Paying The Price

New faces on the block
According to official spiel, this general election is supposed to decide on the team which will set the direction for Singapore for the next 50 years. Yet only 9 days - the minimum period under current election laws - is set aside for the electorate to vet the new players. This looks more like speed dating on steroids.

While the alternate voices - a better term than the derisive opposition label - struggle for a seat in parliament to represent our wishes for a better future, the incumbents have a string of hangers on lined up to ride coat-tails into office. A quick survey of the day jobs they are jettisoning in favour of entering politics suggests that monetary reward has to be a prime motivator:
  • former Syariah Court deputy registrar Rahayu Mahzam, 35
  • deputy director at a polytechnic, Darryl David, 44
  • assistant general manager at some child care outfit, Joan Pereira, 47
  • foreign exchange research head at a Malaysia bank, Saktiandi Supaat, 41
  • corporate lawyer - please, not another overcharging Alvin Yeo - Amrin Amin, 36
  • an animal activist, Louis Ng, 37
Even a former Assistant Commissioner of Police can expect a hefty hike in take home pay. As for the executive director of a homegrown investment, trading and management consulting firm, the game changer has to be "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire".

Goh Chok Tong begs to  differ, he is saying the electorate are the ones being seduced. In his equivalent of the horrible person's call for repentence, he admonishes:
"And if the (Marine Parade) people are not careful, they will be seduced... they will pay a price."

Goh has a curious choice in turn of phrase, accusing the alternate parties of "looking for plunder". Another $3 billion has just been announced to seduce the senior citizen's vote, on top of the Pioneer Generation Package goodies. Coming in at a time when industrial output has shrunk for 6 months in a row - with potential to drag the economy into technical recession - one has to ask where the money is coming from. Ask nicely, not the way Chee Soon Juan once did:
"Mr Goh! Mr Goh! Come here Mr Goh! I want to talk with you, come here! Where is our money Mr Goh? You can run, but you cannot hide."

    And who is accusing whom of being arrogant?

    /// Opposition parties come and go like nomads ///

    Shooting himself in the foot and putting said foot in his mouth. What is the cause of these nomads? It is your own Electoral Boundaries Review Committee. By their gerrymandering, many incumbents and candidates found themselves to be nomads. But uniquely Singapore, it is not the nomads who roam about, it is the land that move about. Tin Pei Ling became a nomad, not because she moved, but because her constituency moved from Marine Parade to MacPherson. Who is going to be the nomad to replace Raymond Lim in Fengshan?

    Want to know a true nomad? That asshole doctor who was a son of Punggol, but now not sure where is going to be a son of?

    4. Goh is arrogant to think himself as dispensable by virtue of being a former PM. What exactly has he been doing the last 4 years as an MP other than vainly holding the title ESM (extremely stupid man?)
      Voters should do well to remember that he was the one who started the FT and privatisation of public services that causes all the problems we have today.
      Voters in Marine Parade should do well to send him into permanent retirement if he doesn't know what that means.

  2. //Want to know a true nomad? //

    With the rate the population target numbers jumped, leaped, triple-jumped from 2m to 3m, then 4m, then 5m, 5.5m and now 6.9m and one lewd tiger "dropped all pretense" and "roared" for 10m. Some say not unthinkable to work on 20m, 30m ...... So "Want to know a true nomad" in 5, 10, 15 years onwards.....?

    No prize for the correct guess .....

    Sinkies it could be .... A "decimated" people in time to come ...... send scattering all over 3rd world Asia, Africa etc to be nomads grazing and scavenging the world's rubbish dumps like some 3rd world kids for whatever salvageable to eke out a subsistent existence.

    From "More Good Years" to "Swiss Standard of Living " to "Future nomads seduced to run like dogs after some meats thrown at them", sinkies are asked to trust someone who had precided over the introduction of COE, ERP, GST, CPF minimum scheme, leg open big big policy, literally sky-high prices pigeon holes programme ....... Etc etc.

