With all noble and good intention, the PAP went out of its way to change
the Constitution, gathered some of the most prominent citizens in a
Constitutional Commission to sanction the need for a Malay President and
how important and critical this is for a multi racial Singapore.
Unfortunately this whole scheme is looking to go astray and turning
sour. The ground is so uncomfortable and the only people that did not
see any problem with this whole thing are you know who.
The constitutional change is to ensure that a Malay will be elected as
the next President, or an ethnic minority, after a lapse of 5 terms. And
in this coming election it is loud and clear that it is the turn for
the Malay community to elect one of their kind to be the next President
of this island.
The change brought along high hopes in the Malay community that at last
another Malay would be the President after a long lapse since Yusof
Ishak was the first and last Malay President. There was exuberance in
the community but with some reservations that the crutch mentality is
going to plague them once again. But never mind, it is not their fault
as the community did not ask for it. It was all the initiative of the
govt of the day that wants to provide this crutch to give the community a
lift.
All seems well and good until the search of a Malay candidate begins.
And to the horror of the Malay community, they could not find an ethnic
Malay qualified to stand for this election, at least till now. And all
the three candidates were not Malay ethnically or were more dominant in
their ethnic lineages in other races.
How would this EP go along when it is reserved specially for the Malay
community, to be represented by a Malay, other ethnic communities not
allowed to compete in this race, but in the end no Malay candidate is up
for election? An election reserved for Malays but no Malay candidate
except mixed blood Malays or even Pakistani!
How pathetic can this be? How ludicrous! How farcical! The whole scheme
is to appease the Malay community, to make them feel that the community
is not left out in the cold, they are not forgotten. Would the outcome
of the EP election bring comfort to the Malay community if the elected
President is anything but a Malay?
Playing racial cards has its risk. Played correctly, there is a handsome reward awaiting, playing wrongly, you will leave bad taste behind. Why the rush to change the constitution when PE holds basically a ceremonial role under the current government. PE is effective only when an opposition party takes over the government and tries to draw out the reserves. PAP should know pure Malays are hard to come by these days. In view of their small community, many actually inter married with other races e.g. Pakistani, Arab, India Muslims, Angmo and even Chinese.

ReplyDeleteThe citizens can be charged for Contempt of the Courts if they just posted any remarks that remarked that the Courts are not fair in their judgements or whatsoever remarks.
But, the Government does not even Respect their own Courts when they simply still bulldozes their plans for the coming PE without even waiting for the verdict of Dr TCB's appeal.
Is it already a foregone case??
Oh, better retract this statement or have to serve time or fine $6000.00 for contempt of Court.
The Court reserved judgement and needs more time to decide the verdict.
Hope they msde a wise decision soon.
Just wondering. If Dr Tan were to win the Appeal, will Halimah retracted all her resignations and goes status quo??
Or, for them to save their water face, they will still put her for the election.
It will be very interesting if Dr Tan were to face one to one with her.
If she wins hands down then it be proved that the electorate consists of non colour bar and wise and pragmatic citizens not claimed to be by the PAP.
I thought Majullah Singapore mentioned that 'regardless of race, language or religion' we pledge ourselves as one united people. Why must race now be brought up to remind us of what we once were - divided along racial lines?
ReplyDeleteIf this issue had been brought up by the opposition, the noise on MSM opposing it will be deafening, with perhaps the one bringing it up having to 'run road' like Tang Liang Hong.
Zubir Said must be turning in his grave, wondering what has become of 'regardless of race, language or religion'?

