Doing right against popularity or Doing wrong against popularity?

Is PEC doing right or wrong when issuing COE?

It will decide whether there is a walkover.


Doing the right thing even if it is unpopular.  Is this the ideal president for Singapore? Independence is not important as long as he or she is doing the right thing.


The impression of all the past elected or walkover presidents is pro-establishment.  Singaporeans are used to this calling and it is why they demand change and independence.     


The popular demand in Singapore is that a contest should be held for the coming PE.  All potential candidates have expressed their willingness to face each other. 

  

So, even if it is unpopular, will the President Election Committee make the right decision in issuing a Certificate of Eligibility?    


What is the right decision? A walkover or a contest?

PEC is under the Election Department which is under the prime minister.  Will PEC work independently against or for popular demand?


Soon, we will know the right or wrong decision.  Doing things right or wrong can be very simple but it gets very complicated when it involves politics.

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.

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

After 60 years, after 3 failed political imaginations, the PAP is deteriorating...

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 inserting a single c
