For 18 years, most constituencies observed walkover wins for the PAP. However, for the first time today, 47 different candidates have been eligible to contest in the upcoming election; an outright denial of a direct majority! This is the start of a democratic movement enabling the establishment of a viable opposition, and it is ultimately up to the electorates to ensure its viability.
Untill today, the PAP continues to maintain the authority to persecute dissent with the highest price and humiliation. However, the opposition parties have put up with the legalities and continue to exist and protest for the betterment of Singapore and Singaporeans. Today, you're aware of such issues surrounding NKF, HDB, CPF, NTUC, etc.. as a consequence of these opposition parties. You're aware of the democractic ideals (freedom of speech, civil liberty, etc) and your rights to attaining these because the opposition parties continue to exercise their democratic obligations. You're aware of price hikes without public consultations, manipulation of economic and census statistics and so on, because the opposition parties shed light into these. Today, we know more about Singapore and have the courage to talk up to PAP because the opposition parties have paved the way for us.
We owe it to these individuals who have dared to make a stand in a society proned to curb individual opinion. We're obligated to fight for justice. We're obligated to end the totalitarian rule that has stripped us of our dignity and respect. We deserve a balanced government that is comprised of all the political parties, that is accountable, transparent and representative of Singaporeans.
On May 6th, please give a chance to the opposition parties. Vote SDP! Vote WP! Vote SDA! Vote Opposition!
We're aware that the PAP has already won a number of seats prior to the election date as a result of walkover 'victories', and perhaps stand a chance to gain a majority government. So why should we bother to vote? It is because Singaporeans deserve to be representated at the parliament by parties which will raise the issues concerning us; even if these individuals lack in numbers. Furthermore, this is merely a start: if the opposition win a few constituencies tommorow, you can be sure they will step up their campaigns further in the future. This is a progressive movement, and the electorates hold the key to its development!
The opposition has moved me from the me ,you have us with you passion and love for nation Singapore.Singapore belongs Singaporeans.We should not allow one political party to own our beloved nation.What is the values do we want top pass on to the next generations.Do we need to make threats to sue,calling others liars ,questioning the heart and motives of men when it is only God you will know this.MONEY politics etc.We must not be deceived by leaders who lead in deception.The attacks on the opposition is attacks on the people .Opposition leaders are Singaporeans and they have a role to play.We must vote in the best person.This person must have high moral values too.With the entry of CASINO I am sorry to say that the ruling party has no longer the high moral standing as before.We must make a stand and put a stop to this. Vote in people who will represent the people.My prayers for all Singaporeans to be wise and to see beyond Progess Pcakage ,the 80 million or 100 million and other freebies but to see the need to have honest,competent opposition members in Parliment.
ReplyDeleteNow is the Hour.Tell your friends and relatives ,Vote for the good people in the Oppositions.
Finally let us pray that God will make the final choice and the place the leaders who are best for Singapore even if it means the ruling party.
P_P give u a chicken wing, later they will want back a whole chicken! in terms of hike in gst, transport, road tax, petrol, education, electricity & water bill . . . we will all die man!
ReplyDeleteHow did Singapore rank as being economically free when you are not allowed to use your Medisave and CPF?
ReplyDeleteA group of monkeys counting the PEANUTs & BANANAS for the next 5 years.
ReplyDeleteOne junior monkey says: Don't worry we'll have another 5 years of PEANUTS and BANANAs. The pigs are stupid. They never learn and have ultra short memory and high tolerence for pain. Most importantly they are stupid enough to fall for free food in return for their meaty ass.
The Old monkey King said: Becareful with what you say and where you say lt. You are jeapardising our future you know. The more educated pigs now can think, so we must bribe them with better quality of food and well being, before we slaughter them for our long term goal --- More PEANUTS and BANANAS for us, our generations after. So watch your tongue, talk less and put on your SMILE more. As long as see your smile, they'll forget their pain and focus on the high octane food we serve them. That's where the BANANAs are.
You say I WaYang Party.
ReplyDeleteI say you Puppets Acting Party.
Puppets, more puppets. What good will the puppets do our society if they only move in the directions of the backstage old man.
People wants option, NOT a Fake posing as option.
People wants MPs who are interested and can really solve the peoples' problems; not those high handed Well Educated, high profile corporate figures that are good for image and looks but not interested to solve the daily problem the residents are facing!!!
Dun tell me how GaRang you in are in your corporate world, show us you are sincere to serve the community EVEN if you were not elected as a MP this time.
Dun tell me that I did not vote for you the last time when I ask you to help solve my problem. Show me you are sincere and able to solve problem unconditionally.
Only businessman do trading, Real Political Leaders SERVE.
Dun push me to accept you just because you have been there for 5 ~6 years, cos there are people whom have been serving us quietly without compliant for the past 22 years.
Dun put the opposition at the same platform as the Ministers. As the ministers have their respective responsibility and nothing to brad about. The oppositions can enter the parliament and serve. If they prove their abilities, the people will want them to be the ministers. Then you can compare an apple with an apple, not LuLian with Ang Moh Tan.
Look at it this way. The PAP gave out $$$ to each and everyone of us just before the elections. Be it whatever the results turn out to be, slowly by slowly it will all, or more be taken away....
ReplyDeleteIt's not about the opposition to completely take over totally the reins, but more of having a group of people to stand in parliament to voice out for the people.
Another thing is the call to opposition to take on GRC rather than SMC... Well, my question is why don't some of the PAP 'big guns' come out of their GRCs that they were sitting safely on for past decades and take on big oppositions if they are really keen on helping the people of that ward rather than having someone of lesser known to try their luck? And once having known that their GRCs has already won with a walkover, then they start to come and help the lesser known PAP candidates?
