The silent majority are already living in fear, with a unique number behind every ballot paper which is matched against the voter, THEY DO NOT WANT TO RISK BEING THE NEXT GOPALAN NAIR OR CEE SOON JUAN. <br /><br />2. People are feeling that the lives are comfortable - because they are being served by live-in maid who are only entitled to 1-day leave every 1 or 2 months. They do not want to live in the type of country the maid come from. THEY ARE AFRAID OF FREAK ELECTION RESULTS.<br /><br />3. Singaporeans have never experience a different government from PAP. IN FACT, THEY STILL THINK PAP IS SINGAPORE. They have no experience of real democracy or their own human rights. They have no idea how civil society works.<br /><br />4. The candidates are all the same, all connected to the PAP government. Those who are not pro PAP have been filtered out in the Eligibly process. SO, WHAT IS THE POINT OF VOTING OTHER CANDIDATES WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE A TRAP SET BY THE PAP TO CATCH DISLOYAL CITIZENS.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-88093929078254334262011-08-26T15:04:31.577-07:002011-08-26T15:04:31.577-07:00Singapore politics turn feisty amid president vote...Singapore politics turn feisty amid president vote<br /><br />Choi Bee Tong makes for an unusual political rebel, especially in straight-laced Singapore.<br /><br />The 73-year-old retired school teacher plans to vote Saturday for opposition politician Tan Jee Say to be the next president,<br /><br />Choi brought her two toddler grandchildren earlier this week to a raucous rally with 30,000 Tan supporters<br /><br />"I think many Singaporeans like me would like to have a president who serves a bigger role, instead of being a PAP puppet," Choi said.

These presidential election don't appear to be more than new wine in old bottle. Look at the candidates. Tan Jee Say? He was a PAP man who claimed that he could not even criticize the PAP at the SDP! The others? Has anyone questioned the abuse of the law to stifle dissent? Questioned the violation of the Constitution on the lack of a free press etc? Has anyone argued that Chee Soon Juan should be allowed to contest them? <br />Simply none. I don't think it is going to be anything else than the same old wayang. For instance why do you think so much coverage is being given to Tan Jee Say by the State Controlled Press?<br /><br />I would be very happy to be proved wrong but really I don't see what you see.Gopalan Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399145588654603667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-11057195308196694662011-08-25T20:50:08.768-07:002011-08-25T20:50:08.768-07:00Thanks for keeping this blog alive.
