Neither do I want to be blindfolded and told to turn left and right like dumb sheep. Nothing to do with your station in life. Please, only your opinions.Originally posted by mancha:Come on, all government sucks.
Every country in the world has people who are satisfied with their government and also people who are not happy with it.
It will always be that way no matter how the government is.
And Singapore is not going to be the first country in the world to have everyone satisfied with the government.
I am also not happy with the Singapore government, because I was retrenched in its economic restructuring, and I have not recovered from it and never will. I don't know if Singaporeans are really better off from the restructuring, maybe some are, I only know that I am not among them. But I do not go cursing the government, because I still have my life, my home, my family, my health, and I am grateful for what I have. I am only poorer in this millennium than I was in the 1990's. I was driving a car then, now I ride a motorcycle. Not too bad.
I am also not interested in National Day anymore.
I am glad there are no car bombs in the market, and that I won't be blindfolded and shot in the back of the head. -

My question to Lee Senior is, if one day the 'stupid' singaporeans do indeed vote the ruling party out of office 'en masse', will they humbly and graciously step aside?

Abstract from The Straits Time wednesday March 7 2007
Singapore's brand of democracy works because the Government gives the country's citizens every reason to vote for it at elections, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said yesterday.
The country has maintained the principal of British democracy, that the electorate can vote a government out peacefully.
"But we have engineered it so carefully that they must be very stupid to vote this government out" he added.
The government solved the housing problem by building public housing using Central Provident Fund(CPF) money. These flats are then sold to Singaporeans at [b]cost price.
For the Singapore citizen, his flat is "something substantial" that he owns and has to pay instalments for.
"So he must have a job. If you change the government, you have no jobs, the house is taken back," Mr Lee said.
And as the flats become old after 20 to 30 years, the government upgrades the buildings, subsidising 80 per cent of the cost.
"suddenly, overnight your property goes up in value. Now you find another government that will do that. If you think you can, you try," he said.
The Americans try to prescribe democracy by saying governments should allow free association, demonstrations and free press, he said.
"Here you want to hold a demontration, you must have a permit first."
As for his critics who say he is authoritarian, Mr Lee had this reply:"I say,'never mind'.
"Do they vote for me? Do i stuff the ballot boxes? No. Is it a secret vote? Yes. Do i win?
"Do i win 99 per cent? No. I win by 61 or 65 or 67 per cent."
The highest percentage of votes he ever won was 88 percent, he recounted.
"That was the year the British decided to get out and sell everything. So i immediately held an election. i knew the people will be dead scared."

Ask him to die first.
Then we will know if we can't live without him.
Hehehe......... -
the thing is LKY is the pillar of PAP, how do you remove this pillar, only until the day, someone is able to replace, which i don't see any person can do so at this moment, even his son, only one word, to describe him, he try to implement too many thing at one timeOriginally posted by BillyBong:My question to Lee Senior is, if one day the 'stupid' singaporeans do indeed vote the ruling party out of office 'en masse', will they humbly and graciously step aside?
Can Lee Senior do that?
he is going to lose alot of vote at the next GE -
well if he built singapore but maybe also destroy it later then people will consider him father or destroyer?Originally posted by allentyb:why do people wants to go riot against him, its not as if, he has not contribute anything to singapore? i still consider him as the father of singapore.
I fear of him, not fear him

How come many of the latest MPs fielded are malaysians? Nothing against malaysians but I thought MPs and Ministers should be true blue Singaporeans, instead of from foreign countries.
