I always have the same perception that everything the PAP does nowadays is so fake; it's all to do with packaging. Everything is packaged; especially the ministers' sky-high remuneration package.

National Conversaton is merely a political gimmick at damage control and to arrest the lost momentum (thinking ahead to the carnage in 2016). It is intended to send a strong message that our views really matter so that they can think of more innovative ways to con us for more years to come!
