Actually not much diff...

 

But they do it in a LEGAL way

 

[Aimnfire]

imho

those rich and status people, high chances they will vote for pap

cause it seems their life is well protected

 

for others will still vote for pap

why

because somehow or rather fear will strike our hearts if pap lose these people will be hit badly

 

you dont believe it's fear?

if not, there wont be such thread of what's going to happen if pap lose etc etc etc

in the end these guys will vote for pap because they themselves create the fear for themselves

[Mike1234]

Isn't it wonderful to be able to said anything you want & can accuse other parties, & know you will not be sue (or at least sued & win) by the other party.

 

No, I am not talking about keyboard warriors, but our dear PAP ministers.

 

On top of that,

 

Ah Kong also got dunnoe got what act to imprision ppl up

I was attending a neighbour's late mom's funeral wake last night.

 

As we were sitting down and chatting amongst the neighbours that attended, I got the distinct feeling that most of the neighbours above 50yrs are die-hard PAPa fans. They kept relating how singapore would not be what it is today without the PAP, and when election come, they will definately vote for PAPa. It's a good party.

 

I am not sure what the demographics are, and whether a sampling of senior citizens from single block is representative of most of the senior citizen voters but I think whatever the case is, it's an uphill battle for chiam and sylvia to get a GRC foothold, even though all the Internets seem to be against the PAPaya.

 

maybe you can tell these people

you bleed and sweat so much for the country and the garmen

when you are sick and needed hospital treatment

see whether they will be compasionate about your medical bill or not

I'm 50, a few of my close friends are 50.

We understood what PAP has done.

But PAP policies today does not help the poor. It only help themselves, the rich and elites.

 

Maybe we are a small exception to the demographics, but we will surely not vote for them, given the chance to vote.

Let study a bit deeper about these 2 boleyland candidiates.

 

1) Both left Msia to study abroad because maybe the education system there

is no good.

 

2) Both of them decided not to work in Msia because they feel that the economy

and future there is also no good.

 

3)Both chose to work in S'pore beacuse they feel that S'pore is a better place to

settle down (maybe at this moment)

 

What if something happen here in Spore and if they are not elected as MP or

be future Ministar (No more Iron Rice bowl)

 

Can anyone guarantee that they wont go elsewhere?

 

[KARTer]

I see the new candidates credentials I really flipped.

Elect as MP need PHD, Scholar, Top Gun private sector job ? For what ?

So High up there their brains cannot understand the Heartland problems at meet the people sessions.

Do you need a Solid Gold Tap for a HDB flat ?

this really shows miw's selection method is 'world class'......... catering to the needs of elite, even my 10 years old nephew knows only people familiar (thru first hand experience) with life and plights of the masses can genuinely serve them........ elites will come up with stylo-milo powerpoint (figuratively speaking) to impress others and 'score points' for personal year end bonuses / increment.....

[Duckduck]

He urged voters to back the stronger team that can serve them better, and not simply for the sake of having more opposition,

I chat with my malaysia relative regarding election recently. Last election in malaysia, opp win a lot of area including his area... I ask him why he vote the opp during the last malaysia election, his reason is simply becoz they muz let the opp have a chance to try out, nv let them try how u know they gd or not, if not gd den for the next election vote the other party lo. As compare to singaporean, we r not as risk taking as them, our mindset dun like change, dun like risk, here scare, there scare, everything also scare kind of mentality.

DPM Wong Kan Seng fires salvo at the opposition

 

DEPUTY Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng fired a salvo at opposition parties on Wednesday.

 

He argued that the opposition was wanting to capture a GRC for the wrong reasons.

 

'Some say they are doing it for party renewal, some want to be the first ones to do so, but what is the election about? Is it about the ambitions of a political party or individuals to make history?' said Mr Wong, who is also Coordinating Minister for National Security, and an MP in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC.

 

He was referring to comments made by opposition leaders Low Thia Khiang of the Workers' Party and Chiam See Tong of the Singapore People's Party in recent weeks on their plans to possibly contest in a GRC.

 

What IS the election about? Well said indeed. Is election about putting up a big wayang show followed by PAP retain absolute power for another 5 years? If so, then why bother to have election? Why bother to have opposition? Why have voters? Hell why even bother to have democracy?

 

If WKS and his party have done such a swell job and the voters are happy with them, then why be concern about the motive of the oppositions?

[Sgnick]

Silly question just pop into my head.

Just for fun :

MBT. Will vote even if opp fielded Ris Low. BOOMZ!!!!

[Acemundo]

MBT. Will vote even if opp fielded Ris Low. BOOMZ!!!!

 

wow, haha i am in his constituency.

[SGCMmadman]

well do hope more MPs do care abt the heartlanders n not jus bother during election period, accompanied a family member last yr to see tampines grc mp ong kian ming coz head of household got retrenched and the family was severely financially strained n wen was her turn to see the mp in the interview room, he stood up n shook her hand n mine n listened attentively to the problem and asured my relative that her kid will definitely get a subsidy 4 his studies n told her if she n hubby need help getting a job, to approach the CDC or come to see him again, he stood up again and shook hands again wen the interview was over and asured her, he will help n true enough, within 5 days the family received a call fm CDC offering help n the kid got a subsidy. sincerely hope the bankers, lawyers n big shots care abt the man in the street whos vote places dem in parliament, too bad Mp ong kian ming is asked to retire tis time round

[Celicar]

Like what I meantioned earlier, some of the ruling party does speak on these B&B issues but when it come to voting for any bills, it will always be ALL RULING PARTY MPs versus the two oppo (present) folks if the party whip is not lifted (when was the last time it was lifted? cannot recall)

 

*sigh*

 

If my memory serves me correct, whip was last lifted for the bill about organ donation/transplant, because it touches on religious beliefs.

[Celicar]

therein lies their stupidity. the past is no guarantee for future. from a 100 to few years ago, products pushed out by lehmann brothers were also great products. but after that, turn bad over 1 year?

 

i don't think lehmann brothers turned bad over one year. it is mroe because people and authorities have turned a blind eye to their growing bad by assuming a good name in the past means they can do no wrong in the future.

 

this is also the problem with our ruling party. yes, they have done fantastic in the past, but what they have done in recent decades are already deteriorating.

 

I don't think it is about stupidity, it is about priorities. Different generations have different priorities. Putting aside PAP, we are where we are because of our parents' generation (and their priorities).
