SM Goh: Ground not so ’sweet’ for elections

The PAP regime appears to be getting ‘cold feet’ ahead of the coming general election, as admitted by Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong.

Speaking to the Singapore media in China, Mr Goh said the issue of rising costs has rendered the ground “not so sweet” for elections.

“I would not duck the issue, because politics is about people’s livelihood. Therefore, rising cost is a very big issue facing, not just Singapore, but facing every other country,” he added.

SM Goh cannot be more wrong – Singapore’s rampant inflation is created by the PAP itself when it decides to open the floodgates to foreigners indiscriminately and allow PRs to buy resale flats for investment purposes.

With public anger against the PAP regime at an all-time high, the PAP is facing its toughest election to date against a resurgent opposition boosted by several highly qualified candidates such as Singapore People Party’s Benjamin Pwee, Reform Party’s Kenneth Jeyaretnam and Singapore Democratic Party’s Dr Vincent Wjeysingha.

While many expect the PAP’s percentage of votes to drop, it remains to be seen if the opposition is able to win sufficient number of seats to deny the PAP its traditional two-thirds majority in parliament which enables it to pass bills and legislation freely at its whims and fancies with absolute ZERO accountability and transparency.
