Yeh but: 1. Who pays the tax? I'd rather you tax the people who can afford to pay it. You think that the poor people in Singapore do not work hard? They'd work hard, and after all that they still get robbed of whatever little they own. 2. I don't mind people coming over to my country if they...

http://www.forbes.com/sites/neerjajetley/2013/10/25/how-to-ward-off-tax-cheats-and-get-loads-of-money-singapore-walks-the-tightrope/ Sometimes I wonder how many people think deeply about what the real problem in Singapore is. The PAP is a big problem, but I'm not even sure they are the...

In case nobody's noticed, a revolution took place in the Singapore cabinet. These PAP ministers left the cabinet around 2011: Lee Kuan Yew Goh Chok Tong Mah Bow Tan S Jayakumar George Yeo Raymond Lim Lim Hwee Hwa Lim Boon Heng Around half the cabinet got flushed out. Just like the...

Yes but: 1. You don't have an option of staying single after getting rid of the abusive husband. You have to marry another husband and hope that the second husband is better than the one that you just got rid of. 2. You don't know that the second husband is actually a better one. Until you...

First part I agree with you. What to do becomes clear is not true. You have one guy telling me that it's "obvious" that the opposition is not ready to assume power, and you have another guy telling me that he doesn't want option 1, but he can't tell me whether he wants 2, 3 or 4, and yet "what...

No, I think 2011 could be considered a "difficult time" because of all the problems. And the PAP didn't fare well. People were enthusiastic about the "new normal" because it seemed that things would "only get better". But whatever it is, there are only a few possibilities: 1. Everything goes...

It has been repeated many many times before: GE 2011 was a watershed election. So there is the pre-2011 blur fuck PAP, or at least super-arrogant PAP who believed that they were as invulnerable as they had been in the last 40 years since Lee Siew Choh committed harakiri and delivered parliament...

I'm advocating some form of enforcement but I don't believe that the GRC is the right way to do it. The GRC solves the race problem in parliament, but at the cost which is even more severe than the race problem. There are other ways of enforcing racial quotas in elections. Just have a rule that...

Segregation is segregation. And the lines between de jure and de facto are very blurry. The streaming thing - I'm sure it came from some Chinese parent who didn't want to see his kids mixing too much with those hwang kia and keleng. Then it got codified into law. And it got democratic support...

well the only thing more pathetic than the voters dictating what the WP should do is the PAP dictating what the WP should do. This is your idea of how competition always always benefits the consumers huh.

It's all here in the forum. WP supporter slagging off SDP is the most common thing these days. That I even have to "provide proof" - that's a joke.

They're taking too long to get started. Even if you say that the party listens to the people, the leaders have to start the conversation first. Then maybe the party members will give feedback, the voters will give feedback. What you are saying is that the party has to dumb itself down to the...

I'll believe it when I see it. Right now it's all petty little things like municipal issues. Town council or "thank you" events, it's all municipal.

It's really really petty and ugly. WP should be talking about fixing the PAP, not the SDP. And if they want to continue chatting, it's up to them. There is a glaring absence in terms of the WP rank and file discussing national issues. Almost everything is local politics. It's almost as though...

I don't get it. After years of abusing the Straits Times as the Braddell Brothel, people are actually clapping and cheering that they've done a fairly neutral to positive write-up on Sylvia Lim? You guys are crazy. I'm not going to say whether this is a good or bad thing, but it's a fairly...

Maybe I didn't explain it simple enough. You don't really respect the views of the daft 60% sinkie majority who vote for the white scums. And suddenly you think that it is so important to respect them when they think that the WP shouldn't be involved in national issues? The vote is about...

They can continue to make arses of themselves. It's just the party that will suffer that's all.

You and I do not know when the opposition is coming into power. But I can guarantee you two things. 1. It takes a long time to be ready to run the govt of Singapore. 2. When the time comes for the opposition to enter power, they will not be ready. Because I'm not saying that they haven't...

That's almost like saying that the elites should run the government and never the people. And I thought you were the great believer in democracy. If they're only talking about petty little things like squabbles between political parties, or who's in or who's out, and they're not talking about...

No, what I am asking is why the WP is not meddling enough in the politics of the Singapore govt. And I mean Singapore govt, not ahpetc. Why do we not know enough about their plans for meddling in the Singapore govt. Why WP supporters are always saying grassroots grassroots grassroots and...
