most of you don't know what is politics lah...
-
people like to act smart and give opinions about the elections but how many of us really what is good for us.
humans, and singaporeans, can only make their ends meet in their own life, so for goodness sake, dun act as if commoners know what is right on a national level.
a lot of commoners also like to blame this, blame that but never themselves i find. but at the end of the day, the problem lies in the fact that people themselves are "cannot make it" people.
so at the end of the day, after this election, please spend 49 days, upgrading and improving your own personal character, intelligence and personality first before you talk about biggers things.
human are really pathetic, but it is just our destiny that we are so plain stupid and ignorant. -
Lwflee, WILCO - OUT!

The young PAP has approached me several times to ask me to join them, but so far I have declined, coz I told them that till the day I believe I can serve the people, I won't even think about entering politics. End of the day, I can't convince myself that I will enter it for non-selfish reasons
do u honestly think many of our leaders know what is right on a national level? If a leader does not even know why the people are upset, and insist a 66% mandate is a strong one, and did not think thru on why the 34% voted against them, then does he really understand what needs to be done on a national level? -
hmmm...precisely.
Come to think of it...Chiam's post-victory speech is much more modest and sincere....saying that he thanked everyone who voted for him and would seek to find out why the rest did not vote for him and see if he could served them better.
-
So, I take it that you know what's politics, january?
With your condescending and arrogant method of presenting your own viewpoints, I honestly wonder whether you actually have the capacity to think logically and have an open-minded view of things.
Enough said. I believe I have slugged you enough in this thread: http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=189479
I've got better fish to fry than to duke it out with you across multiple threads. You're not worth the effort. -
Their way of doing things is most despicable and cheapo I can ever think of; and they are supposed to be scholars. You don't need a PHD in politics to see, all you need is a common sense.

You can see people approaching Mr Chiam with real eagerness, much more than the rest of the politicians, to me, he's a statesman. -
You said it is our 'destiny' to be stupid and ignorant. That makes you stupid and ignorant too right? Who can after all deny something as powerful as destiny?Originally posted by january:people like to act smart and give opinions about the elections but how many of us really what is good for us.

We are but sheep destined for the slaughter house. The end is already decided. But we are too distracted by the promise of green pastures to see that yet. By the time we realize what is happening, why we are fatted with feed, it is already too late. -
whatever numbers of votes u get is just numbers...
though PAP won 66%,
its fact that it was a 9% drop from 2001...
and it was not what PM Lee wanted (though they covered it up)..
I like Ong Ah Heng's frank comments...
he said he was disappointed with himself as they set a target of 80% for this election at nee soon east, he will look into what went wrong and work on it...
well...that's what i call GENTLEMAN!
Be humble and respect people's decision...
In a society whereby everything is against Opposition, 34% is a great victory.
And dear friend,
If you think people are shallow and stupid,
then that was the stupidest comment i saw so far.
Do Not Overestimate yourself!!!
Although i agree with you to certain extend that many folks do not even know who they voting for...my friend's family all voted for PAP...
why?
his dad told him..."if vote for opposition will kana jail one...bo bian la.."
so... I said opposition done well enough, though alittle disappointing Aljunied slipped out of hand. -
Eh....why everyone like quite blur about the expectations ah?
Right from the beginning on nomination day, everyone who is not a sec student already know that PAP not going to get 75% already!
66% considered very strong already! It's the norm during the 90s......... -

To quote a very well-worded blog article from Alex Au, author of www. Yawning bread.org:Perhaps he hadn't had an easy life. Perhaps he had been a hawker or a house-painter, informal jobs with nothing by way of a pension. In his old age, he might have a mountain of financial worries. Worse yet, life and society as he knew it in his younger days were disappearing. The dialects are gone from official speak, in their place, not Mandarin, but Angmoh (English). Medical and hospital costs are stratospheric compared to what he had known 3 decades ago. Even taking a bus downtown costs more than taking the taxi in days gone by.
Perhaps, only now you begin to realise that 'commoners' know more than you think, and that your shallow helicopter view of what you deem 'commoners' mirrors the despicable and arrogant nature of the Ruling Party.
Meanwhile the richer have gotten richer. And the government talks the incomprehensible language of foreign investment, foreign talent, GDP, globalisation, creativity and the arts.
He would not have understood any of this, but he didn't mind that. What was important for him tonight, was that for once, a politician had articulated his sense of loss, his insecurity and his bewilderment at the galloping pace of change.
I don't know what the solutions are, he would have said. I don't understand half the stuff that ministers talk about anyway. But it doesn't matter. What matters is that tonight, I heard someone speak eloquently what I feel. And if he knows what I feel, then I can trust him to do something.
Of course, not everything can be fixed. I've lived long enough to know there will be no magic solutions. I'm not expecting any; just a little improvement is all I ask. Speak for me to the powers that be and give me hope. Do that, and I'll put my trust in you.
We don't understand politics until we understand that
~commenting on the possible reasons for an elderly man seen crying just after Low Thia Khiang's strong rally at Hougang
Even in obvious moral defeat they remain in self-denial, insisting that the 'STRONG MANDATE' target was achieved.
The figures don't lie.
Lim Boon Heng should receive the 'Party Whip' for first-class stupidity and plain complacency. -

