the drought is a sign that the PAP has lost the Mandate of Heaven. the collapse of the Ming Dynasty started with a serious drought in Henan. our Opposition should start propagandising this analogy to the people.
ok what you say hold some truth:

The "Mandate of Heaven" is Shown in Rainfall
Chinese philosophers since the Zhou Dynasty (1122–256 B.C.) have theorized that emperors receive the "Mandate of Heaven," or support from the gods, if they rule wisely and justly. When an emperor becomes a tyrant, the Mandate is revoked and the dynasty falls.
This theory kept emperors from wielding unlimited power, and provided a handy rationalization for any army general or nobleman who sought to overthrow the emperor and establish a new dynasty of his own.
Now, it seems, scientific evidence indicates that the Mandate of Heaven literally fell from the sky - in the form of rainfall.
Cycles of Dryness
The stalagmite reveals that the monsoon rains fell off substantially between about 860 and 930 A.D. Another decades-long dry spell hit between 1340 and 1380 A.D., and a third from 1580 to 1640 A.D.
Monsoon rains that had moved north from the Indian Ocean no longer made it to much of central and northern China, and the land grew parched. This spelled big trouble for the emperors.