    All kinds of adjectives have been used to deride sinkies from "daft" to "vile" to "xenophobic", "lazy", "not hard driving", "need to be spurred in the hides", and now the latest "nomads" ...... What other adjectives they have for sinkies in the mind .....? "Slaves", "Refugees" ,"Kong Cums" .......?

      You will never know when you will be eaten up, sold off ( as "slaves, maids and worst prostitutes " ) or downgraded to Z grade citizens in your own place of birth ....?

      The last 25 years since 1990 is "living and anecdotal" examples what could happen and far worst to come down the road ......

    The fact that they needed to revive has-been host of the 70s-90s spells desperate seduction. Still sticking to playing the same old game to see the rise of the "lucky sevens"!

    Among the good, the bad and the ugly, this one definitely is bad. Then again, maybe that's what LHL means by the collective responsibility, aka group thinking.

    1. An unnamed person once said

      “The whole of Chinese history knows no opposition, only good government and bad government. They accept if the Government is good for them. They are not attuned to Western democracy.//

      How simplistic is this thinking then and now? Why then are all our leaders educated in the west if they are not a believer of the democratic system? They lump an entire multi-racial nation aspirations into a soundbite of an 5000 years imperial system of one-party-governance and turned it into an superior du jour for their own self interest and entrenching power! Do our minority citizens accept that?

      A generation of educated young and middle class people will believe in that spiel? How do we bin this sort of arrogant and outmoded thinking? Smart electorate didn't always have to get angry in order to vote out the excess droids in Parliament who tries to seduce and threaten them with wayang fit for ghost month only. They can calmly go about and quietly help build and support genuine credible parties and voices.

  4. SM Goh is trying to pull another fast one with singapore electorates again. Using his own "personal connections" he was able to get funding support to try out child edu initiatives on the ground. He said he can't promise it will be around if he didn't get the votes. In other words is conditional. Vote me or get nothing? This is the same method that Desmond tried to use in Hougang. A business sponsorship from the Rotary club who "offered" to build flushed toilets if he gets elected. Once again, do Singaporean voters agree and allow this sorts of business lobbyists coming into political play?!! This is a slippery slope and the price to pay is even more severe if we allow this sort of veiled threat and ugly trend to even take precedent. We have allowed them to do that to fix and deny opposition wards residents that didn't vote for the incumbent. And now, the cancer has spread and it continues to run with such arrogance that they have the right to do that.

    To stop such ugly behavior is to vote en-masse or half the seats and they will be forced to behave and play fair to ALL wards they lost so they cannot continue to be selectively meting out punishments at their whims and fancies that is unbecoming. Discerning electorate must exercise their rights to send the right message.

    Say NO to injustice, inequality and undemocratic actions.

    1. Kway Teow Fable8/27/2015 2:27 PM

      There was once this char kuay teow stall that was very good. The flavours were intense, fried with enough wok hey, and very generous with the ingredients. But the old hawker passed away, and the stall was handed to his son. "We fried great kuway teow for 50 years!" he proclaimed. Problem is, he wasn't as good -- some people felt that the standard wasn't there anymore. It was clear he skimped on the ingredients as well. And he raised the price of the char kuay teow, relying on the reputation his father built. People wondered how long more he would stay in business. It is puzzling to me, but people would still queue for the kuay teow. Then the queue starts to dwindle but the advert of its heyday is still hanging on the stall front. Locals stop buying from him so he arranged with a savvy business folks to create a franchise brand and do all sorts of publicity. Soon, the queue would return but mostly from tourists and new locals who didn't know "better".

    2. //He said he can't promise it will be around if he didn't get the votes.//
      This statement proves that his fair weather friends are hanging around because of the perceived political pull. Once he is kicked out, he will discover none of them will even give him the time of day. Reminds me of Teh Cheang Wan's daughter's lament: after her father was investigated by the CPIB, the usually busy telephone was suddenly silent. And "friends" don't answer their calls either.

    3. PAP politicians are very good at ripping from URA master plans and shamelessly use it as their "visions" for their own GRCs hor.

