many people keep mentioning this...........
if you are given a chance to built your foundation in political for almost 50 years, will you allowed to be replace by, Election?
so peacefully can get rid of you
We will not say replace it completely, we only want a better voice for ourselves, currently what the govt is doing is still below expectation,
housing is still high and getting higher
cost of living is at all time high
Foreign is still coming, govt admitted it, but they said, at a comfortable rate
And they wanted to accomodate 6million
Then they tried to be transparent by exposing those sex scandals here and there, and get a few guinea pigs to be put on the slaughter board so as to please the pleasants. All these could had been going on for the past 40years of the rule until the recent election.
So now they turn around and have more regular dialogues session with all walk of life, make you so involved and happy about it,..but still they make the final decision, they still can change the chief justice, the bills and the taxation as and when they like.
$1000 income can buy HDB?
Singapore can accomdate 6 million peoples?
HDB housing going for millions in resales?
LKY just said, we still need foreigners, we still welcome them and wanted them, but at a more comfortable pace so as to please the Singaporeans.
Well, we can also said, we still need opposition, we still welcome opposition and wanted them, but at a more comfortable pace of changing so as not to change it completely overnite.
Thing we should ask ourselves is then, since the historical events of opposition wining a GRC, not to mention of what the opposition had done, but rather, what changes do you find in our govt policies and the way of their action? If you think, now is better, they listen more to you, they consult before given executives order, they do more for you, then ask yourself, what if opposition won 2 GRCs?
