It's your interpretation and you have the right to strongly believe that you are right. The PAP LEEders thought so too, BUT not all PAP leaders agreed with the policy. These leaders had to agree to the policy.
Like many others, I have mine. There are many ways to kill a cat, but if the act is too cruel, then that might not be the best method. Likewise, if the people of Singapore were to be disadvantaged and/or badly affected thereafter, then there is need to refine or rethink. I am definitely very against just doing it against doing it properly and effectively. A pass is definitely not excellent. Preach meritocracy but deliver mediocrity. Like each and every Singaporean, I have the right and ability to judge the performance of each elected MP. We give the votes. As a Singaporean, I HATE and despise arrogant, complacent and/or incompetent MPs who are unable to even perform satisfactorily. Singaporeans should expect and demand the STANDARD that PAP LEEders set themselves, and that is THE WORLD'S BEST-PAID politicians and national leaders.
FOOD for THOUGHT:
Stop acting high and mighty. Singaporeans are able to think and act for ourselves. We, the citizens of Singapore, are not stupid and should not be treated like slaves. In earlier years, the PAP LEEders changed our employment agreements and took away some of our CPF money. We GAVE in and TOOK the cut. A cut that affected many over subsequent years, even till today. Then after, the wicked PAP LEEders schemed to not return the CPF money after age of 55? Again Singaporeans were bullied into giving in and taking the bite. The LEEders bit into our flesh and we endured the pain.
So stop trying to explain to us Singaporeans because we are unable to rationalise for ourselves. Stop telling us what we should not and cannot do because we have enough of GIVE and TAKE. I am definitely not going to GIVE you my vote and there is no way you can TAKE it. Why? It's because I am a Singaporean. I shall think and act based on my ability...A WRONG DECISION for you is the RIGHT DECISION for me and my fellow Singaporeans.
