PAP is like an iPhone 3, an oldie.

SG50 is a singing oldie, recalling the good old days, the Kampung spirit, the Hokkien platoons, the Mata Mata etc. Just look at the Pioneer Package, the goodies for senior citizens, the so-called CPF relax, oh, how ‘oldie’ it is!   
  
The PAP always claims that oldie is good as old horse can find the way when Singapore needs direction. However, the PAP old horse will miss the Way (of justice and fairness) when Singapore becomes a smart nation. Even before becoming a smart nation, Singaporeans have already defined the PAP as an oldie, an iPhone 3. Today, when you give people iPhone 5, they will ask for iPhone 6 instead. Just heard over the radio, a father gives his son an iPhone 6 as birthday present.  

The PAP old horse also wants Singaporeans to love Singapore. The oldie is love Singapore = love PAP. This is why SG50 wants to sing the oldie, perhaps using iPhone 3 technology.


I have to re-use my iPhone 3 as my new smartphone was out of use. In many ways, iPhone 3 is still a good smartphone - reliable and workable even we enter the era of 4G technology.  It is like the PAP. You can’t deny its functionality and workability but fashionable and trendiness. However, my iPhone 3 needs SIM card adapter, has battery problem and it is not so smart when comes to wechat. Selfie is not possible too.

The PAP says they work like horse for the good of Singapore. They work hard so they demand high compensation. They believe they are the only one in Singapore can do the delivery. Oh, no, even Apple does not dare to say they are the only smartphone company in the world.

However, Singapore has changed. Carrying an iPhone 3 or driving an old E200 horse is out of fashion, especially for the younger generation. This is like the PAP, like PM Lee, always presenting their rigid mentality. Even for election date, the reply is so rigid. The PAP says they have solution for Singapore and the oppositions have no policy, no vision at all.

People want options. They not only want iPhone 6, new upgraded E250, they also want other brands of smartphones and cars. This is the world of consumers. This is the capitalist market system that consumption is the key profitable factor. And the PAP has been educating Singaporeans this in the past 50 years - make money and spend. They relax the use of CPF money so that they can increase consumption in property market, health-care services, insurance and investment.

How can we ignore the consumption trend in political competition? How can we prevent market competition and prevent it from spreading to general election? In fact, this expansion in Singapore takes place very late as compared to emerging economies and other countries when their middle class emerges. The PAP has cleverly delayed this expansion to political front. And now it is Singapore’s turn.

Perhaps, PM Lee wants to call a snap election like PM Abe of Japan. The LDP and partner easily get two-thirds majority in the lower house because of a weak and unprepared oppositions. It is a dream election result that the PAP is looking for - no worry about who forms the government.  

Will PM Lee do this as no one is expecting it will come so soon? He can then continue to sell his iPhone 3 and oldie solutions to Singaporeans, like the Abenomics to Japanese voters. It is really a wonderful dream even they don't believe Abenomics, Japanese voters still vote for LDP!

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

因为有比较, 才知道做得不够, 才明白什么叫做易通。

  因为有比较, 才知道做得不够, 才明白什么叫做易通。 如果只有一套解决方法,很难看出好坏,方便还是不方便,易通还是不容易通。用新方法代替旧的系统,人们当然会做比较,尤其是科技产品,使用的人很多,一用就马上看到结果。 这是一个竞争的世界,即使一党独大,也要考虑到便民。当人民觉得不方便,不好用,不易通,就会反映,发声,不满。为什么没有预先想到,最可怕的是测试时,已经接到反应,还是不加改善。或许,行动党还抱着“令伯”最大,用者自行解决问题。 易通公交收费系统的整合,似乎缺少一种人文,沟通,反而更加多表现出政府的独断独行。尤其重要的是,如果只有一套系统,我们是看不出问题,做不出好坏的评价。 这其实证明国会里不可以只有一把声音,没有比较,没有进步。

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
