Perplexed that ST Editor wants WP to come up with plan

[JHolmesJr]

Can any one of you geniuses here make a meme out of the youtube clip when lhl says with that weird grin " are you going to abstain....or abstain from abstaining"?

Any resources that the govt. uses to decide its policies should also be accessible to the opposition parties. The resources are developed by various economists and statisticians, and consultants all paid by the taxpayer and not the PAP. Therefore, the PAP should not be the only ones to be allowed to use the information. The fact that this information is hidden from everyone is damning to the govt. I am still waiting to see the actual study, factually supported by evidence that supports the 6.9 million population proposal.

I am sure that the bitch knows all this. Just that either she has sold her soul, not believing what she writes, or writes what she is told. Either way, a loser. Pitiful.

ST Opinion Editor Chua Mui Hoong

I am a bit perplexed by Opinion editor Chua Mui Hoong’s view that the Workers’ Party (WP) should come up with a response to the Government’s plan to revamp public bus services (“Time for the Workers’ Party to grow up”; last Sunday).

The Government, with its civil service and ready access to relevant information, must have researched the issue well.

Unless one is intimately connected with our public transport system, one cannot readily foresee the expected effects of the planned changes, and it seems prudent to hold back on expressing an opinion.

The role of an opposition party is not to oppose for the sake of opposing, but to watch out for any wayward policies a government may embark on.

It may also prevent tyranny of the majority, which is not an entirely abstract concept.

No government is perfect and infallible; honest mistakes are unavoidable. That is why a one-party system is not ideal.

Democracy, however, does not always work because politicians often have their own self-interests at heart.

For an election system to be meaningful, there has to be a well-educated and concerned populace.

The United States prides itself on its democratic system, but only about 55 per cent of its voting-age population exercise their voting rights. India, the world’s largest democracy, is still mired in its caste system; and we have the messy political situation in Thailand today.

In our parliamentary system, the members may argue and disagree, but they are all expected to work for the greater good of the nation.

Let us hope our Parliament continues to work this way.

Either one of the following is capable of coming up with a masterplan to save WP:

Goh Meng Seng or Mark Andrew Yeo Kah Ch$ng.

ROTFL .................................

hitler was fascinated with his masterplan too.

Hilter was obsessed with fixing pple too

 

[sochi2014]

Any plans will not work. Country is packed to the seams.

Only plan which will work would be hitler's plan.

But that would not be popular with majority of the population.

Some sick Fart would enjoy it though.

Million dollar minister (with a multi-million pension on retirement), assisted by numerous $68-million scholars ....yet they want the Opposition to help them with ideas?

Disgusting.....they create all the mess and now they look over their shoulder and want a QUICK SALVATION from the opposition
