Walkover or Contest?

George is the Winner.

Kiasu, Kiasi for the PAP.

George Goh is the winner whether there is a contest or not. But to the PAP government, it is Kiasu if there is a walkover and Kiasi if there is a contest.

Walkover. Kiasu.

George will seem as a victim in a well designed Elected Presidency. Singaporeans will see the well qualified, PAP endorsed candidate run away from a competition.

Talk is cheap. The PAP can claim how good their candidate is but how to trust a system when the referee, goalkeeper, player, and timer are from the same team. Kiasu! Kelong!

Contest. Kiasi.

When there is a contest, there is a risk of losing. At least 40% will vote against the establishment candidate and a combined of more than 60%

If there are multi-corner fights.

This is not only risky but the outcome is beyond our imagination. While is it the price of independence?

George Goh has a humble and struggling life. Mencius once said: “to aim for a great office, you need to go through suffering, hunger, and extreme poverty. Your mind, nature and competence will then improve and be perfect.”

However, his potential opponent has a very different life. A well designed election system, plus all necessary support.

No more Kiasu, Kelong, Kiasi (kiasee), Kiabo, Kiabo and interestingly, Kiachenghu.

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...
