Citizens should not wait for saviors just some good men.

Do not wait for perfect candidates or clueless scholars now
Good men down to earth men with passion will be good enough,
They will run down andrews or others with lower qualifications and biodata,
But they have no idea what is passion and right attitude to serve
People must be practical and not be swayed by qualifications alone,
One good man of passion is better than all the yes men
Men with qualifications are too many now
But they are just clueless yes men used for self-glory and arrogance
Do not run the country on assumptions about qualifications
Qualifications alone cannot feed the people and solve problems,
So ask the next person who have questions whoever he may be
To stand and not deny any andrews to outnumber them,
That is the way to change. -
I agree that qualification does not works wonder.
But when it come to governing a country, we do need scholars to steer the helms afterall. This is an undeniable fact since ancient times.

We have a crop of promising politicians like Tan Liang Hong and Francis Seow and CSJ but they have been exiled and the existing ones are too mild and controlled who dare not raise any good and objective arguments except the stereotyped ones so as not to get into troubles. Through some kind of reverse psychology they would try to pretend that our existing oppositions are alive and well.
Actually they were hardly any news about the opposition MPs so as not to promote them. This state of political freedom is partly due to the fault of the people who easily believe their propaganda to discredit the oppositions like CSJ until the people frequently echo what the press are saying about him. This is how powerful brainwashing by the press can do to the people.
The leaders talk about inclusiveness and openness but our political freedom and process are dismally oppressive and people still do not understand.
If they want to be inclusive they should start with freeing up the whole political process from liberalizing the press to dismantling the GRC or allow proportional representation to make the change. -
Will you be standing for the coming election ? ............ -
Please read the thread - A New Political Movement. I do not mind to form a non-aligned new political movement to identify good candidates to stand for election as independents to serve the country with honour and integrity.Originally posted by Fatum:Will you be standing for the coming election ? ............
Personally I do not have a plan to stand for election but I will keep the option open. For the moment, I will let the formation of movement be my primary objective. -
A word of advice for Robert Teh. You are not ready yet. Not when you have such an anti attitude that clouds your perspective and judgment. If you continue down that path and try politics, you will end up like a fool CSJ. No doubt about it.

Lim Kim San - the masterbuilder and media czar

"That's why we will never get another cabinet like the one Lee had," he says. "We had various qualifications and backgrounds. That's what makes a good cabinet, not just 1st class degrees."
But bottom line, what does Lim really think of his old mate, Lee Kuan Yew? Some whisper that Lim, like other "old guard" leaders Toh Chin Chye, Ong Pang Boon, Jek Yeun Thong and Devan Nair, is sour toward Lee for the way he always insisted on being No. 1. The talk goes that Lee was lucky to catapult straight into the premiership since it suited his talent for oratory, vision, and strategic thinking. Had he needed to deal with the nuts and bolts of running a specific ministry, he might have come a cropper. If Lim shares this view, he keeps it to himself. Publicly, he says that without Lee's leadership, Singapore "would probably be like a third-world country now." -