ever wondered what politics mean or how it came together, well here is sone food for thought,
the word "poli" is an italian word for the word "many"
and the word "tics" are the bloodsucking creatures that suck any animal/human of all their blood to their death.
Sum it together what do you get????
truth is democracy is just a curtain over communism -
You are indeed right about the part that COMMONERS (like you and I) DON'T know what is really good for us on a Political Platform. However, please do remember and note, that it is US COMMONERS (you and I again) that gave those up on their high-chairs the power to RULE.Originally posted by january:people like to act smart and give opinions about the elections but how many of us really what is good for us.

Yes, indeed make ends meet is our main concern. We make a pitance to get by, while those we elected draw exhorbitant salaries. Doesn't this at least give us some degree of RIGHT to question and comment on our Political Leaders???
By the way, based on your comments on people as "cannot make it people", you yourself don't sound like you have made it either.
It takes all kinds of people to make this world tick. If this world is made of "successful and intellectual people" like yourself, we'd likely be at WAR right about now... -
Hello January,
please don't go and hide. Come back in here.
Don;t start a fire and then go and hide under your bed.
I like to meet you on the streets and see how tough your really look... -
okay. i admit that i was exaggeratting too much when i tok about the 49 days thing.
however, it is the truth that human are ignorant in general. they do have some level of reasonings but usually their reasonings are insufficient and incomplete.
biasness and selective opinions is our characterisitcs, hence i would encourage that while you all are entitled to your beliefs dun be too sure of it.
aristotle belief that time is absolute. but he was wrong.
einstein held some fundamental beliefs about particle behavior but he was wrong in some sense found but later scientists.
therefore, we must always check that our beliefs are not biased and fool proof in politics as well as in other aspects of life.
however, introspection is something which peole dunno how to do it. -

Thanks for teaching me wat is politics... I shall just stay quiet and obedient from now on and let our great PAP royals decide on the fate of us the commoners. I shall blame all the high transport and medical fees, overpriced HDB housings and unemployment due to cheap foreign competitions all on myself. The PAP knows best, and they really deserve the obscene salaries paid to them for taking care and planning for the future of a bunch of stupid and ignorant commoners like me.Originally posted by january:people like to act smart and give opinions about the elections but how many of us really what is good for us.

And so what is wrong with that?
Aristotle believed time was absolute but he was wrong. However, that din stop him from believing and to attempt to present his own views. Even though he was wrong in the end, he managed to make others think and discover that time was not absolute.
Einstein had some wrong fundamental beliefs at that time, but that din stop him from becoming a great scientist.
The thing is, you are who you are. If you think that you are pathetic, you will forever be pathetic.
I don't attempt to say that I am right in my reasonings and my opinions, nor do I wish to force my views upon others. However, to the best of my abilities, I hold my own reasonings and opinions, and am willing to accept and change if others prove me wrong.
That is the way of the human spirit. Who here is God, who is all-knowing (and note that in this point, human beings BELIEVED He is all-knowing. If we go by your idea, then God may NOT be all-knowing)? Believe in something to the best of your abilities and go for it. If wrong, change and try again.
That is how we learn, thru incorrect opinions, trying them, and then tweaking them again and again.
If a human being has no opinions of his own, and does not even believe in himself, then this human being has no way of breaking out of his current status, and proceeding to attempt to reach another level of nirvana.
And by the way, Opinions and Beliefs ARE BIASED, coz the words themselves hold a certain meaning of biasness. As human beings, we can only be as objective as we are able to. Coz by nature, all of us are emotional.Originally posted by january:okay. i admit that i was exaggeratting too much when i tok about the 49 days thing.

Check your grammar.....cannot respond to a sentence with bad grammar.
a lot of commoners also like to blame this, blame that but never themselves i find. but at the end of the day, the problem lies in the fact that people themselves are "cannot make it" people.
Of course...thats why people pay tax for. The Government and civil servants are paid through the people's taxes. They have a duty to do things for the people and think what the "commoners" cannot think. And if they cannot do it we blame them, and if necessary change them. It happens everywhere. Any quarrel on that ???
so at the end of the day, after this election, please spend 49 days, upgrading and improving your own personal character, intelligence and personality first before you talk about biggers things.
WRONG. Upgrading and improving is an everlasting thing that should go on until you expire in this world. And who is the judge to say whether you have improved ??? As for talking about bigger things, everybody is entitled to his opinion just like you are entitled to yours.
human are really pathetic, but it is just our destiny that we are so plain stupid and ignorant.
You contradict with your earlier statement above. If "it is just our destiny that we are so plain stupid and ignorant", how can we "spend 49 days, upgrading and improving your own personal character, intelligence and personality"???
Now who is trying to be smart ?
