Think tank: PAP Paper has no methodology, framework, assumptions, or models shown

[Confuseous]

The People's Action Party has its usual pretense of a reasoned debate to show it's hardly rushing to implement a white paper despite the one week gap between publication and parliamentary debate ("How many foreigners are working in essential services?" Shouldn't this be in a white paper?).

The most embarrassing thing is how one after another, PAP MPs will line up to scrutinise and then endorse a white paper whose assumptions, models, even policy credibility remain unknown to them even at the end of their questioning. In contrast, when faced with activists, tertiary students, and the general public in various dialogue sessions, certain PAP MPs are infamous for demanding to know the exact models, theoretical frameworks, and assumptions - and then dismissing these alternative policy proposals from activists and critiques from the general public out of hand anyway.

While demanding such high standards of Singapore's activists and their critiques and alternate visions, the MPs of the People's Action Party are content to blind themselves when it comes to a proposal that would not pass muster from their exacting standards had it not come from the Prime Minister's Office.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the PAP clown show.

A white paper with no methodology, framework, assumptions, models shown is a paper that shortchanges the legislation, a white paper that reduces the legislature to a bunch of grossly overpaid chattering monkeys, a white paper that brooks no real debate or challenge, that depends on passage by a legislature unable to ascertain its true merits.

There is only one and only one objective for this FAP Traitors' WHITE LIE and that is to seal their hold on to power into perpetuity through replacement of SGs with Foreigners. This is economic genocide. This is HIGH TREASON. No country in the world will allow this to happen with the kind of leeway and impunity the FAP Traitors are given. In functioning countries, such traitors would have been swiftly toppled and brought to justice. The punishment will be execution by hanging, electric chair or firing squad.

The methodology is known as "lim pei ka li kong", or in more polite terms, Lee Kwan Yew said so, hence it is correct.
