PAP should HONESTLY come clean about Changes take place before or after 2011.


To discredit and downplay the contribution of oppositions in GE2011, the People’s Action Party tries very hard to declare all policy changes dated back before 2011. It looks more like an accounting strategy to date back expenses or claims to the previous accounting period. The PAP can then either claim more tax allowances or boost their sales turnover.

The PAP says they are looking for long-term policy and so GE2011 is not a factor.  They make changes because they want to provide a good life, up to Swiss standard, to Singaporeans.


We only need to take just three examples to confirm the PAP is a liar:
  1. Socialist heart: Before 2011, the PAP has never mentioned this before. It is always a right wing party. It was so afraid of socialism in the 1950s to 1970s. Look at the people detained under Internal Security Act one will understand the true color the PAP. The wage guide, for cleaners and security guards, is a laughing stock. They are afraid of foreign investment and cost factor, so they set the guideline below the market price. Is the PAP honest?  
  1. Election in September MediShield kicks off in November: If MediShield is really so good and free for all, why doesn’t the PAP hold the election after the implementation of MediShield? The PAP can gain political points by claiming credit of MediShield. Unfortunately, MediShield is a co-financing scheme. We know the government medical bills can be higher than private practitioners, why?  Patients can end up paying more when government medical bills keep on increasing in price.
  1. CPF withdrawal: The PAP says this is a good change as retirees can withdraw 20% of their retirement savings at age 65. In the past 50 years, the  PAP always thinks CPF monies are not members monies. It looks generous the PAP makes this small change. Is the PAP honest in keeping CPF monies without being open and transparent?


Socialist heart, MediShield and new CPF withdrawal are changes take place after GE2011 even though they need further improvements.  How can the PAP honestly claim these take place before 2011?

    The 6.9m Population White Paper was never mentioned in their 2011 Election manifesto if I recall correctly. If it was such an important target why did PAP hide the agenda from the public especially when PAP insist they plan for the long term.

    Was PAP trying to be cunning as well as dishonest by not announcing it in advance? What do you think?

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”. The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting ...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By i...

Is Prism Project Another Central Planning of the PAP?

There are 3 scenarios under the Prism Project#1 of Institute of Public Policy.  However, it looks more like the central scenario planning of the People’s Action Party. From the instructional menu of Prism Project Primer #2, participants were guided to a situation in 2022 and they have to imagine, within the Primer framework, to come out with 3 possible scenarios in Jun-Aug 2012.  2022. What a coincidence! Not long ago, PM Lee declared that he would like to hold the prime minister post for another 10 years. The other coincidence is the similarity between the 3 scenarios and the candidates of PE2011. How competitive and sustainable are the 3 scenarios to the people of Singapore and to the PAP?   Will the scenarios produce competitive and sustainable Singapore, Singaporeans or the PAP?  Perhaps, as what the Chinese say: planning cannot always catch up with changes.   And planning sometimes turns out the wrong, bad and unexpected results, espec...
