I don't think getting more opposition in parliament can check PAP power.
They must be totally overthrown.
Last time the B.S also had 13 MPs but also failed to check PAP.
let's say by the next elections, pap is completely overthrown. And we have a coaliton of WP, RP, SDP etc in parliament.
Maybe i propose:
LTK as PM, Slyvia as DPM, Kenneth J as Finance Minister, CSJ as Interior Minister.
Who are going to fill the other key positions?

That old dog lee also has to go and suck PRC cock. Our TV shows all on PRC.
Our media corp chinese shows all flooded with PRCs.
Our island everywhere is PRC.
All the consumer goods are made in PRC.
old dog lee says that all will speak mandarin in future.
These are not the signs of a messed up country.
These are the signs of a rise of a new power to go and destroy USA hegemony.
Dragon start to make noise already.
USA's days of using IMF to go and loot third world countries are numbered.
China demands larger quota share of developing countries in IMF

They are too entrenched in the system, even the GICs, Singtel, APB, Temasek, etc, you need to find new replacements.
Half a century of family business.
Think the new folks in power should get replacement for these positions based on merits, not putting their own family members on the board like what the current is doing.

that's true but since angel3070 says pap should be totally overthrown the next elections, then i'd like to see what sugesstions he has, given the weak state of our opposition now.

China rises while USA go around busy killing people in Afghanistan.
Let them die lah, this bastard USA.

Some ppl like bear said there are no credible opposition, this is precisely what LKY set up the state to be, no opposition or weak opposition. As long as they can hold power, there will never be a strong and credible opposition to take over Singapore.
If you want to rebuild something which has the wrong foundations, you need to destroy it's base and start building it from the start with stronger foundations.
No competition means no benefits for the citizens and no progress for society as a whole.

Main posts are Prime minister, finance, defense and home affairs, the rest are less powerful posts.
Can give to senior party members in the opposition parties.

and they will do what? destroy??
you seem intent on destroying everything..
therein lies the failure of your concepts
you have no idea what to do after you destroy everything, do you?
and therein lies the reason why some in the opposition are abject failures..
to build, to improve, to better.. they are hard to do..
to destroy is easy..
and we, the pragmatic people know that..
those weapons have never solved anything.. the US is learning the hard way in Afghanistan and Iraq now.. hopefully.. where they have failed to learn in Korea and Vietnam...
Originally posted by the Bear:you have no idea what to do after you destroy everything, do you?
I have tons of ideas.
Originally posted by the Bear:and we, the pragmatic people know that..
Lack of offensive power. Lack of fighting spirit. Demoralised by PAP repression. Defeatist.

some of the so called senior opposition party members have little experience leading an organisation. What more a ministerial dept?
Even slyvia, a lynchpin of WP, has her experiences limited to legal issues and lecturing in a poly. Can she be a DPM?
Even LTK, he runs a town council and printing business but are u sure he's ready to be PM the next elections?

Destroying the system that LKY has setup to keep the citizens on a stranglehold.
We are not destroying your Bungalow, don't worry, you will still keep your wealth.
I know you live in a landed property, so you have a genuine fear that all your wealth will disappear in when a new democratic system comes in. But rest assured that if it's changed to a more democratic system, life can only get better for you.
What can you expect from 4 decades of supressing the opposition by LKY? We had a very credible Francis Seow, who fell out of favours from LKY and was charged with tax evasion, because LKY couldn't find any other vices to charge this great man.
Can you imagine? Tax evasion.
This is like bear living in Burma, refusing to allow change to come, instead exalting the Junta, telling everybody the Junta would be better than Aung San Suu Kyi.

We must make a try.
At least they won't lose billions like Temasek and GIC.
Ho Ching lose billions and billions yet still in power, small small worries like these cannot deter us to make a try against the PAP.

CRONYISM
Not employing the right person based on merits, instead employing your brothers and sisters to run companies they have no experience running.

What? Try? lol. I remember one of the exco in WP is a sales assistant malay guy. Shall we let him be the chairman of EDB? or at least something around that level?
sure.. blow up everything..
which is what Pol Pot tried before..
change for the sake of change is stupid...
but i guess you guys don't want to know about it...
changing must be for the better..
if those who want to change do not know how to better the situation, yet keep talking about destroying the current, what good is destruction if you do not have a plan to rebuild..
show the people a better way, and they will follow you..
just don't tell them you want to destroy the MIW because you hate them.. it won't work.. it'll never work.. it didn't work for the late JBJ, it'll continue not to work for anyone else..
now.. democracy? what if the people say no to you? just like they said no to CSJ?
do you blame the people for refusing to follow your path of destruction?
or do you go back, do some soul-searching and figure out what you can do to win the people over..

well but still, the pap cannot just go overnight in one elections. Singapore will crumble. Taking a look at japan, the opposition did not win overnight. It was built up over many years.

that's what i was trying to get at..
they want it now but no one has a clue what to do next if the MIW goes overnight...
but, i guess the impatience of youth will get the better of them...
Now somebody trying to be stupid, talking about blowing up things.
There have been lots of failed revolution, but then there are lots of successful revolutions. American Civil War and French Revolution, if not for the storming of the Bastile, I think France would still be solely for the benefit of Louis XVI and he would have made the Palace of Versailles out of gold.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storming_of_the_Bastille
well it's kind of simple actually.
Let's look at a company like Microsoft. Assuming the top to middle management all go off and the management team from a department comes on to take the job. Wow.
LTK has been managing only hougang all these years and now asking him to manage singapore? Sylvia Lim has been teaching in a polytechnic all these years and suddenly she holds a key ministerial position?
And the only other party which has a ward is Chiam See Tong's PPP but he looks so blur now and there is no clear successor in sight.
Don't these people use common sense? lol
Change is not for everybody, especially those who had it good with this current regime. Afterall, if your family has millions, why would you want to put yoru family's fortune at risk for the benefit of your average brethrens.
