I agree that electoral reforms are needed. However I do not agree on proportional representation in its 'purest ' form as its devisive and brings about the tyranny of the minority. Look at various countries which have such a system. Minor parties are invited to form a coalition government and...

At this stage, such a Grand Coalition is better than a PAP walkover, and to me its the Opposition versus the PAP not WP vs PAP , or Tan Ah Kow versus PAP. And in opposition history, candidates from different parties have contested seats under other parties. Like that Tan Lead Shake aka Slipper...

Electoral Reforms in Singapore Hi Frens, There has been many comments on electoral reforms for Singapore and these are my 2 cents worth of comments. Please offer your comments to improve on this thread. Before I start, my view is I do not support a proportional representation system as...

Hi GMS, glad to see you putting in more effort to contest the elections. And giving Singaporean a chance to vote. However I do have a questions and opinions. I believe that you will be contesting Tampines GRC so that is the turf of MBT. MBT has been there for a long time and he has won...

In the past, I have known many singaporeans who are unhappy with PAP and yet still vote for them. The excuses that was given was very self serving. Like for example: 'I vote PAP as I want my flat price to go up'. 'I vote PAP but I hope the opposition win' As such, Singaporeans deserve the...

I really do not understand why the Opposition cannot work together. We all know the GRCs are pretty much intact and as such its easier to carve up the constituencies. So the opposition should come together and decide where they want to contest. like WP for AMK, SDA and Reform Party for Bishan...

Hi, that is why to reduce such speculations, ALL PRs and foreigners must pay property tax when they sell. And it must be a high amount like 75% of the profit. With such penalties, it will discourage them from buying and competing and if to discourage eb bloc etc,,so that way locals are placed 1st.

Dear Frens, to be honest, seeing him get kicked down is a good thing. Considering he is nothing but a self serving scum. Seeing him and the Lee family not getting on well is really a small snake getting eaten by a big snake, I shed no tears,,, and its good for us 'normals',,,,

Treat them mean, keep them keen

Thanks for the input, that is where I will add point 6) Naturalised Singaporeans who are not in Singapore and still renting out their HDB after a year will be taxed 50% of rental income. 7) Naturalised Singaporeans who are not in Singapore for 2 years out of 3 years will have to sell their...

Dear Frens, one of the solutions to this problem of PRs etc hiking up the price of HDB is easy. This is just my 2 cents worth. 1) All PRs who rent out the HDB flats are to be taxed 50% to 80% on rental amount. This will limit the amount of outflow from the economy. And minimise most of the...

Dear Frens, to be honest, Chee Soon Juan has done alot of damage to the Opposition, with his antics and 'stunts' like hunger strike etc. However, CSJ has also done some 'good' with various activities like the Tak Boleh Tahan etc. The way the police came down on him was a real embaressment to...

Actually the Ah Neh is correct in what she say,,,her son is not singaporean,,,,they answered their own questions,,,not that bright,, in addition, such a rubbish article, our newspapers also can print,,,such standards,,,or rather lack of,,,
