Do We Need Oppositions? (a wee bit too long)

[Tweety]

No, Singapore has been well managed, by the able hands of senior Lee,
Lee's son, party and family members for more than 40 years. Its political
machines are well grease and much better organize than the machineries
of the late Mayor Richard J. Daley who run Chicago for twenty years in
the fifties tills the seventies. Most Americans still remember Mayor Daley's
Cook County.

The people don't want opposition, as shown by the Voting trend. In the
2001 GE the PAP obtains 75.3% of the vote cast with a 94.6% turnout.
Can you imagine more 75.3% popular vote compare with George
Bush 50.9% in the 2004 Presidential election? George Bush considers
his victory triumphant and a "political capital."

The people hate opposition, they laugh at Jeyaretnam and call Dr.
Chee useless, mad and should be lock up. They say Francis
Seow and Tang are chickens, running away instead fight till bankrupt!

What can the opposition do and who are the oppositions? They are crooks,
bicycle thieves, womanizer and liars? These coward can't stand on their on
feet. Many, turn tail and run away as soon as they smell trouble. They are
nowhere to be seen or heard before and after the election and only shown
up just before GE. One of them even left his wife in the lurch to face the our
all-powerful honest Judges. One wonder if these oppositions can do
anything for the people, when they cannot even help themselves or their love
ones! The present two opposition MP have been around for so long they have
becomes dinosaurs. I guess they are there just for show.

Can you trust opposition? Definitely not! Let me quote a whiners recent post....

Not good thinking.
How do you know the opposition would not
do exactly the SAME thing or WORSE than
what you claim the PAP is doing?
LOL.

Shouldn't it be called "Council of Companies Providing $$$ Transport
to the Public" since no public representatives sits on that council?

But you forget, that if your claim that PAP
has changed the laws to its benefit, what
would prevent a party to do away with election
or even change the boundaries to one huge
GRC?

Then what is your complain here?
It seems you already have a democratic system
in which you can vote out anyone you do not like.
So whats stopping you to do that that you need
to complain in this forum?
If you have all the control as you claim, you have
no excuse complaining here as its YOUR choice
all along?

94.6% turnout ... but only in the constituencies that were allowed to
vote. Voters in walk-over consitutencies were not allowed to vote, so
participation in those districts was 0%. Zero. Nada. Nothing.

The overall percentage of the total Singaporean electorate who
actually voted was probably no better than the total percentage of
Americans who voted in 2004. But at least in the US, a person can
choose to vote, or not vote, even in elections where there is only one
candidate; in Singapore, a person must vote -- except where they are
not allowed to vote because there is only one candidate.

If you want to make a direct comparison of voter participation between
Singapore and the US, then Singapore must allow ALL eligible voters
the right to vote even when there is only one candidate on a ballot.

How can strong oppositions have a fair playing field when our national press
and media are tightly controlled. It is very difficult to find strong
opposition voices in them.

How can strong oppositions have a fair playing field when their
representative is allocated a small amount of airtime during election time
public broadcast while the ruling party can have a larger share just because
they have more members in the parliament. What kind of logic is that?

How can oppositions have a fair playing field when they are systematically
eliminated through bankruptcies lawsuits and declared as mental cases?

How can we attact more oppositions to the parliament, after Singaporeans
have seen the results of being a strong opposition member in the parliament?

That's not exactly correct, Steve.

If there's only one candidate for that constituency representing PAP,
that means the oppositions are not interested in contesting for that
particular area. You can't blame PAP for that.

As mentioned to Madcow before, they wanna win PAP in the game, they gotta
play by PAP's game rules. The oppositions have only themselves to blame
for forsaking their pursuit in public representation to the extent
whereby PAP can take advantage of the electoral process by force majure.

I for one is not saying that our present Gov is useless...

Well, some credits should be given to them on how they managed Sg in an
orderly manner and that's how we survive especially, we are just a tiny
island with no natural resources.... to survive thru political
stability and hopefully, transparency of the laws...

But, just that, as everyone here believe, we could do better, making a
better lace for all sgian to live in.... What I am saying is, more
consideration on welfare for those unfortunate... and desperate poor.
Cause, the cost of living is simply to high!!!!

Yeah, old man is around to monitor, how about if, old man is gone???

