does a religious based party in singapore works
-
if there is a religious based political party in singapore like PAS in malaysia do you think it will be able to gather as much supports as compared to other opposition parties?
-
And why should we have it in the first place?
-
Nope, as public religious discussions are not allowed, and Singapore is a secular nation. Unlike M'sia which is a declared Muslim Nation.Originally posted by Kheng Peng:if there is a religious based political party in singapore like PAS in malaysia do you think it will be able to gather as much supports as compared to other opposition parties? -
funny thing though ... we do have a race-based party in Singapore though ... one with close ties to UMNO no less ......
hmmmmm ........ -
in singapore context, no
we are a a mulireligious society
what would it be like if a single religion-based party dominate the political scene and at the same time push their own religious agenda?
-
Nah. The PAP will just accuse them of Marxism and next minute the whole lot of them will be exiled.

I really hope there will never be one....... Religious based Party tends to base their rule or law according to their religious. And that will not please everyone.

it will not work. WE are supportive of religious harmony. If we have religious based party as gahmen, I doubt we can maintain the religious harmony in Singapore.Originally posted by Kheng Peng:if there is a religious based political party in singapore like PAS in malaysia do you think it will be able to gather as much supports as compared to other opposition parties?
OUr government is doing well in maintaining religious harmony which I am very supportive of. -
It doesn't and such parties are a threat to national security. If such parties comes up wif extremist schemes, then there'll be so peace around the region.

You don't read your private messages? -
Do you honestly even think such a party will emerge before the ISD goes knocking on their doors?Originally posted by bila_prem:It doesn't and such parties are a threat to national security. If such parties comes up wif extremist schemes, then there'll be so peace around the region.
And then the whole lot of them will either be locked up or exiled. Oh please, all this fear is simply so misplaced that it will NEVER happen.
I'll be more worried the PAP finally gets around to declaring itself a dictatorship. -
