Re: The Little India Riots: A missed opportunity by the PAP and the people of Singapo
There are many forums here, not only Sammyboy for you to visit and read some of the pro-PAP comments. Don't just go to those forums that agree with your views as forums like TRE, therealsingapore, fuckwarezone are not the only ones out there. There is a modicum of truth when Pinky said and I quote "generally, unhappy people go on the internet while satisfied people don’t have time to go on the internet."
There are businessmen, hawkers, taxi-drivers and many more voters who are comfortable with the current government. See the thousands of BMs, Mercs, Lambos and Porsche cars on the roads and go to the airport and see the thousands more Singaporean holiday makers. Don't forget too, the thousands of voters employed in the civil sector. You are living in the proverbial well if you don't know what is going on. Don't allow your biased perception fool you but open your eyes and mind.
What those people you meet tell you and who they eventually vote for is anyone's guess. It is a very big mistake to have your myopic views on Singaporeans that:
"The very large majority of people who voted for the PAP can be categorized in the following:
a) Older people who remembered the good days, and are too kiasu to risk their miserable existence on a new party.
b) people who have been so brainwashed by the PAP, maybe all the way back to the PAP kindergarten days that they are incapable of any other choice.
c) Civil servants (like teachers and what not) who are so kiasu to lose their rice bowl if another govt, takes charge.
d) Just plain stupid people without the ability t0 reason.
The above people are largely not living the good life. They are overworked, stressed, and pack like sardines into their HDB rented flats."
My hope is for better group of leaders who wish nothing but the best for the country and it's citizens. The present crop of leaders we have is nothing but a bunch of yes-men who are not real leaders but are actually highly paid top civil servants.
