TOC 64) whose caused it? on January 12th, 2009 5.58 pm The system here is so cleverly DESIGNED such that the people can be denied many things that are rightfully theirs eg accountability and fairness in elections.
Those at the helm know the possible outcomes of such endgame scenarios when they decided to implement such a strategy.
Those who benefit under such a system will support it wholeheartedly.
Those who are disillusioned will either migrate or suffer in silence. While many families have migrated, the planners obviously know that those cannot migrate will just have to suck it up since they have been conditioned to be obedient from young.
So the possibility of resorting to violence, whilst miniscule (given our compliant society) is not unexpected. The more the people are oppressed without any feasible opening for change, the higher the chance of such events happening in future. This is the sad reality.
Those who have agreed to join in the system to reap the benefits walked in with their eyes open; It is a calculated risk.
So whilst I do not condone violence, unfortunately not everyone in this 4.8 million population will see it this way. I hope our our leaders will realise that the more they deny the people’s needs or rights by offering illusory solutions, the more they are setting themselves up for such violence. Eg vote us out if you dont like us but we’ll raise the number of candidates in GRCs anyway.
I hope our leaders can be more reasonable in the years ahead. The people are not stupid, and can see through self-serving or placebo-like policies. There is still time to change before the situations gets worse.
The ball is now in our leaders’ court.
Will they choose to continue to set themselves up for more trouble?
The "SYSTEM" is owned by the PAP. Obviously this guy had nowhere to turn to