How can Dr Tan win?
ReplyDeleteThe EP goalpost has been shifted, shrinked, moved far far away, nearly invisible.
If anyone still believe that the organs of state are not working for the powers that be, I rest my case.
How can Halimah lose with all the advantage in her favour, you tell me?
This EP will prevent an independent-minded citizen such as Tan Cheng Bock from being elected in the Presidential Election in 2017.
ReplyDeleteWould the outcome of the EP election bring comfort to the Malay community if the elected President is anything but a Malay?
ReplyDeleteRB
I think the more pertinent and critical question to PAP is whether in spite of this, will PAP still win the next election with more than 90% seats won?
If yes, why would PAP care whether EP election bring comfort or not to the Malay community?
ReplyDeletelt is just simply foolish to deprive the Citizenry to have the Best Available in the Land for them to choose as Leaders.
lt goes against Democracy to deny any citizen from contesting any political office.
lt violates Human Right
and Freedom of any citizen bar from contest of any open competition for political office.
With all kinds of restriction and condition arbitrarily imposed by the those in power, Singaporeans shall have little choice
and
DEFINITELY
NOT THE BETTER, BEST OR MOST ABLE CANDIDATES TO CHOOSE FROM.
This does not augur well for Sinkies and Singapore, when the citizens are offered little or NO CHOICE.

With WP Ah Hia and gang kena knocked out by the $33M ownself sue ownself lawsuit, the opposition will become even weaker and even more not ready to be govt.
ReplyDeleteSo next election may see PAP winning even 100% seats.
PAP may even change the electoral rules for Sinkieland to just only one big GRC with 90 seats.
So either the opposition contest one GRC only with 90 candidates under one party, or cannot contest.
So PAP can win 100% seats with only 50.00001 % votes or even a walkover.
Possible or not, u say lah?
What if 90% of the voters spoil their votes will the elected candidate still be creditably and honourably installed as President.

ReplyDeleteEven if he finds a way to goal by radar, they may install THAAD missiles to shoot him down, by crook or by hook, anyway you say it lah!
TCB better be careful he does not use offical stamps for his personal mail, or else they will dig this out. Such petty things in Red Dot are often used as nuclear weapons, more dangerous than THAAD missiles. He may lose his pants and have to really 'run road' or end up like Aung Juan Soon Chee.

If, and I say if, TCB gets elected, he could end up like Devan Nair or Ong Teng Cheong? He won't last the full term if he does not tow the line.

Also, some slight errors of overlapping of Harimau's votes would be considered valid, others not.
Aiyo, it be a walk over like Na Ay Tan.

There are alot of attention to what happens to a court case, how he would be treated even he could win. Talking about the past but blur about the present.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Malay candidate announced, the Pap 3 Chinese men on CNA in her GRC spoke to the press that they would cover HER duties.
3 Chinese men can form a GRC? Is this constitutional?
The Pap reset the Constitutions to put in a Malay president. This is a politically motivated way to avoid competition of President candidates. There are few Malay qualify for that post with demanding big big "financial management" experience. This is so obvious. Constitutions change was to reduce competition in future. Constitutions did allow ALL Chinese mp in GRC?
When Indians turn for President candidates, dun know when, Sinkies will find so many candidates. Walking around the estate,Jurong East, Bukit Batok, including condos at Marine Parade, Katong, there are more Indians. Their number seems more than Malay. When is India president to surface? Parkistan president?
Pap has messed up the original principle of Singapore in demographic composition, claimed to be its success formula by one India Minister and he insisted to ensure all blocks of HDB flat follow the ratio. What happen now is priority is set for Malay. Future will be Indian? What about Pakistan? Myanmar? Phillipino? All these are priorities. PM will be next to put in priority by race.
3 Chinese GRC in a group start to surface. Is this the original GRC concept?
The Malay community were happy and grateful to the G for wanting a Malay as the next EP.
ReplyDeleteNow it turned out that The G wants a Muslim as EP.
Will the Malay community still happy and grateful now?
Highly intelligent leaders tend to be very clever. Their cleverness usually turn to cunningness, when they become businessmen or politicians.
ReplyDeleteCunningness leads to manipulative behaviour. Manipulative behaviour over time leads to corrupt character.
Corrupt character naturally manifests itself in various ways, unable to hide from keen and observant eyes because actions speak louder than words.
The zenith of all forms of Corruption is Greed for Power for the sake of Power itself. This is the most debase characteristic of a human being. Examples of such debased humans are Alexander The Ungreat, Genghis Khan, Emperor Xi Hwang-Ti, Mohammed The Conqueror, Hitler, Emperor Hiroshito and President Harry S. Truman..

