Civicblade 2nd Gear March 27, 2011 Share March 27, 2011 Hi Park88, Totally agree with you. NS, especially chiong suah unit type, is the common bonding experience that most Singapore males had gone through. To see a 38 year old new citizen of 2 years catapult into parliament through the severly flawed GRC backdoor system mades me want to throw up! That new citizen is never going to enter parliament this way. Singaporeans, please make sure that he and his master minister head of the GRC gets the boot. The truth is, Singapore will do just fine without the million dollar PAP man in charge. The Singapore system is well oiled to run just fine whoever the government is, as long as the government is not too low standard type. We are seeing more capable people joining the opposition. If Singaporean sees that their own people are willing to give opposition a chance, more capable and committed people will stand up and be counted. So let us Singaporeans do our part and give the opposition a chance and give yourself alternative voices in running the country. i beg to differ from you because you think as if it is in another country and does not involve you anybody in parliament today is because you and I voted them in whatever tactics any party used it is still up to us whether we believe in them or not and ultimately which person gets into parliament is because of you and me hence we have to stop behaving like it is not our problem and yet we complain like there is no heaven or earth one issue that I cannot tahan is is that i did my NS sustained spine injury cannot claim paid my own medical expenses still do my reservist despite injury because I cannot get a PES C or E for my job nature then some malaysian becoming new citizen just after two years suddenly not only no need to do NS but become MP via the backdoor GRC method then he said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkingidiot 1st Gear March 27, 2011 Share March 27, 2011 the most important perspective to keep in mind: watever u decide will affect n haunt u for the next 4-5 years....so if u make ur choice, u will have to live with it!!! Bro Timex is right... except he underestimates the length of time that we have to live with the choice... whatever we decide will affect/haunt us for next 20-30yrs... A) if the papaya does a clean sweep AGAIN... they WILL consolidate and ensure there'll be sufficient brainwashed new citiziens to vote for them for the next generation at least. B) If the OP wins several seats, there is no way the papaya can deny ALL the opposition constituencies due amenities/upgrading, as the money belongs to all singapore, and not just papaya constituencies - there'll be a revolt if they try that trick. When people see that even OP wards still get the amenities despite not being papaya, more constituencies will fall to OP like dominoes in the following elections to come. Only then will there be a balance in the FORCE. Whatever the decision... it will affect us at least till the next generation of singaporeans grow up...

Park88 1st Gear March 27, 2011 Share March 27, 2011 it is not so much about ruling party or opposition but the basic principle is highly questionable for Janil Puthucheary, Straits Times, 22 March 2011, who is from Malaysia the land that gave him so much that enable him to be a doctor instead of going back to Malaysia to serve the many poor people in Malaysia who are truly in need HE JUMP SHIP (to Singapore) where is his loyalty hence, do we want a country that all we think about is just making more and more money at the expense of everything else therefore, teach me, how I can talk my way to a multi-million dollar job, please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gendut 2nd Gear March 27, 2011 Share March 27, 2011 They can use whatever tactic, strategy, threats, coercion, $$...... After all the sub-par performance by WKS, MBT, Yaacob, and many more. Worst of all the head got no balls to sack these underperformers but in some cases promote them instead. I think that is the biggest mistake of all. My family's votes don't go to them. Period.
