Protest at Hong Lim on 1 May -updated

Might be due to lack of statesmanship. Statesmanship is defined as below: 1. a political leader whose wisdom, integrity, etc, win great respect 2. a person active and influential in the formulation of high government policy, such as a cabinet member Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/statesmanship

and that is why i believe the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Affairs was created. Somehow, he knew there is a lack of statesmanship among the pool of candidates or MPs, so, he had this school created. unfortunately, it will be some time (years???) b4 one will stand out

That is a very good question.
The problem is PAP is not able to attract people from the private sector to join them.
The one in the first pic should just get the hell out of Singapore and disappear from the political scene here.

ESM Goh on Hong Lim Park protest
'Speakers too political, one-sided, emotional'
HAPPY that people are debating the population issue, but unimpressed by the rhetoric of the speakers.
That was the reaction from Emeritus Senior Minister (ESM) Goh Chok Tong (right), when asked on Facebook what he thought of the protest at Hong Lim Park against the population White Paper.
Mr Goh wrote: "I was happy that Speakers' Corner is serving its purpose. Also pleased that Singaporean are debating this population issue because it is about our future. But our future goes beyond just population figures."
He added: "Cannot say that I think much of speakers' rhetoric. Too political, too one-sided, appealing to emotions only and not shedding light on important issues."
A crowd, variously estimated to be anything between 1,000 and 5,000 had gathered on Saturday evening to listen to 12 speakers, including opposition figures.
They rejected bringing in more foreigners to sustain economic growth, and argued that Singaporeans should have been consulted more widely on the White Paper.
Though some spoke out against xenophobia, most said they feared Singapore will no longer be home for Singaporeans and that the infrastructure cannot cope even with the current population, let alone 6.9 million.
Drawing loud cheers at the end, former presidential candidate Tan Jee Say accused the ruling People's Action Party of bringing in new citizens to shore up its share of votes.

Need to find a speaker(s) with a lawyer's rigor and a statemen's breadth of view.

I think the PAP state media is too one sided on the population issue. Their line is the PAP party line. There is no opposition line.
Speakers too political, one-sided, emotional'
Now I know why Singaporeans least emotional in the world. Because the mother fucking PAP disapproves of Singaporeans having emotions.
By the way that bastard Goh Chok Tong is hokkien, how come he obey that peranakan bastard Harry Lee Kuan Yew to suppress chinese dialects? I wanted to ask this question for a long time already.

Goh Chok Tong, your lee hsien loong pinky is too extremely one sided, political to get the increase in population to further pinky's money kingdom.
Just keep silent if you have nothing good to bring to improve the life of Singaporeans.
Just bunch of greedy evils into self serving at the expense of the born and bred citizens. None in PAP is fit to serve the nation.

i never quote dalforce's post on 280 feb 13. i undersatnd sometimes get very emotional (whihc i can see we are) post will come with very strong words.
but i think we can have cut some slack on the enthic terms.
maybe if fstop 2 no longer around GCT will not polish apple too hard.
they should have a feel of what its like to be one sidede.
let some opposition in to parliment asap enough to stop them pushing policies forward without much scrutiny, just like tasting theiur own medicine on the competition we facing with foreign cheap labors on the ground.

Punggol SMC 54% voted for PAP in 2011. WP won by 54% in 2013.
PAP has lost votes in the past, they are losing votes now and they will continue to lose votes in the future.
There will be no increase of PAP votes in the future.

Will there be anarchy in Sg?

THESE PEOPLE ARE REAL STUPIG. only when you change for us then we vote you. yo never change why vote for you? lift upgrading lah, not enuff facilities lah, these are state problems, not constitunecy problems . we move forward as a nationa s a country. whcih constituency shor of what gahmen should supply. not use it as abait so election vote them they will fix the problem.
please sgreans wake up. as for those who fear a suddent change of gahmen, my '40' percent forumal surely work. in fact using my formula and take out GE2011's results. we know roughly how GE2016 results can be like. thenw e fix the shortfall or finestune so that save number of oppositions can be in parliament.
