GE2015: The prodigal son returns home

PAP Acknowledging people’s concerns – such as healthcare costs, housing affordability, the middle income squeeze, competition for jobs especially for PMETs and older workers – the manifesto notes: “The PAP has worked hard to address these concerns. We have taken in views and ideas from thousands of people, and developed policies which are working.”Reply
If PAP can resolved the above - especially competition for jobs for PMETs and older workers, middle income squeeze - then PAP winning the election with more votes will be higher.
This is the major grievances. (squeezing the jobs out of Singaporeans is the root cause of the grievances).

I believe PAP will succeed in resolving this major grievances after this election.
And crippling PAP's abilities to do so will not be wise.
ricky l • a second agoRemove
By further crippling the number of PAP candidates - will bring about a Law of Diminishing Returns in Governance - and overall Singapore will suffer.
Over correction of the political dimension in Singapore - will be detrimental to all Singaporeans.
Punishing PAP further - will in return punished ourselves and in return, Singaporeans will suffer.
PAP Manifesto that has been just unveiled --- correctly point out the problems and issues that some Singaporeans are suffering from.
By bringing them out in the open and make it the PAP Manifesto - means PAP is determined to address the issues convincingly, not shirking responsibilities - but make it a resolve to tackle them.
As voters, if PAP has this resolve, we should support them.
Because, no Oppositions will be able to solve those issues mentioned.
In fact, Opposition performance in managing the town council is disappointing, and where does our money goes?

In this GE election, Singapore has reached a cornerstone - a wrong move will send a wrong signal - ie. Singaporeans do not agree with PAP manifesto - ie. to address people’s concerns – such as healthcare costs, housing affordability, the middle income squeeze, competition for jobs especially for PMETs and older workers.
By further crippling PAP's numbers - will cripple PAP's abilities to resolve the above Singaporean's problem.
Singaporeans want PAP to resolve the above problem, and Singaporeans then should vote to support the PAP manifesto ---- ie. to solve our problem, our Singaporean's problem of competition for jobs especially for PMETs and older workers, the middle income squeeze, healthcare cost and housing affordability.

Since 1960s when PAP led by the then Mr Lee Kuan Yew, he promises Singaporeans that there will be jobs, houses, healthcare, education etc ---- and time and again PAP has delivered. That is why PAP has been able to win election after election.
Jobs, housing, healthcare, education etc ---- are still the same issue in our modern world 2015 and beyond.
PAP is now making its Election Manifesto - to address them, the same promise that are make by previous PAP pioneers.
I believe, and I believe many critics of PAP also in their hearts believe - only PAP can deliver and make it better for Singaporeans not any Opposition groups can do it.
Thus, Singaporeans voters should be careful not to cripple the PAP, not to diminish the number unnecessarily that will bring miseries to ourselves ---- just when PAP is making a resolve in their Manifesto to do so.

Singaporeans genuinely want the party to be able solve their issues and problems to be able to live well, have jobs, have affordable housing etc in Singapore.
Which party can actually do it for us?
PAP? WP or other Opposition Parties?
I think everyone's answer (including the fiercest critics, even the Oppositions who are contesting against PAP) will be the same.
That is - only PAP can do it - no other parties, not even WP who openly acknowledge.
Then should we vote against PAP's manifesto - of solving PMET and older workers job for us?
Should we vote against PAP's manifesto - of resolving the middle income squeeze, the affordable healthcare, housing etc for us?
Thus we as voters have to be careful --- not to over correct the political dimension in this coming GE ---- which will condemn ourselves ---- not the PAP into a living hell.

If you think the Opposition
has done well in town council and in Parliament - then you are fooling yourself
and Singaporeans.
As managing agent of the town council, you are entrusted to look after the money that you have collected from the residents, not to run into deficit after 1 term.

o
If in 1 term, the deficit
is so huge - then after another term of 5 years or longer ---- how will the
town council be finance - when the town council run out of money and go into big
debts ----- like Greece in Europe?
Do you think Opposition supporters like you will bail the town council out through "crowd funding"?

With deficit now, where does the town council get the money to finance the town council operation?
Borrow with interest, run into debts?
Then what happen after that, fold up and declare bankrupt ---- like any company running into trouble?
ricky l • a second agoRemove
Then the residents who pay the town council monthly charges ---- go into a black hole to pay debts --- instead of being put into good used to keep the estate clean and accumulated into sinking fund for future refurbishment.
Do you think residents are happy now?
You will be foolish to think that residents are happy now.

If war broke out between S Korea and N Korea uncontrollably - it will not be status quo.Reply
The whole political landscape will be dramatically altered. The divide will be broken.
But both sides infrastructure will be badly damaged. Many people will die if the war escalate into full scale war.

Divine intervention to prevent political turmoil, racial and religious tension created by Dr M to Malaysia is true.Reply

Divine - refer to Supramundane consciousness, ability to foresee calamity is imminent.
Intervention - refer to if nothing is done and allow Dr M to continue maneuvering the political events in Malaysia, bad consequences will happen and the outcome will be far worst than what Malaysia will experience now.

If war erupted between S Korea and N Korea - even a brief one - will be harmful.Reply
Distrust will grow and future tensions and conflicts will recur more often.
Talks to cool tension is necessary to avoid escalation that lead to military confrontation.
Asia Pacific region is now a region of peace and growth.
It must not be shaken by a regional war that will shake business, investment - that will compromise economic growth.

Malaysia's Mahathir says 'democracy is dead' under PM Najib's rule

What PM Najib is practicing now is what Dr M have been practicing all his years as PM.Reply
By attacking PM Najib of current administration is as good as exposing himself.
Dr M is not exposed because no one actively exposed him.
Dr M is able to attack PM Najib - is because he know all these tricks as he is the Master of this trick as he had been using it all the while.
ricky l • a second agoRemove
Dr M tactics of pulling PM Najib down ---- is repeating a lie thousand times - and it become real.
Dr M is the Master of this craft.
Dr M have been using this craft on all his previous successors and bring them down.
Go back to history and see what he did to all his previous successors. In Dr M's eyes - no one is good enough except himself.
As long as Dr M is around ---- he will pull down every PM in Malaysia - and leave Malaysia in a limbo ---- like what he had always does.
Just look at the record ------ the ferocity of all his past attacks on all the past PMs after him.
ricky l • a second agoRemove
Dr M think that no one know about his legacy by painting himself as a Saint.
But the whole World know that Dr M is not a Saint and his malicious disposition -- and Dr M is willing to compromise Malaysia by hacking all his successors down and leave Malaysia in a limbo state.
This is the outcome of Dr M attack all these years on all his successors ----- until there is no successors left.
This is Dr M's vicious disposition.

Dr M is prepared to leave Malaysia in a chaotic state - with his incessant and relentless attacks on all his successors.
Dr M have no welfare of Malaysia's future in mind.
Dr M will just continue to sow discord within his party, within the leadership, create disunity among his people by sowing racial hatred and religious hatred and will to compromise Malaysia's future ------ just to satisfy his BIG EGO of PaPa of Malaysia.
But will a PaPa of Malaysia - hack them all his sons (PMs and deputy PMs) that he groomed - if Dr M really have Malaysia's interest at heart?
Dr M just want to leave a legacy of how great he is as a PaPa of Malaysia and no one else can match his achievement --- by hacking down all his successors --- this is the legacy Dr M want to leave behind.

Mahathir is getting dangerous.Reply
As a former PM, he very well know that such talk can start a riot in the streets.
And that is just his intention, but he will say he is just expressing himself.
