1) Re-building the Party that reflects Singapore - (a) to draw in more people from various vocations and background. (b) bring in better educated and professionally qualified people (c) bring in better qualified minority members and treat them as equals perception wise.
The present set-up and after 2 decades is that it is sino-centric, blue coloured (like their blue unifrom which is the original intention) and nothing more. The reality is blue coloured jobs are now with FTs and not with Singaporeans. A re-branding may be necessary. The minoritiy issue should need no further elaboration after the Indian / Malay epsiodes recently.
2) Significant increase in Parliamentary Performance - it certainly cannot continue the way they have done so. After 20 years, one would have expected something similar to a debate occasionally. No such luck.
(a) Policy Making - Despite stating that they are not ready to form alternative govt, they spend their time re-writing policies or crafting their own policies. They don't have the competence and certainly no resources to do so. In the end they end up in situations like their salary proposal that was close to what the review committee suggested and not what Singaporeans wanted. It was a debacle.
(b) Philosophy - Parliament is not the place for philosophy lessons. I have no idea how they came to this. Maybe during elections hustings. Parliament give limited speech time, so lets maximise it.
(c) Co-driver accountability - this was never done despite making this a campaign tagline in 2011. What has WP in 20 years objected to? Chiam, JBJ, Steve Chia seem to have got into PAP face. If I was wanking for the last 20 years waiting for fireworks of some sort, my dick would have dropped out by now and calcified.
WP needs to realise that working the ground is to get votes only. Municipal or town council activities are also just that - municipal activities. Nothing to do with Parliament in the main. Members of Parliament who credit themselves with the cleanest town council, best managed town council, town councils that meets people needs are analogus to a Medical Doctor who is known for his work in members association functions and not in the field of medicine which is the primary function.
WP will continue to wear tags like PAPlite, PAP Apologists, PAP Team B etc. They will end up no different to Temasek who claim that their outlook is long term everytime a business goes under. After 20 years, I reckon, something has to give.