      You think the airport will stop building if PAP is not running govt? The SMRT train lines will stop constructing if Oppositions are voted in? The new town old towns will not be built if they lose the wards? The police and defence will stop spending if they are no longer in charge?

      Are we running seriously a nation or have we been running fiefdoms? Use your brains lah. IF a nation can only run because of a few elites' connections, then we can all go join the peoples power of Berseh 4.0 and return to mothership instead of still looking at languishing around the only PAP 4.0 !!!

    What "price"?

    4. 5) Asset Enhancement Policy that caused property prices and cost of living to skyrocket and kill off birth rate ( TFR was at a 1.83 when Lao Goa took over in1990 but plunged to 1.25 when he handed over by 2004. His high cost of living policies such as COE, ERP, GST, all contributed to the rapid escalation of COL, unbearable working life pressure to keep up with ever skyrocketing living cost, resulting in irreveraible terminal decline in birth rate/ TFR ).

    5. 6) Opening of floodgate of Aliens in 1990 and increased their population by 33% or 1 million just between 1990 to 2000. The damaged was done and shifted sinkieland's economy from GKS era of high value-add low labour-intensive to Low Value-Add High Labour-Intensive service industries that need ever more cheap 3rd world labour to sustain.

    6. 7) Initiated millions $$$ world highest pay for politicians but continuing unstoppable dishing out of policies that harmed sinkies and sinkieland long term interests for short term myopic economics interests such as skyrocketing property prices that permanently blunted sinkieland's exports competitiveness resulting in sinkieland making another policy blunder to correct his earlier flawed policies by going into dirty and immoral vice trades such as gambling and proliferation of the prostitution industry in Geylang and all over sinkieland. Now Internet, heartland areas etc easily have prostitution door to door service and illegal brothels operating out of residential units both in HDB and private housing estates. Just Google and you can browse tons of illegal sex services. ( in the past few years ago, even under aged gals were involved and many men including some from high society were arrested for paid sex with them ). The social fabric is permanently undone and more or less made irreparable! A terminable decline vicious cycle permanently set in motion with policies to correct earlier mistakes becoming bigger problems which need even more drastic measures to correct but leading to ever snowballing problems ......... Solutions to solve current problems in turn become future problems. .... what else to say but a gazillion face palms?

    7. 8) Failure to reverse many Stop at 2 policies from 1990 up to 2004 when he stepped down despite iron-clad and irrefutable evidences pointing to rapidly deteriorating birth rate/ TFR.

( Such policies were only abolished and reversed in 2004 onwards when PM3 took over but IT WAS TOO LATE! Irreparable damages wete already done to sinkies and sinkieland's long term demographic and population policies. PM3 has no choice but to continue leg open big big policies to sustain the economy. )

  8. Haha. ....

    I feel like wanting to apologize for the things I gonns say, however, on second thought; choose ti laugh instead.

    I am a secondary schoik dropout born in 1951 and literally grown up under the control of the Most Horrible Man name Lee Kuan Yew.

    As a young boy, I got to see how young men and girls in my village had to make their escape in the Wee Hours to escape from being detained as communists. Some failed to make it and were jailed. In a way those detained could be said to be luckier than those that managed to escape as the Latter were mostly permanently lost by their families.

    Over the years, Lee Kuan Yew managed to have Sinkies overwhelmingly brainwashed and those who earlier branded and called him(LKY) 走狗'running dog; meaning not independent but beholden to others, ironically became running dogs to Lee Kuan Yew. Those that made the about turn were almost exclusively Chinese educated and many are fiercely loyal dogs of the Horrible Man though he is dead. Many of these dogs became business folks are financially comfortable. Amongst them were, are Union Members who were, are well rewarded for getting workers to embrace the Tripartite co-operations amongst the Rulers, Employers and Employees. No elaboration is needed as almost all Sinkies know NTUC and its' Relationship with PAP.

