By PM Lee’s definition, PAP does not engage in constructive politics

[Confuseous]

It is interesting to note that PM Lee has actually shot himself in the foot in the unconstructive debate on constructive politics. Instead of a debate on our pressing issues, PAP MPs, as usual, were merely trying to win a battle of words.

According to PM Lee, the 5 qualities of constructive politics are: (I’ll just list three)

1 “Effective policies which improve Singaporeans’ lives” Ordinary citizens have experienced an increasingly lower standard of living for the last decade. Low wage workers have even seen wage stagnation. Housing has remained less unaffordable; it has not “remain affordable” as frequently mentioned in the government’s mouthpiece. The additional buses have hardly alleviated overcrowding during peak hours. Many urgent medical cases are still given appointments months or even up to a year at public hospitals. Medical conditions could have worsened, resulting in a higher hospital bill and even premature death. 3 weeks ago, a friend was informed that he needed an MRI scan to confirm the possibility of a tumour. The earliest appointment was in 3 months’ time.

PAP score: 0 (policies not effective as Singaporeans are worse off)

PAP's definition of politics is that it is about people's lives. True, but PAP's politics have screwed up our lives instead of improving them. So, no matter in what way the PM and the PAP have defined and practised constructive politics, it was never constructive and never about people's lives.