Are our younger generation with different aspiration and thinking could
carry on with the present system of running SG?

You see, during the hey days, those old guards, all come with good
face's feature and always implementing policies with the people at
heart.....ie. entering CBD, a motoriat could avoid paying the $4
charges by having 4 passengers(in the car), an alternative.. but,
nowadays. everywhere, you find ER gantries, no alternatives given to
motorist to avoid paying further charges....LTA once mentioned that,
with the ERPs, they would then slowly reviewed ARF charges and rd tax,
to make the owning a car much cheaper...
What have they done till now???

is almost extinct) or democracy, any single party (or person) that
holds on to power and rule absolutely will inevitably leads to
corruption and civil unrest.

This is becoz of human nature: Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Look into history and you will see tons of examples. Dynasties are
formed, risen in power, then fall apart.

Do we need opposition in Singapore?

This is a difficult question to answer. This is becoz we can't say for
sure at what 'stage' we are in. Are we still in our early years, where
the goverment is still young and relatively less corrupt? Are we coming
into age, where corruption is about to boom? Are we dying?

Different ppl have different views.

While I will agree that our current 'opposition' parties doesn't appear
to amount to much, I say that some form of 'opposition' to the
government is required. It need not neccessary means that we MUST vote
into power opposition parties, rather, the ppl must have the mentality
to question the government. They must realise that it is not the
government who are accountable but themselves.

Often, we hear ppl say that the government is too powerful, that we
cannot do anything. That is often untrue. It is sometime used by those
against the government as an arguement that we should overthrow the
government. More often, it is used by those too lazy to do anything.

Furthermore, we must also question those who act in the name of
'Opposition' as well. We have to be sure that their motives are for the
benefit of Singapore, and not just for the sake of opposing. Or worse,
for their own benefit.

The individual must be able to decide on their own. They must learn,
continue improving themselves so that they can make intelligent,
imformed decisions. They must be able to see pass the motives of the
various parties, and decide what is best for themselves.

Sadly, most are unwilling to make that effort.

She who dances without much effort.

While, by law, we must vote, the law do not ask us to vote for anyone.
If we choose not to vote, we can simply void our vote. The law requires
our presense at the voting stand and put in a piece of paper, NOT
whether we should vote or not.

No, Singapore has been well managed, by the able hands of senior Lee,
Lee's son, party and family members for more than 40 years. Its
political machines are well grease and much better organize than the
machineries of the late Mayor Richard J. Daley who run Chicago for
twenty years in the fifties tills the seventies. Most Americans still
remember Mayor Daley's Cook County.

PAP still need oppositions for show. Otherwise people outside will think
that S'pore is run by a dictator and have no demokracy.

Dumb shit, how could you decide which is good and bad when you dun even have any

Look at it this way: The smart one either migrate, become born again PAP or keep
quite. While only dummies run and almost everyone went bankrupt!

The question is not whether Singapore needs opposition or not, but
rather whether the PAP Government have the balls to amend the
constitution and statutes to ban opposition altogether???.

Again, does PAP have the balls???

[news.new]

You should put the question otherway round.
We need a opposition if they are strong, good and originazed. And not though
just know how to shount in the street!

It was not the opposition parties that started to enact laws to ban or
limit freedom of speech, expression, political participation and etc.

It is the PAP party that started to play unfair.

Therefore the question is how much unfair could they become with their
current balls. Do they have the balls to be totally unfair. Again do
PAP have the BALLS!!!

And Stop asking on what the opposition could do!!! Why should they do
anything that Singaporeans do not have the balls to finance and support.

How could the opposition discover governmental corruptions when the
account books are closed to public view. Is that not unfair???.

Why laws were created to ban certain people from participating in
elections???
Is that not unfair? What is PAP afriad??? Don't they have the balls??

Yes, all people should do good to their countries. But should the
people do good to a country that is in a position to help all but only
chose to help those it liked???

Of course there are freedom after speech. You are free to jump from your leased
pigeon hole. You can do wat you wanted even before and after the speech.

You are free to speak anything, but beware you will be sue, sue till you have
only your underwear as your only procession.

[Ceciro]

Is not a threat to sue is a threat to freedom of speech.

If a payment is needed to speak then why do you claim it is free?
