Reset traditional voting pattern. Adopting Opposition proposals and Policy Shifting is the new normal.

 Reset traditional voting pattern.

Adopting Opposition proposals and Policy Shifting is the new normal.


Lawrence Wong talks about reset, about renewed Singapore dream.  He also makes some policy changes, some of which were proposed by the Opposition years ago.  More votes to the Opposition, more resets and more reforms can happen earlier.  Don’t have to wait until it is too late.


Traditional voting pattern that voters looking for the PAP logo to cross needs urgent reset.  PAP likes to talk about money.  In Gresham’s law of “bad money drives out good”, the PAP’s GRC system will face a huge challenge.    The traditional pattern, just putting a minister plus 3 or 4 useless candidates in a team, has helped the PAP in the past. 


This system has been broken twice, one in 2011 and the other  in 2020.  Voters begin to realise they cannot accept this “tompang” way of getting into the parliament.    Lawrence Wong hopes to stop this trend and his reset and new Singapore dream want to prevent further loss.


So, his main purpose of reset is to stop the advancement of the Opposition.  Here you see a reset that is to continue the one-party rule.   But he faces one big problem.  There are too many “tompang” PAP candidates in the coming GE.  With a reset in mind, will voters continue to give the trust, confidence to the PAP?


Growth over development.  The PAP “tompang” members of parliament as “bad money” only support growth over development.  Soon, their “good money” ministers will have to face development of local talents, local businesses, housing, healthcare, fair taxes and more.

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...
