Maybe the Opposition's success in Malaysia will attract more capable Singaporeans to enter politics.
I was very impressed by the CVs of many of the younger Opposition politicians in Malaysia. Oxford educated, Harvard educated etc.
Not going to happen
Opposition has no leader worth their salt
something always happen to the opposition b4 election.
I believe most of our Oxonians and Havard grads are bonded to the government.

Actually, I think the BN's desire to absorb small parties into their coalition (14 parties now) in order to form a national unity government, has partly to do with its losses and caused its fragmentation.
These small parties would have fragmented the Malaysian opposition with 3-corner fights but in the end, UMNO has always to do lots of pacifying and brokering, distracting the BN leadership.

They also can join forces and form an alliance against the UMNO hegemon.
Perhaps so, but it's better for the BR (Barisan Rakyat) not to absorb more than 2. Leave the Peninsular ones alone, the Sarawak- and Sabah-based parties (8 in total) are worth courting.
Regards
Sarawak and sabah have more than 50 seats, so if they join BR, BN will be toppled. Actually Anwar is short of abt 30 seats only to form government. Malaysia is heading towards two party system which is good for the country. I hope singapore will have 2 party system too. PAP has governed too long. it is good for singapore to have change

Malaysia still carved into Malay, Chinese, Indian enclaves.
Given the right recipe and it is a situation waiting to happen. All it takes is the two the unhappy minorities groups to turn the tide on BN.Our god, PAP already calculated this and taken steps to ensure racial spread.
Also, with their KS attitude, they also taken an additional step to cover their backsides. Dishing out citizenship to grateful third world souls in exchange for vote loyalty.
when will this happen in SG... ?
When the Lees' go.. ?

PAP is related to DAP historically. Think they split after the separation of S'pore from M'sia.
In M'sia, it is race politics and in order to survive in their politics, one has got to play the race card to get the votes. After u come into power, then u go onto a more rational approach. Look at all the veteran politicians (as well as the new ones in UMNO), they are all playing this and need to play this well.
PKR represents a very fresh perspective of things by advocating abolishment of the NEP. But they are standing on very weak foundations as they draw their votes from a lot of Middle-Class Bumis, Chinese and Indians who are really still not a very strong majority in M'sia. In order to get to the poorer folks, u still need to play the race card and triumph policies (eg. NEP) that get their votes.
i see the people of Singapore are usually weak in their mental strength to believe what they would like to see and show a powerful vote in their choice of good government. they are easily enticed by temporary monetary relief and thus clouded in their judgement.
