NO,
not true. The masses do not choose their government. This is a
deliberately planted myth that the power-grabber wants you to believe.
Even in America, the Average Americans do not choose those who rule the country.
Democracy is still just a dream.
Voting
alone does not represent Democracy. In a true Democracy, the People
tells those who run the country what to do. Not the other way around.
The elected political hacks are servants of the people, not rulers. They
are to serve the people sincerely and wholeheartedly, without personal
feelings and idiosyncrasies involved, to the best of their abilities.
Voting results can be easily manipulated. They are always manipulated in one way or another. In one form or another.
Singapore
is not a democratic country. Singapore is a true and through
dictatorship masquerading as a parliamentary democracy. It tries very
hard to to put up a false facet or semblance of democracy, just to fool
the gullible.
In a truly functioning Democracy, the democratic
institutions are more powerful than the government of the day. These
institutions ensure that the people in government truly serve the people
instead of themselves. In Singapore, the democratic institutions are
either non-existent, devoid of democratic aspirations or play-acting to
conform with the will of the elites instead of the people.
In
Singapore, the ruling class serve themselves, their own party, and their
personal interests, instead of the people's interests, instead of
national interests. They project the idea that the national interests
are their interests but it has always been the other way around. Their
interests take priority over national and people's interests, without
fail.
The recent, lightning, blitzkrieg, brief parliamentary
debate to hurry through the passage of the FICA Law, to give the ruling
class widespread and deeper power, is a clear and undeniable example of a
functioning dictatorship at work.
The PAP's WHIP, that forced
and ensure all PAP MPs vote in unison in one voice, is the give-away
that Singapore is a totalitarian dictatorship, without an iota of doubt.
The dictatorship of one man, not one party.
That one man is called The WHIP, which is under the direct command and control of and by the Prime Minister.
Even
the so-called Elected President is under the indirect command and
control of the Prime Minister by proxy, through the hands of the
Presidential Advisers nominated by the Prime Minister.
In Singapore, the Prime Minister calls ALL the shots, not the Cabinet.
The
Cabinet is put up to give legitimacy to the Dictatorship of the Prime
Minister. The Prime Minister leads the Cabinet and the Central Executive
Committee of PAP.
In Singapore's context, ALL POWERS, legal or
otherwise, are vested only, solely, singularly and undividedly in one
person - THE PRIME MINISTER, the unchanged and unfettered DICTATOR!
AND
the most telling of all is that he is also the one who appraise and
decide on the jobs, the pays, the bonuses, the promotions and even the
when to go on leave for all the Ministers, MPs and Top Civil Servants.
So, stop thinking and saying that the people choose their government. This is totally a myth!

The Myth That It Is The People Who Choose Their Government

Comment below a recent FT article on Singapore:
"As a resident for many years, Singapore has totally lost its marbles. What began with the Government scaring the population into even greater obedience has evolved into a nationalistic paranoia bordering on terror that will have lasting negative economic and social consequences. The Government has succeeded in terrifying the population to the extent that, as noted, many do not want to return to normal life.
Foreigners are now seen as sponges. The economic benefits of globalisation that have propelled Singapore from a tropical outpost to a global financial centre have been swiftly forgotten. A new wave of fervently pro-Singaporean politicians are intent on purging foreign talent in the belief that Singaporeans will immediately assume the top jobs. However, ask anyway who lives here, and it is a fallacy.
Singapore's education system excels at producing high IQ, no EQ talent focused on compliance and following a rules-based approach. When combined with global creativity, innovation and capital, the combination is highly successful. But ask any hiring manager, and Singaporeans are simply not applying for roles requiring 'outside the box' strategic thinking. Jobs are moving elsewhere.
The irony of course, is Singaporeans expect access to cheap overseas maids to do the chores, and south Asian workers to fill in potholes. Many are angry that building and infrastructure tasks are taking too long at the moment, but are fed up of foreign workers and want them gone. The irony is lost on them. I have never once met a Singaporean construction worker.
More damagingly, appetite to live here has disappeared - shown by a 4% dip in population figures in one year. Next year will be even worse as expats have time to arrange jobs overseas.
Singapore has always had as much culture as an airport terminal bar - but its regional connectivity and relatively low tax rate made the balance bearable. However, life in the golden cage is no longer an amenable blend: you may work here, but you cannot visit families overseas, we openly don't want you, and if you do leave we may change the rules at any point and you will be stuck outside for months. I know over a dozen perfectly sensible, non-hysterical families who have left. I haven't been home in two years, so one sympathises.
Singapore has not yet reached the tipping point. But it is mightily close, much more so than it realises. One can only hope Singapore gets some political leadership, and wakes up to the paranoid reality it has created. I am leaving next year to return to London, bored of simply existing. I fear I will not be alone."

Well written and clearly laid out. Very true and to the point.
After all the bashing, the silly buggers that brought plane loads of rubbish here are recognising the pain they are causing to the Singaporeans. If they stubbornly refused to change course, they would be voted out very soon.
The Singaporeans are very angry, and many in hard times due to the sickening policy of praising fakes and cheats as talents at the expense of Singaporeans.
Can't believe that they had replaced so many Singaporeans in good jobs with fakes and cheats. This is a crime against Singaporeans.
The FT's comment is of someone thinking too highly of FTs. Singapore does not need the FTs in this kind of silly numbers. The FTs needed Singapore to get a decent job. 90% of them would not be able to get a job that pays them half of what they are getting here. They might not even get a job, unemployed without the jobs in Singapore.
The cheap little companies that relocated here from third world countries are benefiting from Singapore's connectivity and brand. On their own, in their third world countries, they would be like the little toddy shops in the villages, clueless and unable to connect to the world. Where do they think they can move to other than their little villages? No countries would accept them, not in any Asean country or in the West. They would be hung high and dry.
They can all leave Singapore, the so called FTs and the little third world companies. It would be good riddance. The only people in Singapore that would miss them would be the imbeciles.
Please go, please go, hurry, go. Singapore would not miss them or miss a beat without them.
What have the little companies and fake FTs contributed here other than buying some properties or contributing to the rents of unproductive landlords? Oh, they have created jobs for Grab drivers and hawkers.
Again, for the fake FTs, they will be lucky to land a job out of their home countries or in their home countries.
Singapore's is unbearable? Third world countries more bearable? What a joke? No appetite to live here? Where else is better?
Singaporeans are celebrating the drop in population, esp foreigners.
Agree, the clueless leadership bluffing the Singaporeans to accept the paranoid reality that Singapore needs so many foreigners to create jobs for Singaporeans.
Why is there a need to employ a foreigner to be a local branch bank manager serving the local clients? Can't find a Singaporean to fill such a position?
In conclusion,Outsider feels sorry seeing many sg do cleaners, grab,taxi,deliveries jobs.young one's doing non skilled.
ALL WAITING TO GET COVID.
We don't need fakes and cheats. Neither do we need FTs who think they are God's gift to Singapore.
