EDITOR’S NOTE: This post does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the webmaster. by See Leong Kit (The writer is a 62-year old S’porean who had completed full-time National Service) (1) Debunking the PAP Election Promises of “More Good Years”
1.1 News Headlines that have hardly changed during the past 20 years!!!: 2010 “7 in 10 children aged 6 – 16 has mental health disorders: IMH expert” (CNA 8 Nov 10) 2009 “More children, teenagers seeking help for mental problems” (CNA 9 Jan 09) “$35m more for mental health” (ST 16 Jan 09) 2006 “More teenagers seek help from psychiatrists” (TODAY 11 Apr 06) 2005 “Mental Health Plan targets younger pupils” (TODAY 27 Oct 05) 2001 “More S’pore children seeing psychiatrists” (ST 2 Mar 01) 2000 “Failing exams is what worries most children” (ST 21 Nov 00) 1999 “More parents taking kids to psychiatrists” (ST 11 Oct 99) 1992 “Counsellors act to stem rise in teenage suicides” (ST 28 Jul 92) 1.2 Never-ending PAP Political Sick Jokes: (a) “…WHAT TO DO? IT’S HAPPENED!..”
PM Lee Hsien Loong’s dumbfounded first comments after 10 days of embarassed DEAD SILENCE on the The Mas Selamat Great Escape Monumental Blunder (CNA 9 Mar 2008) (b) “…We want the family to be strong…” PM Lee Hsien Loong (MYP 3 Dec 2010) (2) How PAP Govt screw up the long-term future of Singapore & Singaporeans 2.1 The PAP Govt’s cunningly-clever Political Sins are too numerous to list down. But two such PAP Political Sins stand out as causing the MOST UNTOLD LONG-TERM damage to Singapore (The Nation) and Singaporeans (The People). Unable to credibly win the “hearts and minds” of the People through HUMILITY, SINCERITY and ABILITY, the increasingly-desperate PAP had to resort to these two deplorable cunningly-clever political ploys to “maintain its hold” on the People so as to “ensure its political longevity”:
(a) PAP Politics of FEAR: As in the cunningly-clever use of the law as a political weapon (through liberal resort to defamation lawsuits) to silence differing/dissenting views of the People. This has led to the PAP-induced Political Cancer* (commonly known as “Fear of Speaking Up”) that has afflicted the vast majority of Singaporeans for almost half-a-century.
[ "If nobody is afraid of me, I’m meaningless." –- SM Lee Kuan Yew, 6 Oct 1997 ]
[ "Supposing Catherine Lim was writing about me and not the prime minister... She would not dare, right? Because my posture, my response has been such that nobody doubts that if you take me on, I will put on knuckle-dusters and catch you in a cul de sac...." --- SM Lee Kuan Yew, The Man and His Ideas, 1997 ]
[ "Without the elected president and if there is A FREAK RESULT, within two or three years, THE ARMY have to come in and stop it" --- MM Lee Kuan Yew (ST 16 Sep 2006) ]
[ "FREEDOM is when you have nothing more to FEAR --- neither god, the devil, nor Lee Kuan Yew; neither death nor loneliness....you may quote me on that" --- Dr Catherine Lim (TODAY 18 Dec 2004) ]
[ "My view is that a politician must accept all the opinions FOR or AGAINST him as normal. They GO WITH THE JOB. I am leery of POLITICIANS WHO SUE THEIR CRITICS. This is A COWARDLY MOVE and in fact proves that the criticisms are fully justified." --- Dr Mahathir Mohamad 14 Jun 2010 ]
(b) PAP Politics of CONTROL: As in the cunningly-clever control/manipulation of the Mainstream Media to dish out mostly ”feel-good news” so as to “brain-wash and make brain-dead” as many Singaporeans as possible — thus turning Singapore into a Pathetic And Pathetic (PAP) Nation of “unthinking and unquestioning” yes-man people i.e. yes-man journalists, yes-man bureaucrats, yes-man citizens, yes-man unionised workers…. [ Former S'pore Chief Minister David Marshall's spot-on description of its Mainstream Media: "...PAP bootlickers, running dogs and poor prostitutes..." ]
If too many Singaporeans get to read the “good, bad and ugly news”, they will become politically-mature and self-reliant — as both traits will potentially threaten the political longevity of the Almighty Arrogant PAP !!!
The PAP Govt clearly do not give a damn that “unthinking and unquestioning” citizens will not be able to confidently face the many possible National Challenges that lay ahead for Little Red Dot Singapore.
2.2 At every Singapore General Elections, there are always fear-mongering PAP politicians who will warn/threaten Singapore Voters that if they vote for the Opposition, they will be voting in “a Dud Govt that will do Singapore in” (infamous words of that famous Octogenarian Politician, who will soon reach his “expiry date” on Planet Earth).
This what will actually “do Singapore in”: The PAP Arrogant/Autocratic/Authoritarian style of Political Governance, as manifested in this deplorable/disgraceful/disgusting Political Mindset: WE know ALL! WE know BEST!
WE are ALWAYS RIGHT!
WHO are YOU (daft, ungrateful, champion-grumbler, lesser-mortal, poor-peasant Singaporean) to dare QUESTION us (much less CRITICISE us) ? [ "WE decide what is right. NEVER MIND what the people think." --- PM Lee Kuan Yew (ST 20 Apr 1987) ]
[ "WE are deaf to all criticisms" --- $2m PAP "Zorro" Minister Lim Swee Say (ST 4 Mar 2010) ] 2.3 Difference between a “Competently-Clever CARING Govt” and a “Cunningly-Clever UNCARING Govt”:
(a) A Competently-Clever CARING Government is one that will do its utmost to SERVE THE PEOPLE through keeping the COST OF LIVING at affordable levels by providing basic social services — such as housing, education, healthcare, transport, security — at lowest-possible and cost-efficient prices/charges.
(b) A Cunningly-Clever UNCARING Government (which will do Singapore in) is one that will think of many cunningly-clever ways to “milk as much of the people’s hard-earned monies as possible” — such as “do HDB flatbuyers in” through pricing supposedly low-cost public-housing new flats at a cleverly-disguised profit using the cunningly-clever and misleading word of “market subsidy”.
(3) PAP Self-Delusional Self-Praise Finally Shattered – (AFTER the Mas Selamat Great Escape Monumental Blunder) After 8 days of embarassed DEAD SILENCE following the escape: MM Lee Kuan Yew commented on the incident for the first time, saying Mas Selamat’s escape is a “VERY SEVERE lesson in COMPLACENCY. It shows that it is a fallacy, it is stupid to believe we are infallible. WE ARE NOT INFALLIBLE. One mistake and we’ve got a big explosion in our midst. So let’s not take this LIGHTLY.” (ST 8 Mar 2008) – (BEFORE the Mas Selamat Escape Fiasco) MM Lee Kuan Yew singing the praises of PM Lee Hsien Loong’s Cabinet: “If Singapore gets a dumb government, the country is done for.
That is why Singapore needed an extraordinary government, filled with top talent… If Singapore ever loses this kind of government of capability and integrity, it will just sink into nothingness…… Our women will become maids in other countries — foreign workers.” (TODAY 5.4.07/ST 23.4.07)
S’pore Voters say: This Old Man who likes to sue people so much should be given a dose of his own medicine. Filed under: Voices of the People
