Edit
There is speculation that the General Election is just around the corner (Dec 2010?) as Straits Times today (14 Oct 2010) reported that PAP MPs were asked to have their photos taken and prepare for rehearsal for speeches.
I just want to show you something from the 2006 Election:
“I am concerned about less-skilled Singaporeans, whose jobs and wages are under pressure. I worry for older Singaporeans too, living by themselves and having to provide for their medical and daily expenses. I am troubled that a terrorist attack will sow suspicion and discord among Singaporeans.
We must respond boldly and creatively to these opportunities and challenges, expand our horizons and aim high. We will continue to restructure our economy to make it more productive and resilient. We should make our society more vibrant and cohesive. And our young must be imbued with the same can-do, never-say-die Singapore spiritthat has brought us here”
– Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, his letter to Singaporeans, PAP Manifesto for General Election 2006.
You remember this letter sent to you during the last election? I want to show it to you to remind you of PM Lee’s promise in 2006 to “respond boldly and creatively” to the challenges faced by Singaporeans. That was 4 years ago. Just look at the above paragraph – right on top, he said “I’m concerned…about less skilled Singaporeans whose jobs and wages are under pressure”. He sent this letter to all Singaporeans during the last election and after he got elected he opened the floodgates to cheap foreign labor and that increased the downward pressure on the wages of lower skilled workers. He increased GST – a regressive tax that would be most heavily shouldered by low wages earners. He increased the pay of his cabinet which was already the highest in the world prior to the increase.
When the campaigning starts and the PAP men give their speeches and make their promises, remember what Lee Hsien Loong said in 2006 and what he has done since.

Discussion of FT can be more meaningful if we also include the term LT, ie. local talents.
It would be more helpful for those who are upset about the broken promises of GE 2006 to compile a list of the broken promises with proper reference/source so that the competent opposition candidates can help voice that out for us (inside and outside the parliament).
If Singaporeans are a bunch of dumb voters, yes it would likely work if you have a bunch of mobtizens telling them in unity to vote for the Oppositions. Then again, if Singaporeans are really a bunch of dumb voters, then they would also be easily swayed by the Proposition.
Facts, Facts, Facts, people.

Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan says means-testing will not be implemented in the next two years as originally planned.
He was responding on Wednesday to a Workers' Party's concern over the criteria to be used for means-testing.
Mr Khaw said: "The criteria? I don't know. I honestly don't know. I don't tell lies like some people. You don't want to implement a scheme that is so complicated, that it costs so much to do thorough means-testing. Then whatever you save, you have to now pay more for administrative costs. Now, that additional cost, someone has to bear it."

Health minister says no basis for rise in medical insurance premiums
29 January 2008 1416 hrs (SST)
SINGAPORE : Bit by bit, the questions about implementing means testing in public hospitals are being addressed but one has lingered unanswered, until now: Will medical insurance premiums inflate as a result?
One media report had suggested this possibility, after the Life Insurance Association (LIA) of Singapore said means testing would have a "definite impact" on the health insurance market, and insurers would have to review their product designs and policies.
Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan, however, gave his response in no uncertain terms when TODAY put the question to him. "There is no basis for such a rise," he said, in an email interview.

I think it is more effective for the Opps to focus on defending/supporting their own GE2011 manifesto, that would be what the voters want, ie. whether each party manifesto can stand on its own.
eg. LTK is currently doing a great job (a surprise to me) defending his ideal SG public housing policy, to the extent that MBT is sweating and thus forgotten that the 'reserve' point was actually first raised by himself. MBT is currently threading on a thin line, perhaps he will come to realise this...

pap: we can't afford to lose a grc as grc are helmed by able ministers.
after election, yeow chow tong resigned from his minister post.
-------------
there were floods in bedok and the matter was brought up by wp east coast team
after election, there were lots of more severe floods.
===================
side track a bit, the announcement of Means Testing putting on hold is similar to
the current announcement of review on hdb costs.
the review can conclude no changes were needed.
if hdb flats were affordable as mbt and the press had claimed,
and lowering prices would be raiding reserves and also causing
current hdb owners to lose $,
why the need for the review?

All singaporeans must not be afraid of the pap.
