PAP is doing extremely well FOR THEMSELVES,Singapore is like a oasis for them,a paradise.Nowhere in the world can u find a country where u can do whatever you whenever u want,freely and without constrain and almost without consequences.Outside in the world,u have to deal with something inconvenient called REALITY.theres laws in your way,bill of rights,constitutions,theres anti trust laws,anti monopoly laws,theres pesky media dogging you every step of the way,freedom of speech,journalists and paparazzis hounding you,bashing you,criticizing you,printing inconvenient truths,out there theres labour laws,union rights,theres strikes and protests and mass demonstrations and marches.every conceivable cog and mechanism in society working and spinning to ensure that the outcome is fair and the playing field is even.all of it serves as a unbreakable bond,a constraint of the power the government has over the people.
but not singapore,where the media is on PAP's side,the military,the law,the courts,the judiciary system,the parliament,the unions.i cannot imagine a country in the world where the government has it better.
