only stupid n desperate people would respect him.
Don't be jealous ok?
Even if your dad were to give you the position of the Prime Minister, you also won't do better or at least equivalent to LHL.
How I know? By looking at your posts and the value of your replies.
Just in tonight on Channel News Asia...
Finance Minister: "Singaporeans are good at being competent, but not motivated to be exceptional!"
Again, exactly what I was saying about having a comfortable and contented work force... Well at least they acknowledge a problem. To be a great nation, we really need to be inspired people, for we are really a small country with a small population.
I once asked.....Vivan when he was hosting Singaporean in L.A. I asked him how does the ministry planned to penetrate into the social fabrics of Singaporean to cultivate R & D interest and not for the sake of profit motivation.......his answer were more grant lor!!!
Singaporean students question him why SG govt does not offered more scholarship to SGrean particularly for overseas education. He said want to save money at home, but the govt gave out scholarship to foreigners....?
So other than selective policies that benefit the state own enterprises, Singaporean really have to do our own cultivating.
Few weeks ago there was an article wrote about NUS professor came up with GM Salmon, but the professor was ignorant about approving process thru various food and drug regulatory of testing and evaluation that takes up to 10 yrs as he thought he could be millionaire early and was disappointed. The point is it is not because we do not know how.......but most Singaporean have a navie view of how the World Works.

well, sometime it is good to act naive, see no evil, hear no evil
parn............???????im fiercely independent.....so i dun think much of lhl..he never worked for his position really.......all i see is daddy either giving him positions or military rank.......never see him doin anything.but the russian putin pm is a real leader......a real man.....i hate man who resemble tofu......i cant live on tofu alone.
my dad dun give me stuff......i need to werk for what i want without much advice.....i actually think lhl is a slacker with all the $$$$$$$ dumped on his education and status......and why does his wife look like a.......
i rather get a pm who looks and thinks like pm putin......or ronald reagan......or julia gillard.....why???cuz they are movie stars n real heros to me even if they cant finance n boost up their country n people properly!!!!!lhl so far hasnt really done anything except ask for the impossible from own citizens while they go parties and dress up to slack n spend $$$$$$.
lhl.....ummm...not sure where he stands but one thing i know is females in most ang mo countries like the pm of germany Merkel look at him with disgust when lhl went to germany long ago.lhl kinda unwittingly insulted her in a move that looks like as if lhl was brought up by village idiots.:)......
ifr lhl was a general and was fighting a war ina battle.........
he would be the man calling for his troops to survive and fight n get weapons that he doesnt stock up.....then he would be telling his soldiers to survive and upgrade their m16 to a minigun with 5 rotating barrels without thinkin his troops havent eaten for the last 3 days..........or have enough ammo to fight.
.......dunno what i would do by then.....what a scary thought..

PAP also quite useless don't dare to give people freedom, want to repress the people, control media to manipulate public opinion, suppress the opposition.

As long as Singapore is under the rule of the PAP authoritarian system, it can never create the type of society that produces creative, innovative and exceptional people.
That is why the PAP must be destroyed.

The word to use is "conservative". It is their policy to make each step right (and sometimes still wrong!!!), even if it comes at the expense of public criticism - but what can we do to them?
Yes, I would agree also that having "seized control" of the people - down to the physic level - there are abuses of power (like SM Goh's remark about not upgrading HDB for opposition constituents - which is funny cause' it has nothing to do with who's the government) & arrogance.
Hope the political culture and structure will change in the future for Singapore, for the better I hope!!!
They will still win. In Singapore, the country people are too conservative for a change. They prefer to tolerate and do their usual to vote in PAP.
Finance Minister: "Singaporeans are good at being competent, but not motivated to be exceptional!"
That is due to PAP's repressive and authoritarian system.
PAP is the root of the problem.

I think they will lose.
This fucking PAP and their stifling system that represses the creativity of the people.
They must be destroyed.

PAP is the root of the problem.
any authoritarian system, failed to produce innovations, flexibility, and freedom
it could make extensive industrial advances only by copying freer peoples,
and could not raise its standards of living substantially because
it could not combine lack of freedom and force in political life and in the utilization of economic resources with the increased production of food and spiritual or intellectual freedom which were the chief desires of its own peoples.
Unless you are successful to change the mindset of the voters who have the same thoughts for many years , change of incumbent will not take place.

I think it will take place because many people are pissed by PAP flooding us with aliens.

It is a norm for voters to complain before election. On Election Day, they do the routine by casting votes for the same party.

I think coming elections will be different; similar to Malaysia's 2008 elections.
More younger voters too.
They won't vote for the PAP.

Don't be so sure. The voters have been disappointing all the years, next election is no exception.

Ang Mo Kio GRC also 33% voted for opposition in 2006.
Anything can happen.
I think opposition votes will be around 40%+.
PAP's propaganda influence is also breaking down with internet destroying their monopoly of propaganda.
All the filth of PAP coming out.

I think LTK has said before for WP to form a government, it would take at least about 20 years from then (2006) and they are clearly know themselves (And oppositions) that they cannot form an alternative right now, and most likely not in 2011 / 2012 or 2015 / 2016 / 2017 elections but the next after the second. Probably by then LTK is not LTK (Or rather, he meant his successor to worry / concern about forming government issue. All now opposition must do is to strengthened themselves and prove that they are potentially better. Thats all.)

I think win a few GRCs and the picture might change.
More people will join opposition.
The mentality will start to change.
