One people, one nation, one Singapore, so you say we need someone better than LKY and LHL now, I am all for that if that better person shows up. I think that Singaporeans now are well versed and educated enough to know when the better person shows up. Until then, we have got to work with what we've got. I for one would love to see what would happen if the opposition (whoever that might be) were voted in for a change... don't go on complaining if you get your wish and these other people stuff things up even more...
If only... we get to vote for presidential elections.... What happened to the last 2 rounds?
Originally posted by breytonhartge:I really don't see what all the complaining is about. Every government in EVERY country has its faults. And everyone can say that they can do better in another person's shoes. Singapore has done better than most and can still do better. Can the PAP do better? Of course. Have they done a good job? Probably.
The bottom line is how one chooses to see the situation. There are positives and negatives in all. You choose whether you see the glass as half full or half empty. Just be grateful that you did not have to go through the hard times when Singapore was being built up.
People are very good at criticising when they are not doing the job. Walk a mile in another person's shoes before deciding to make a lot more noise?
Exactly what I have said in a few previous threads in SC.
I am non-partisan, but the PAP bashers here have the attitude: If-you-are-not-with-us, you-are-against-us.
I critise where criticism is due, praise where praise is due. But for these PAP bashers, any subject is to be turned into an opportunity to bash the PAP.
The one that takes the cake is where a loony post pretending to be a girl and express his sexual wants in this political forum, that also attracted PAP bashing.
Your appeal for reason is in vain here.
