[h=2]The anti-competition PAP[/h]
May 10th, 2014 |
Author: Contributions
I refer to the concept of competition by a commentator @luc under the thread
‘Singapore belongs to everyone…. except S’poreans?‘ where it
illustrates the mindset of PM Lee Hsien Loong and his PAP govt on competition in
SG.
luc: I think its a very good idea to open the jobs of
Civil Service to FTs. Currently many people has commented some tulan over the
service level of our civil service and stats board. Their jobs are protected and
hence they dont feel need to change. With competitions, I am sure they will do a
better job. All will benefits.
Everybody needs a fair degree of competition to
challenge oneself to greater heights. However, because of PAP’s xenophilia
(xenophilia means an affection for unknown/foreign objects or peoples. It is
the opposite of xenophobia) addiction for a host of reasons, competition
from fellow S’poreans are not considered as competition. Only foreigners with
dubious credentials which are difficult to verify are considered competition.
And so the influx of foreigners continues unabated at the behest of the PAP
govt, with little differentiation between citizens who are the hosts of the
land, and foreigners, the guests from outside. Only economic value counts.
Private sectors and public sectors (eg: civil service) are one big private
corporation to the PAP govt — usually to benefit themselves and their close
supporters.
Defence and security duties using cheap NSmen are also an economic
calculation for the PAP govt. The economic value loss, unfair rights as
local-born citizens and unspecified disadvantages placed on local citizens (but
not on instant new citizens) for at least 12 years are definitely not
level-playing field competition vis-a-vis foreigners. Again, it’s not considered
as competition for locals but a duty locals must accept and be proud of — even
if they’re protecting the 40+% of foreigners eating away their lunches!
But of course, when it comes to political competition for ideas and policies
to spur SG to greater heights, it’s not good for SG — so the PAP says. Peaceful
public protests by citizens freely without police permit, against abuse of power
or unfair policies by the govt, must be nipped in the bud using draconian laws
such as detention without trial and Public Order Act. Registered political
parties, except PAP, are excluded by more anti-competition laws besides the
above. Anti-competition laws are added constantly into the Broadcasting Act and
Newspaper and Press Printing Act to stop the opposition parties from reaching
out to the masses through these media to compete on an equal footing with the
PAP govt. Cyberspace is another media marked recently for tighter control to
curb competition with PAP.
Voters must bring competition to the PAP govt else they will forever hide and
shield themselves from competition through anti-competition laws while preaching
to locals that they must compete for jobs, houses and infrastructure (for which
they are already and fully stressed out) on a global scale of 7 billion
population right here in a tiny island of 710 sq
km!