    For over 50 years, DAFT Sinkies pride themselves for being Sinkies claiming to be the MOST SUCCESSFUL AND FANTASTIC CITIZENS OF A RESOURCE-LESS TINY ROCK TILL THIS VERY HOUR.
    Sinkies are not just proud, they are conceited and boisterous about themselves. Pretty loud in making claims that without PAP and the so-called Founding Father of Din, they could have became....... (fill it up as You deem fit).
    IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE SUCCESS OF SINKIES IS NOT
    DUE TO THEIR VERY OWN HARD WORKS
    BUT
    GIVEN TO THEM BY LEE KUAN YEW AND HIS PAPPIES.

    Today, as much as HALF THE SINKIE POPULATION IS BLAMING THE POLICIES WHICH THEY(SINKIES) SUPPORTED FOR 50 YEARS FOR THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE FACING NOW.
    HOW THE HELL IS THIS SO?
    YET,
    YES, YET THERE ARE STILL MANY SINKIES TELLING OTHER SINKIES TO BE GRATEFUL TO THE RULERS FOR LEADING THEM TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY AND INTO THE FUTURE. LOL...

    1. To this group of running dogs, they have no principles.
      They betrayed others and themselves, and now their future generations. What goes round, comes around.
      They try to make it up by going on the 'filial piety' 'confucianism' spiel and convince others around them to "Drink water and remember where the source comes from". In actual fact, they are assuaging their own guilt and the more others join along, they more it enforced their beliefs that they didn't make the "wrong moves" in the first place.

      The way to tell these people is this. You have always known which sides of the bread to spread your butter. And if you are smart, you should continue to vote for the opposition while pretending your loyalty to the old master. Because, as a businessmen, when PAP start losing grounds (as they did in 2011), they will spend more, so you benefits either ways. When the Oppo start gaining grounds, you cannot possibly lose..why not spread kaya on both sides of the toast? Either way you win win. Heaven cannot guarantee you a place in heaven, but you will surely ensure an alternative or even better path for your generations. One never knows where the wind blows. So those people who still wants to obstruct or sabo other oppositions in the town council business etc, they really ought to remember this. Your time is running up.

    1. After he opened his ( old, foul and bad breathe ) mouth in 2006, majority of the PP and Hougang voters " fainted".

      Support of the alternatives went up instead of down.

      In Marine Parade, in 1992 his team won 76% against Aung Juan.

      After 12 more years as PM till 2004, it was obvious another 21% decided that enough is enough?

      How?

      In 2011, his support level dropped to 55%.

      It is obvious many had rejected his leadership and his policies during his watch.

      Why should people reverse their beliefs?

      Obviously life is much worst now than 2011, 2006, 2001 or even 1997.

      LKY and the old guards brought sinkieland to 1st world.

      Lao Goa and his cohort started the backward process and getting sinkieland nearer and nearer to 3rd world.

  13. Look he is a seat warmer who has accumulated assets and related interests that are not necessarily aligned with his constituents. By importing immigrants, the PAP is basically creating inflation. Imagine if half of Malaysia decided to move into Singapore for any reason, be it famine or war. The result will be a surge in demand for goods, housing, services, healthcare, transport, geylang hookers prices etc. This price inflation which will benefit the top disproportionately because they own/control are the assets: apartments, housing, medical chains, malls etc. Retirees, the so called pioneer generation will suffer the most because their income comes solely from their savings will not match price inflation. Over time,every 10% per yr increase in prices means that they are 10% poorer. Every 1mm of immigrants will come in a bid up the prices of the goods and services they need to live. After 5years of compounded price increases, their CPF, savings will be enough to buy them a SG55 commemorative stamp!

    But the pioneer generation have always supported the PAP by habit and unquestioningly because during the growth era of the 70s and 80s they prospered. Going forward, when inflation hits them and its too late, they will be too enfeebled to protest. Its their children I pity. These are the worker bees with no childhood, crammed for exams, paid their dues serving in the Army, got their degrees and couldn't even afford a car. These are the true slaves that never even got a glimpse of freedom, their parents had under the Brits. Those in their late forties, getting ready to retire, will never be able to.
