FORMER prime minister Lee Kuan Yew has warned of the dangers of Singapore moving towards a two-party system and electing weak and ineffective governments.

The progress made by the country since independence is not cast in stone and would 'spiral downwards' with poor governance, he argued in a recent interview with China Central Television (CCTV).

In an implicit reference to arguments made during the May General Election, he noted that many Singaporeans now desire a 'First World Parliament' and a two-party system.

'Their argument is simple. A First World country must have a First World Parliament. A First World Parliament must have a First World opposition. Then you can change dice. I think if ever we go down that road, I'll be very sorry for Singapore,' he said.

Campaigning on the platform of a 'First World Parliament', the Workers' Party won an unprecedented six seats at the May 7 polls. The ruling People's Action Party's vote share was also cut to 60.1 per cent.

it boils down to his belief that:

a) there is limited talent in Singapore - and the available talent is with PAP. Those talent that are not roped in PAP are simply because they are not interested. So, if PAP cannot find them / get them in, no one can.

Even if opp manage to rope one or two, they are not enough to become a able replacement government.

b) Elites breed elites. The idea hereditary is deeply ingrained in his mentality.
