Then why is it suddenly there are so many Alternative Parties with candidates participating in the Impending Election?<br /><br />And if the Ruling Party is willing to take in those wishing or willing to contribute to nation building, where and how are they going to find vacancies for the kins, military personals and civil servants who are invariably of the Inner Circle; 'khaki-nang'(within the family) in local parlance?<br /><br />The BULLSHIT that Singapore is short of citizens willing to run for political offices to do nation building by the Incumbent Rulers is just hogwash. The many Alternative Parties Candidates including some Ex-PAP members is proof that the claimed 'unwillingness' to participate does not hold water. It is more likely that many wanting to participate in the Political Developments of the State have not been accepted as they may not be die-hard and blindly faithful to the PAP Style in administering Sin. <br /><br />patriotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-43816225704417799922011-04-11T12:40:44.322+08:002011-04-11T12:40:44.322+08:00To PAP on their talent renewal I only have this to...To PAP on their talent renewal I only have this to say - <br />A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part. Whatever the reasons/excuses/karma that the Party is unable to attract or retain talents, should not mean that my vote should naturally go to you as the party likes to give the impression of such a "dire needs" & importance to ensure smooth governance. In fact, I am adamant that to stress that the Party is NOT the government. So stop blending these two and create an illusion that you own Singapore, our nation and country. That is the reason why all the more votes should go to a strong alternative party who can come up with the A team. Especially when the old wines that comes from sour grapes are still old even if you try to put them in new bottles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-89327117718460536392011-04-11T09:37:52.253+08:002011-04-11T09:37:52.253+08:00To admit that PAP has not been successful in getti...To admit that PAP has not been successful in getting people from the private sector is just putting it in a nice way of saying that smart arsses need not apply. You see, many of them tend to have independent minds of their own, a trait that is very much undesirable under PAP standards.<br /><br />On the other hand, bureaucrats and civil servants especially military officers nearing their use-by-expiry dates would make top running dogs for PAP. You only need their numbers, not their brains.<br /><br />Does it take a genius to figure out that if the disciple is too smart or cunning, will there be a need for the master ? Is it any wonder the Clown Prince admitted that even none of the current DPM are PM-material yet ?Alan Wongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-65274465920811797002011-04-11T03:02:11.213+08:002011-04-11T03:02:11.213+08:00Serious people with values dont have time to be &q...Serious people with values dont have time to be "yes men" or "yes women". They may however follow visionary leaders who provide a challenge. <br /><br />The current party in power is leaderless and run by a faceless impersonal force put together by Kuan Yew and global capitalism. LHL and those who surround him are not community leaders. LHL also does he have the ability to mobilize and command the respect of those in the private sector who may habour thoughts of serving in parliament.James Deannoreply@blogger.com
