Re: Pinky tells Koreans next Sinkeland General Elections will be abolished!

PM Lee told the media various factors would be considered before making the decision, reported The Straits Times.

Those factors included local and international events, as well as Singapore’s 50th birthday celebrations, which span the whole of next year.

When Pinky mentioned local event, he was hinting what if his Lau Cheebye dad suddenly up the lorry next year...

Yeap, Pinky will most probably unscrupulously and ruthlessly use the dead Lau Cheebye to get the sympathy votes.

On the other hand, 40% will celebrate the death of a dictator and rejoice at their good fortune. surely more will be emboldened to vote against the PAP.

I think the erection will be closer. Most likely after CNY...as more bad news are coming n oppos r only now starting to walk the ground...just my guess...

Yes, but how is that unexpected? Pinky mentioned it will be at an unexpected time. maybe 10 years from now after martial law has been lifted?

Re: Pinky tells Koreans next Sinkeland General Elections will be abolished!

The Taiwanese have voted overwhelmingly and devastatingly against the KMT in the 29-11-2014 local elections.
They have rejected corruption in KMT and collusion between the KMT Govt and Businesses.
Do Singaporeans have the balls to vote overwhelmingly and devastatingly against the PAP in the 2016 General Election ?

The Taiwanese paid for their freedom by massive demonstration against the KMT and faced death and riots on the street before they ousted the KMT. Sinkies dare to do this or not?


The Kaohsiung Incident and its Aftermath

By 1979, the opposition coalesced around three critical journals. One of these was the outspoken and widely read Formosa Magazine. Many of the opposition activists, writers, and politicians who had come to prominence over the previous decade joined the staff of this publication or contributed to it. From the beginning, Formosa was the focal point of a determined drive to create a mass movement for political and social change.

In December of 1979, Formosa organized a human rights rally in Kaohsiung which attracted tens of thousands of participants. Police surrounded and tear-gassed the crowd, forcing demonstrators to fight their way past policies lines. Provocateurs, secretly sent by the KMT insisted that the opposition had organized this "riot" as part of a violent conspiracy to overthrow the government, a claim given little credence by international human rights groups. Nevertheless, the charge served as an excuse to jail fifty prominent opposition figures -- virtually all of the active opposition leaders -- who had spoken out in favor of greater democracy and Taiwan independence. Family members of one jailed dissident were murdered under mysterious circumstances after he complained that they had undergone torture. The authorities also closed 15 magazine associated with the opposition. It was the most significant crackdown on dissent since the "2-28 Incident."

Re: DEADLY SERIOUS FIGHT: what is your interpretation?

The problem is that sycophants usually have no balls. :biggrin:

What a loaded question! Wanna hear the answers? Rid your party of those sycophants and yes-men! Hang them by their balls and confiscate their possessions, redistribute them to national coffers and the charity. Be transparent about our policies for the nation and not bulldozing it thru' up to your whims and fancies.

Re: DEADLY SERIOUS FIGHT: what is your interpretation?

A few days ago LHL a/k/a Pinky vowed that the coming GE will be a deadly serious fight [sic].

What is your interpretation of "deadly serious fight"? Please illustrate it with examples.

It is like his past statement of being unable to govern if he has to deal with opposition MPs and he has do the Opposition MPs in.

Re: DEADLY SERIOUS FIGHT: what is your interpretation?

it is the old dynastic times politics. the winner takes all, and the losers face death. it is a deadly serious fight this election, really no joke.

When AMK falls, lhl will need to consult George about life in the cold. Deadly serious ... more like a fight for survival.

Elections will be called when the timing is right: PM

PRIME Minister Lee Hsien Loong said yesterday that he would consider a range of factors in deciding when to call the next General Election (GE).
These include local issues, the state of preparation of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP), and global developments.
"If a major crisis is coming up then we have to clear that... It also depends on other agenda (items) which we are busy with," he said.
There will also be the SG50 celebrations next year to mark Singapore's Golden Jubilee of Independence.
"We will have to take all this into account and make soundings and choose the right moment, not necessarily when everybody is expecting it," he added, in remarks that suggest the polls may not be round the corner yet.
Mr Lee, the PAP secretary- general, was responding to questions from Singapore reporters at the end of his trip to attend the ASEAN-Republic of Korea commemorative summit here, a week after his remarks at the PAP rally on Sunday prompted speculation that a GE could be called soon.
But his remarks yesterday indicated that the PAP is still midway through its preparations.
"We always find the best moment to call the election but, as I said, it is not due till January 2017," he said.
"It's two years and a bit at the maximum, and we're working hard preparing for it. When we're ready we will call (it), as soon as we're ready," he added.
Mr Lee said PAP members were in good spirits, with old stalwarts "still as determined to fight as ever", and many younger members who have decided to participate.
"If you want Singapore to do well, you have to do something about it... not just typing on a feedback forum or some blog, but... making things happen. I think we have that spirit in the party."
Mr Lee also said party activists were doing more to reach out to groups that did not take part in traditional grassroots activities.
He cited how in recent years, they had been meeting people from animal welfare, environmental and arts groups "much more than before".
"We have to be there with all these different groups and connecting with them in their language on issues which are important to them."
Many MPs and ministers are also engaging different segments of the community, he added, citing clan and Chinese cultural groups. "Our society is strong when you have criss-crossing, overlapping networks; somehow or other you are part of this community and part of Singapore," he said.
As for who will be the next chief of the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), Mr Lee said it would be made known "before the end of next year".
NTUC chief Lim Swee Say has said that he will step down as labour chief when he turns 62, which will be in July 2016.
Mr Lim, however, added that he would continue as an MP of East Coast GRC and wanted to contest there in the next election.
PM Lee said a number of young ministers have been involved with the NTUC, getting an understanding of the union movement and how important it was.
Citing four Cabinet ministers - Mr Chan Chun Sing, Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, Mr Heng Swee Keat and Mr Lawrence Wong - he said they have kept up their ties with the labour movement.
"We have some ideas on developing and strengthening NTUC, and you will know within a few months," he added.
Speaking to Singapore media, PM Lee also touched on talks for an air services agreement between Singapore and South Korea.
There has been no breakthrough in the talks, he said.

the electoral map is not ready, the gerrymandering is not completed yet. when the map is ready, the PAP always hold the election within 6 months.
