The impending fall of the PAP is to be expected after controlling Singapore for 5 decades.
12 years ago, Ngiam Tong Dow cautioned against the lack of serious political challenges from the alternative elite and warned that “the incumbent elite will just coast along”. Truth be said, PAP did not just coast along; they were slumbering on public housing, healthcare, transportation and retirement issues.
Under Lee Kuan Yew, PAP had implemented a system of zero transparency and accountability and created an illusion of Utopia which has even fooled foreigners. Although LKY had claimed he wanted to prevent duds (ie opposition) from getting into parliament, he allowed dozens of PAP duds to slip into parliament through PAP’s GRC system.
Ngiam also said that “it is in the law of nature that all things must atrophy”. It’s not difficult to see how PAP’s system, now rotten to the core, obeying the law of nature and collapsing on itself after decades.
PAP claims it has resolved most of our issues when, in fact, it has resolved NOTHING. All our issues are directly linked to a mindless (a lower rate of increase acceptable) increase in the population of foreigners. Including new citizens and PRs, PAP has increased the foreigner population by an estimated 250,000 since 2011. How does this solve our problem?
It’s easy to see why PAP has planned to fail without mentioning liabilities like MPs Intan and Alvin Yeo, MOS Lam Pin Min and even Minister Khaw Boon Wan. (DBSS screw up should be handled by MND but PAP ‘T-loan’ MOE Minister to set up special task force)
PAP cannot be unaware that an increasing number of Singaporeans have been adversely affected by its flawed policies since 2011. Logically, the number of votes going to opposition parties will increase.
Tanjong Pagar GRC has an estimated 140,000 voters but has been uncontested since 1991. Without LKY, Tanjong Pagar GRC is not ‘pow chiak’ for PAP. Coupled with social media exposing half truths spouted by lamestream media, ex paper general Keechiu is likely to desert his constituents.
Since 2011, many PAP supporters have also become disenchanted with PAP. The hand that fed them in Aljuneid GRC has been replaced and will not return anytime soon. Supporters in other GRCs are also aware that their golden rice bowls may be lost, ie if a GRC with 3 ministers could fall, no GRC is safe.
PAP grassroots can see for themselves PAP doesn’t walk the talk when it assigned unknown and ‘unarmed’ grassroots members to ‘do battle’ with more powerful opposition MPs in Aljuneid GRC. The smarter ones would have already hedged themselves.
Singaporeans are not easily bought over by pre election goodies and PAP should not believe its propaganda will work. PAP’s dominance has been detrimental to ordinary Singaporeans who look forward to meaningful change.
But what comes after PAP’s defeat will not be all plain sailing. I believe this is something most Singaporeans have not even thought about.
Considering the PAP has concealed too much material information for 5 decades, we should expect many skeletons to fall out from its cupboard. The disclosure of such information will impact Singapore in ways in which no one can imagine.
In public housing, the government can no longer refuse to...