1. Is your race determined by a government committee?
2. Is your race determined by what is in your identity card?
3. Is your race determined by Mendaki or Sinda when it comes to financial assistance?
4. Related to item (2) above.
Is your race determined by your parents ... specifically what they register in your identity card when you were born?
5. If your ownself chosen "race" is not the same as what your identity card says ... then why is it called an IDENTITY card?
6. Can I ownself go and change the race in my identity card?
example: Can Tan Cheng Bock go and change his race to "Malay" in his identity card?

Some foreigner producers in Channel 8 is trying to discredit SAF. As far as real service men are concerned, using punches is a no go. But the state media is trying to promote violent act among NS men. At least to spoil the NS men image. Are army boys now so "chee hong" going for women and punch each other? Not true lah.

/// The word “Double-Think” refers to the acceptance of contrary opinions or beliefs at the same time, especially as a result of political indoctrination.
Double-think is the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts.
Double-think is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy and neutrality.
Also related is cognitive dissonance, in which contradictory beliefs cause conflict in one’s mind.
Double-think is notable due to a lack of cognitive dissonance—thus the person is completely unaware of any conflict or contradiction. ///

ReplyDeleteWho is representing Singaporeans in parliament?
1. Singaporeans don't need anyone to represent them in Parliament, because Parliament is of no use to them. Most Singaporeans don't even care what goes on in Parliament. The only one who needs representation in Parliament is the PAP.
2. For 50 years, since the PAP took power and dominated the Parliament, nobody has represented Singaporeans. All the MPs have been representing either their Bosses, their Parties or themselves.
3. Parliament is the Legislature. All the MPs are supposed to be Law-Makers. All these whiles, they have been making and amending laws and the Constitution for whose benefits? For you and I, or for PAP?
So, actually in a Dictatorship country, the Parliament is not even necessary. Just like the Erected President is also not necessary.

Now who appointed the interpretor and who buttered his bread? Would the interpretor do what he is told, or what his conscience tells him to do? So how can people like Tan Cheng Bok win, you tell me lah!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder the truth hurts so much that they have to go after Li Shengwu. But we know what is the truth, so whatever happens to him, we know why. You can't run away from the truth, except to deny it, using all means and ways to stiffle it, stuff it under the carpet, or keep it in the cupboard.
Or muddy the waters and distract the dafties using AHTC version(?) I know not.
ReplyDeleteHow can a ruling party suka suka changes the constitution in a hurry and specifies which race (Chinese, Malay, Indian, Others)to become a President? Is it not that all Singaporeans regarding of races are allowed equal opportunity to stand for any election? We are a multi-racial society. The people should choose the best person (whether Indian, Malay or Chinese) to be President and not the ruling party. By limiting the President selection to a single race (this case, Malay)which is about 30% of the population, you are depriving choices of capable candidates from the 70% of the population making up of Chinese, Indians & other races !! We were taught from school days of of regardless race, language or religion.... to build a prosperous nation... and that only the best and capable person to be our leader, etc and not based on race. Are we going to change the Constitution again in the future if it is not workable ?
ReplyDeleteNot only change constitution. Recent court ruling said Parliament has full liberty to interpret what is an elected president and when to call special election, regardless of the 5 terms provided in the con.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is Sg is lee owned one. It has also installed a fake democracy. If lee top guy wants malay or muslim or even monkey to be president, he will get what he wants. No one can change that except himself.
ReplyDeleteBetter to learn the truth now than many years later and regret not moving elsewhere .
You give the MIWs much credit. All the changes to the EP is not because they are particularly concerned about the Malay community but a smokescreen to deny someone who is guaranteed to be elected in an open contest.
