GCT situation now is like Chen Sui Bian
-
I have also been following the taiwanese news.
Although they are very passionate and emotional about the party they support (Just like a soccer fan), they are not afraid to step forward to voice and fight for their right.
Maybe it is due to the location of their island as they are faced with earthquake and typhoon every now and then, it have strengthened their inner spirit to protect their home land.
The locals are more or less brain-washed by their parents that they cannot voice out their opinions openly.
It have arrived to a pathetic state that we are keeping silent even being bullied time after time by greedy poodles.
We forget to lead our life and end up like our grandfather from china.

Are the Taiwanese politically mature compared to Singaporeans ?Do they know their rights and practise democracy better than Singaporeans ?
Compared to the Singaporeans, the Taiwanese are more fiery, more emotional, and more loudly vocal in their politics than Singaporeans - perhaps one may attribute these to the characterisitcs of their "Fu-ching" or "Hokkien" ethnic lineage.
For 51 years, Singaporeans have been - and continue to be - subjected to the strong arm ONE Man rule even as this is thinly hidden behind a thin veneer of western style democracy.
The Taiwanese has been more fortunate in that the strong arm ONE Man rule of Generalisimo Chiang Kai-shek began to crumble with his death in 1978, and with his son Chiang Ching-kuo continuing the father's authoritarian rule even as he projected a more benevolent face.
With the death of Chiang Ching-kuo in 1988, his own appointed successor in Lee Teng Hui began the process of political liberalisation - as Chiang Ching-kuo failed to see the treachery of Lee's well hidden agenda as a Taiwanese Nationalist, and had believed that Lee Teng Hui will continue with Chiang Kai-shek's agenda of regaining Kuomintangs return to power on Mainland China.
With Lee Teng Hui's taking control of all political power as the annointed successor to the Chiang's legacy, and with his firm grip on the Kuomintang - Lee began to dismantle the authoritarian rule of the Chiang's legacy and to give his own Taiwanese people the political freedom after decades of political subjugation by those whom he sees as Mainland Chinese.
The Taiwanese have found political freedom, and the rejuvenation of new found personal liberties that have long been suppressed, and we see their full expression in all the different forms - both exuberant and destructive.
Lee Teng Hui practically engineered the defeat of the Kuomintang in favor of Chen Shui-bian Democratic Party, which continued Lee Teng Hui's agenda to push for Taiwan's independence.
Lee Teng Hui was subsequently thrown out of the Kuomintang.
Are Singaporeans politically less mature, or are the Singaporeans not a subjugated lot like the Taiwanese before the end of the Chiang's legacy ?
Will the entrenched political institutions of the PAP - in all spheres of the Civil Service, in all the Government Linked Corporations, and all grass-root organisations - result in political chaos if ever an Alternative Political Party should take over the seat of the Government ?
It seems that LKY has designed a system of self-destruct mechanism to sabotage any other incoming Political Party that succeed to take over political power.
Is this the legacy that LKY will leave behind for Singaporeans ?

What nonsense are you talking about! LKY usually ruins his enemies financially and not gives them money!

If the oppositions were to take over, there is no guarantee that the PAP will do a good job in handing over. I guess they will be overwhelmed by their bitterness.