And what about the parasites (new PAP candidates) riding on with the GRCs that were not contested? We have got no idea whatsoever if they are really capable.... What, they are going to say things like, well, i'm not contested but let me show you what I can do for you. Yes, I agree, but it'll be just a so-so thing to make everyone in that ward happy that something had been done till the next election and if they are still uncontested, it will be the same thing again and again.....
Well said, everyone. I used to think I'm living in a country where no one cared, but after visiting this forum, I am really impressed about the quality of people Singapore possesses.
ReplyDeleteThank you to the person who created this forum, and to everyone else who have contributed.
I appeal to keep this forum going even after the election, regardless of the results.
God bless you!
Kt, you're soooo obviously a infiltrate...
ReplyDeletekt can continue to pay for the ministers' million dollar pay while the rest of singapore can vote that million dollar ministers out.
ReplyDeletei say vote in favour for the oppositions!
Vote for Opposition! It's time for change!
ReplyDeleteeven if the oppositons form the government tomorrow, i believe life will still go on as usual, this new government will have 37 pap opposition members to check on them and hold them accountable to us.
ReplyDeleteIf on the other hand, the oppositions win more than ten seats, we will have additional insurance to ensure that they, the pap will not start increasing prices of our basic necessities immediately and raise their own salaries as and when they want.
during the last election, they were talks about the oil price hike, but fell on death ears, what did the pap do during these five years to tackle the energy prices? the talented solutions offered were asking the people to pay more for it because this thing is an international issue.
to the anonymous who posted at 3:31PM SGT:
ReplyDeletePAP contesting for 84seats got 37seats (walk-overs)
SDA contesting for 20seats
SDP contesting for 7seats
WP contesting for 20seats
you seriously think the APs will be able to form the govt.? even if all contested seats are won by oppostion, do you see the possibilities of a coalition AP govt.?
the current situation is to make the parliament more vibrant with more voices from the members of APs
short-term goal: get more APs into the parliament so that voices from the "new poor" can be heard (and not ignored)
mid-term goal: make the million-dollar-minister earn their keeps
long-term goal: make life easier for all by re-distribution of wealth
???Why???
ReplyDelete- Goal; Swiss Standard of Living by 2000-PAP
- HIGH HDB Prices; 3 rm resale; 1993*=35k, 1995*=75k, 1998*=150k ??? *aprox
- IMPORTANT TO KNOW; Our CPF minus HIGH HDB Prices = Our $$$$ from Our CPF goes to GOVT?
- Why??? Low construction cost Plus HIGH Land Cost? = HIGH HDB Prices
- BUT Land is State Land belong to people, - Why??? need to pay HIGH PRICE
- We no money for Childrens Education, Healthcare & Retirement
- HIGH HDB Prices = HIGH Mortgage = Money not enough = Work till u die, Why???
- Not enough workers,
- Why??? Enforce 2 Child Family for 20 years-PAP, Now 25% PRs, Soon 40%, 10yrs 70% ?
- HIGH HDB Prices = Husband+Wife MUST WORK = No time for children, brought up by maid
- HIGH HDB Prices = No spending money = Poor local economy
- HIGH HDB Prices = Need $ to pay = Lose jobs to Thailand, Malaysia... soon China, India
- HIGH HDB Prices = Working Harder = Growing Older = Pay lower/No Job
- HIGH HDB Prices = No Healthcare$ = High Cost of Living = No Quality of Life
Why???
PAP Good but NOT PERFECT, Need Heros and Heroines to Check on them...
My sincere heartfelt THANKS to Heros and Heroines in Hougang, P Pasir... WP,SDA,SDP
Sorry have to work overtime to support my family... sad but true! Why???
shame n u guys who support the oppositions. Singapore goverment is doing a very good job and that includes giving u guys GOOD and first class education which surpass malaysia and indonesia. But u have used it back on the PAP and supports the oppostitions. Try handing SG to them and see what our future will be? Our future kids will suffer to no end with an uncultured goverment!
ReplyDeleteI will definately support PAP, they have doe very well for Singapore and we can see the results. No way i will risk voting for opposition party and risk ruining SG and my life. You will not know what they might do to Singapore from the uncultured way they talk in front of the media.
ReplyDeleteTo those PAP supporters who have posted, nobody is asking you to let the opposition have all say in running the island!!!! Have you not been following the news or you are just too blind by your totally die-hard patriotic spirit to PAP? Didn't you see the thirty (dirty) over walkover seats that they have already grabbed?
ReplyDeleteThe person who claimed to have been given first class education cannot even spell 'goverNment' correctly! Is this how first class you are showing to all?
Uncultured speech from who? The opposition? Did they? I believe the one who commented this did not even follow news reports.
Earlier on some first class PAP supporter claimed that supporters were staying at home watching rally (speeches made by PAP) that was why PAP supporters were not as many as the oppositions. How supportive you are, when your supposed leader is out there, you are comfortably at home. How interesting! Great moral support you have bestowed your supposed-leader with!
Yes, they have done so well that some people can afford to have gold (plated?) taps!!!! Very well indeed!
To Die-hard patriots to PAP:
ReplyDeleteDream on that one day you will take over the big brothers and enjoy the yearly million dollar pay cheque.
Dream on to be the next SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN.
You just wait and take a queue no. but may be if you are lucky you might stand a chance who knows.
cos there are so many ppl of your same pattern "Gian Peng"(hungry for rice, "Tao Cheng Gia, Hou Beh Teh"(Walk in front, follow behind - lackies)
Stick your tongue out may be you'll be able to catch some crumps from the big brothers.
Why so anxious about having different voices? Why must all sing your tune? Wear your sarong? Blow your trumpet????
