if PAP lose in 2016 would they hand over gracefully?

[enterprise2]

election lose mean lose lah. pap will hand over power. no need to call in the Army to usurp power. they can make a comeback at the next GE.

regarding the PAP cronies and associates ( people and organizations ). : will they switch sides toward the new ruling party or they will choose to stand by the PAP at least for the next five years ? that is an interesting and tough decision to make.

Their behaviour in the AIM saga do not give me great confidence they will hand over power GraceFooly!

These low-bred scums (crumbs pickers) will desert the PAP in droves and run into the hands of the victors.

If the victors accept them that would be their greatest folly.

Those were the days gone by when Barisan Socialis supporters crossed over to PAP.

Today we have sons of ex-Barisan Socialis people (even those detained) as full-time MPs with the PAP.

Only the Japanese invaders in Singapore knew how to eliminate such people.

Those who were earlier sucking the #@%& of the British.

singapore will continue to survive nevertheless....

No doubt about it. But what will the President do? Endorse the new government, right? That is his statutory duty. What else is there? Take over the Government? Announce the results as invalid?

 

[Confuseous]

I wonder what will the President do if there is a freak result?

He should be experienced enough to handle it - he won by a freak result.

24 years ago, I didn't think that there would be an African American President in the US, a Japanese president in Peru, a woman president in ROK or BN would lose its 2/3 majority.

last 1 stil haven happened ...

Extremists Are Harder To Find

In the light of the AIM affair, I think they would......

I think they would rather see Singapore go down than to cede power........ What can we do?

Would the SPF and the SAF move in to protect Singapore from the PAP's destruction of public properties?

"if" is a hypothesis, not history.

I have already told some people here that they have to be READY. And if one hesitates, one will miss the chance to take the advantage of a situation. There was placard that says, "REAL MEN DON'T RAPE" He need to face the reality that real men rape. It was scientifically proven. Sux, rite ?

The unwillingness to face the reality that PAP is using you and to believe that it is a bad party is the first obstacle. Pretending that the issue doesn't not exist and you have something else more important to do is the second obstacle. Having the anger but not willing to fight is your last obstacle.

Conqueror has tested this in other places and a few more have agreed to my extreme way.

I don't really have any high hopes of the PAP losing power in 2016..

There're many factors..

Oppo disunity, the extreme daftness of the 60%, the strong grip of control that the PAP have on the Media, their countless network of Por Lumpars and the ever increasing influx of the new shitizens in this country..

If the Oppo can obtain 4 GRCs in 2016, I'll already be happy liao..

With the present president in office, he would gleefoolee declare martial law immediately!

focus! get rid of their 2/3 majority first. homo sapiens don't have a penchant for sudden change.

 

[jw5]

1. They won't lose.
2. They don't understand the meaning of gracefully. Forgive them, it's an inherited trait.

Lee Kuan Yew famously said in 2006 that they would be prepared to call in the army if “freak election” results ever occurs. If any popular uprising occurs in Singapore, the only question is whether the SAF’s and the Police Force’s citizen-conscripts would take up arms and obey orders to crush the revolt (and their own citizens) or turn against the regime. It’s perhaps this which explains why many netizens feel that, just as it occurred in Iran, it would take a volunteer force commanded by the government such as the Gurkhas to stifle and and stamp down any mass demonstrations in Singapore.

LOL, how to have the PAP unseated unless those 60.1% have suddenly become smarter. But being daft Sinkies, I doubt so.

 

[Vigilante]

if PAP lose in 2016 would they hand over gracefully?

Will the PAP scuttle Singapore if they realise they would lose the General Elections?

Will they sabotage everything in a scorch earth policy... destroy all computer systems, burn records, dishonour contracts, or ever turn to unconstitutional means to retain power?

all the PAP dogs will charter a plane out of here first thing cos they know that its PAYBACK time.

elected president... reminds me of...




Ong was diagnosed with cancer of the lymphatic system in 1992. He became Singapore's first elected President a year later, and it was a presidency marked by many charitable projects (the largest of which is the President's Star Charity, an annual event initiated by Ong). Ong stepped down as President at the age of 63.[4] Ong ran for the presidency under the PAP's endorsement. He ran against a reluctant Chua Kim Yeow, a former accountant general, for the post. A total of 1,756,517 votes were polled. Ong received 952,513 votes while Chua had 670,358 votes, despite the former having a higher public exposure and a much more active campaign than Chua.

However, soon after his election to the presidency in 1993, Ong was tangled in a dispute over the access of information regarding Singapore's financial reserves. The government said it would take 56 man-years to produce a dollar-and-cents value of the immovable assets. Ong discussed this with the accountant general and the auditor general and eventually conceded that the government only had to declare all of its properties, a list which took a few months to produce. Even then, the list was not complete; it took the government a total of three years to produce the information that Ong requested.[12]

In an interview with Asiaweek six months after stepping down from presidency,[13] Ong indicated that he had asked for this audit based on the principle that as an elected president, he was bound to protect the national reserves, and the only way of doing so would be to know what reserves (both liquid cash and assets) the government owned.

In the last year of his presidency (1998) Ong found out through the newspapers that the government aimed to submit a bill to Parliament to sell the Post Office Savings Bank (POSB) to The Development Bank of Singapore. The POSB was, at that time, a government statutory board whose reserves were under the president's protection; this move according to Ong, was procedurally inappropriate and did not regard Ong's significance as the guardian of the reserves; he had to call and inform the government of this oversight. In spite of this, the sale proceeded and the Development Bank Of Singapore owns POSBank and its name to this present day.[13]

Ong received an honorary appointment of Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George (GCMG) from Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in 1998.[14]

Ong decided not to run for a second term as president in 1999 partially due to health reasons.
Ong's wife, Ling Siew May, died in August 1999 after a cancer relapse. Ong died later on February 8, 2002, at the age of 66, from lymphoma in his home at about 8:14 pm SST after he had been discharged from hospital a few days earlier.



and u don't need high IQ to figure out why the prata-teh-tarik-mango guy and ex-gic deputy chairman and ED only grace charity shows and watch live football.............

well. 60% of votes is the final line of PAP defense for 90% of seats under FPTP. if the Oppositions gained another 5-7% increase of votes nationwide. how matter how PAP gerrymandered the entire Singapore, seats will fall and fall to Oppositions like Dominoes. PAP would lose 2/3 majority in Parliament, maybe lose more seats than 1/3.

 

[Bigfuck]

This is the question they do not want to answer because more than 70% of business are Leegime owned and dependent. It is no different for Suharto's time. Problem with such systems is it attracts corruption of unspeakable proportion over time. IB does not want people to even think about it as it would antagonize the people to riot point to fully comprehend the degree they have been screwed.
Mobilizing the army will see US drones assassination and US warships coming in to serve their own interests and no one else's.

50 years ago nobody believes the Man In White could get involved with a married woman and resign like a gentleman with honour.
