right thing for more goodies to follow. I wanna have GE every year. Lots of promises, giveaways, free this and that. It is fun.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I understand that there are about 200 blocks of HDB flats that cannot have life upgrading. Now, if these are in PAP wards and those residents voted for the PAP in anticipation of lift upgrading, would they be banging their marbles. Maybe, these can also be trump cards. Oops, sorry for saying that.
As an oldie I sometimes wonder how we ever come this far from the old days without town councils to run the country?
ReplyDeleteOne thing is for sure. We were hardy, able to withstand hardship, unrelenting and can face obstacles squarely without help, subsidies, bribes and unfair treatment from the authorities.
We have come very far, progressed very well, but have we been really tested under real adversity?
We are facing adversity without knowing it. The country has been sold out, with so many foreigners here and so many given citizenships.
ReplyDeleteMost glad to see that Singaporeans are beginning to realize that the Coming General Election is not just about choosing leaders.
ReplyDeleteIT IS ABOUT RIDDING LEADERS THAT HAVE TAKEN THE PEOPLE FOR GRANTED TREATING THEM(THE PEOPLE) AS ECONOMIC DIGIT/搖钱树.
When the People(树) become no more productive, they are left to fend for themselves or their children are bound by Law to do so.
NOT TO FORGOT THAT MOST SANDWICHED SINKIES ARE THEMSELVES STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE.
FOREIGNERS ARE BROUGHT IN TO TAKE OUR JOB, SPACE AND EVEN BUSINESS.
NATIONAL ASSETS ARE SOLD TO FOREIGN COMPANIES YHAT MAKE PROFIT OUT OF SINKIES.
TO MAKE IT SHORT, WE ARE PAWNED AND SOLD BY OUR ARISTOCRAT CLASS.
I WE FAIL TO SACK THEM THIS 11th September 2015, THEN IT MEANS SINKIES ARE FINE WITH
CRONYISM
DESPOTISM and
BETRAYAL.

New citizens who have lived here for some time would understand what the future means if more and more people are brought in.
ReplyDeleteFor the really new ones who are still green and innocent, they are highly likely to vote for the party unless they are wise enough to see the danger ahead.
