i think the political situation in singapore is very engaging and friendly, thanks to the honest politicians and people in places of power, which is all too complemented by a nice, exemplary judicial system and the whole scene paints itself an advanced and ultra-modernist utopian picture which is sanctifying compared to the political turmoil that plagues other european and first-world countries!

I think the fact that I can't say what I truly feel on these forums illustrates the political situation perfectly.

..

can we have a rap battle here please?

 

[daryl]

uh oh..... wish i could say more

 

[gothviruz]

Well.. at least it's not like in some countries where the opposing parties can even whack each other during parliament sessions. And i mean really whack!..

Singapore does not have a nice political scene, contrary to whatever you guys have mentioned.

The fact that the percentage of the opposition present in parliament is lower than 20% definitely reflects something. The government will tend to create policies that are one-sided because everyone in the parliament will probably be in sync because they all believe in the philosophy of PAP. No one will question and in the long run, the government will definitely go out of sorts because there's simply no one to keep them in check besides themselves. Many people do not understand the severity of this problem because we are a successful nation! But, we're only 42 years old. Singapore is only 42 years old. PAP is probably only reaching its golden jubilee.

Look, the US Congress has been around since 1776. The House of Common and the House of Lord in UK has advised the UK monarch for literally centuries. And you have to realize, their success is very much dependent on the fact that the opposition and proposition both exist.

It's simple. Even basic laws of physics will tell you. There is no equilibrium when things are only one-sided.

[soft]

but what do you guys think about the singapore political situation?

As the thread starter, maybe you would like to say something first?

 

[roninriot]

I wonder what would happen in the US elections
If somebody just took up a marker and re-drew the state lines to suit the voting demographic

MAN: "Hey let's group New York together with California, Texas with Alaska, and Florida with Ohio!"
YES-MAN: "That's a great and completely logical idea! No one will suspect a thing!"
WOMAN: "Um, that's not the right thing to do!"
MAN: "Shut up! Guards, send her to jail for....voicing her opinion!"

Your vote will remain completely secret. Just give us your ID to verify that.
GRCs!

I'm hungry. I want to eat a LucKY CuCumBer!

 

[hardcore]

What is on your mind right now if you're a Singapore leader?
What do you think of the political situation in Singapore?

What do you think of the political situation and the Singapore government if you're an opposition party? Do you have a strategy that will work to rule Singapore?

If no, shut up. just kidding..

Just my thoughts. I still feel safe and secure living in this peaceful country. But just like you guys, I really hate ERP, COE, GST increase.. list go on..
