I look around Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and after that I tell myself, having more opposing and independent parties doesn't mean the country is cleaner.
My definition of changing the govt means removing the PAP seats and filling up with Opposition members. Will it help to make this country cleaner? I don't think so.
It's like what you said. Fallacies of Human. No system is perfect or foolproof. Loopholes are only discovered after incidents happened.
Again, missing the whole point as usual. The difference between those countries you mention (malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines) and Singapore is that those countries do not claim to the world to have a corruption free clean govt. The PAP makes this claim repeatedly and based its compensation and mandate to rule on this spurious claim. The PAP has claimed many times that paying itself and civil servants extremely high salary will remove the corruption factor, as there will be no more incentive to steal. This is obviously wrong and this is why this case is so big. This case proves that no matter how much money u pay them, (and in the following weeks u will be shocked at what this koh chaps makes), they will still steal. This case makes the point for the PAP to revise its pay scale downwards. Will they, no they will not. But its another nail in their coffin come election time, because the common people will remember this case.
