Calling for Change since 2011, Has Lawrence Wong’s PAP really listened?

 Calling for Change since 2011,

Has Lawrence Wong’s PAP really listened?


George Yeo, after losing in 2011, called for the PAP to change. 13 years later, do you see ‘change’ in the PAP? It is clear that Lee Hsien Loong never listened to the calling and lost another GRC.


Now, Lawrence Wong is the new party secretary-general. Do you expect him to make changes? Oh!, perhaps, more vouchers, more taxes, more COEs, more BTOs, more subsidies, but also higher medical insurance premiums, higher new, resale flat prices.       


How to build trust? Wong mentioned adapting new needs, and moving to the front rather than staying in the background.  He continued to blame the oppositions, and less confidence, like Lee Hsien Loong, to handle more opposition voices in parliament.


Assuming demand for change comes from young voters may be an illusion.  High growth effects and high cost of living are affecting not only the young, but the whole population except the top. 


Calling for unity but ignoring change is what we see so far.

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

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
