its easier said than done leh........ i tink my area kena walked over this year AGAIN!!!
Tang insisted that the "shit-pot cover" must be lifted from parliament to expose the inner goings on.The public for instance should know how much each MP was worth and where and how he or she made their money. He said, with PAP ministers getting such high salaries, what we have in Singapore is "legalised corruption".
Asked about the charges of chauvinism levied against him by the ruling party, Tang said that the basic problem with his candidacy was that he was able to move the Chinese ground. Although he was in social contact with many of the PAP leaders, when he contested in the general elections, they branded him as anti-Christian and a Chinese chauvinist.
This was calculated to push the minorities and the English-educated Christians away from him. More importantly to also cause dissension among the Chinese community. From a public relations point of view, the Chinese community would not want to come out looking like a chauvinist in multi-ethnic Singapore.
Thus painting him as a multi-chauvinist was a strategy the PAP adopted as Tang was perceived as an important political threat to the regime's hold on power. When asked whether there are other Chinese leaders that might take over from where he left off, he said that presently most were scared and were not prepared to stand up in a public way against the PAP.
Nevertheless, he said the Chinese as well as the other minorities needed to reclaim control from the PAP, as the ruling party rhetoric marginalises everyone who explores the ethnic issue as attempting to sow discord and chaos. In fact by continually painting the discussion of religion and ethnicity as taboo subjects, the PAP maintains the upper hand on how it harnesses such issues for its own political advantage.

His opponents had to search back as far as 1994 in order to find quotes they could use against him, and even then they had to take his words out of context in order to frighten non-Chinese Singaporeans from voting for him.
His views, he says, were misrepresented in order frighten people from voting for him.
"They branded me as a Chinese Chauvinist. Up to this moment, they have spared no efforts in distracting the public’s attention from my arguments in order to frighten off the non-Chinese Singaporeans. My candidacy for the opposition triggered off the PAP’s nerve system. I am a cross-cultured breed and can cross cultural and language barrier." Tang speaks English and Malay as well as Mandarin. "This touches the core policy of Singapore and the PAP – ‘Divide and rule.’"
