Serious Law Professor: HSK has no faith in us, why should we have faith in him?

[Confuseous]

One of the themes in Mr Thio’s post is that the ruling party must have more faith in the public. Using the statement last year from Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat that Singapore is not ready for a non-Chinese head of state, he wrote, “what is the basis for that? Do you have a poll? Or is it anecdotal? It feels that you are impugning our moral sense with a racism that isn’t substantively there.”

Don’t insult us. Our feelings, our intelligence or our aspirations. “Don’t worry about voting in all 93 PAP MPs - there will be 12 NCMP seats to ensure representation”. That is neither convincing or persuasive. Some see an NCMP, and there is a “loser” sign on their forehead. That is not what legitimacy looks like. Don’t tell us “own self check own self” works. That would be unacceptable in almost any form of organised public activity or corporate life. Why would we accept that in political life, where the stakes are the highest?

A totalitarian regime always distrusts its citizens, condescension is the default attitude. Look at China.

"I can treat you like shit and still retain power."
