Cute xiaomeimei says voting opp may not change anything

Are you leading the change?
She's a smart girl. I agree with her wholeheartedly.
Anyone who thinks voting the PAP out in 2016 will solve all of Singapore's problems is either extremely naive or very dumb.
Anybody but the PAP.
It took the PAP 2 decades to mess things up ...the new government will take at least as long to fix it. More importantly, it will be the start to end the rut.
This Rachel Zeng was with the SDP during year 2000 plus, I remember she had one Indian boyfriend back then.
It will be the beginning of an even deeper rut. While PAP's policies may not be popular, they are rational, prudent and necessary.
Singapore would have become irrelevant a long time ago had it not been for the influx of new blood that has renewed the vitality of the nation.
If you go back more than a century you'll find that the initial wave of Chinese pioneers did exactly the same thing for the country. Imagine what Singapore would be like now if the Malays had been in charge all along. The grandest building in Singapore would be a mosque.
However, thanks to the Pioneers, we have a skyline that is the envy of the world. The new arrivals are going to make it even better.
She is right. Human rights cannot be improved through the ballot box, at least not in Singapore. Perhaps it is important to her, but certainly it is not the foremost issue of the day amongst regular voters. Try talking to some uncle at the kopitiam about human rights. Overcrowding, loss of jobs, higher living costs, transport breakdown, healthcare, etc all rank higher on their minds compared to some higher minded altruism. If she could understand that and put the needs of others over their own goals, she may get the support she needs in parliament. But noOoOoOo... if i don't support abolishing the death penalty, you will find someone else. How typical! I want nothing to do with such people.
So ur a knowledging that Singapore has problems that PAP is currently not solving or can't solve.
Of course Singapore has unsolved problems. No country is perfect and no government can work miracles.
However, the PAP has managed against all odds to make Singapore a resounding success by any measure.
In that case why can't we have any government?it doesn't matter who runs the country since every country has problems that can't be solved.at least we have a government with sense of morality and doesn't exploit and suck and fuck it's people so much.
Because with the PAP in charge, the country's problems are not major and all bread and butter issues are well taken care of.
Without the PAP, bread and butter issues would come to the forefront. Unemployment would rise, median incomes would fall and everyone would end up far worse off.
If the Taliban were in charge, Islamic laws would be imposed on ALL Singaporeans. Be careful what you wish for.
how u know it wouldnt be better?we might even achieve the true swiss standard of living or at least close to australia.
Singapore has a better standard of living than Australia.
It's all here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita
just ask devan nair. pap wud even pay his pension despite everything, in the end he has to live off the pension from his ex post as MP in malaysia.
is that any better?
With the Taliban in charge, 50% of Singapore's population would not be allowed to gain an education. Pensions would be the least of your problems.
i am so bloody glad this isn't the exact sentiments from all the other xmm i spoke with :o:o:o
