<< What GE 2015 means for Singapore >>

Long post - but since every GE affects all our lives and future - important to reflect seriously and give our views. Here's mine. ( Dr Ng Eng Hen )
================================

I won’t go into the reasons why the People's Action Party received such a strong mandate – 70% of the popular vote - for #GE2015. Suffice to say, political analysts are having a heyday delving into the minutiae and pouring forth their analyses, with more to come. Not surprising – as I cannot remember any democratic country with free and fair elections, having as high a support with such a big swing in recent history, as GE 2015 in #Singapore (except for our own in 2001). But I will also say that never have I felt so optimistic about Singapore’s future, as now. Yes, it’s because I am a #PAP Minister, but if we are honest, most Singaporeans woke up feeling more confident about our way forward because of this overwhelming result. Here’s why I think such a strong and unequivocal mandate puts Singapore on the trajectory to even more stability and progress:

1. Singaporeans are united on their Government and its direction for Singapore. In a world where it has become commonplace for governments in many countries to be paralysed by dissension and discord, this important facet of Singapore stand unique and will remain our competitive edge.

2. Singaporeans, in general, agree with the policies and style of Government. Many important proposals were put forward by the Opposition during GE 2015, that ran counter to the general direction of PM Lee Hsien Loong's government. But voters were not enticed by high universal state support for the poor or de rigiste labour rules on wages and hiring; they still support a strong defence; they were not gulled that we could simply draw on reserves or tax just the wealthy. They did not buy into ideas to radically reform our CPF, housing, healthcare and education systems. Yes, everyone wants improvement, but not through experimentation that can de-rail a Singapore system that works.


3. GE 2015 results signaled a maturing electorate able to differentiate the rhetoric of political slogans from the realities that Singapore must face together. It doesn’t mean that life is comfortable for all, or that problems don’t exist – no one is naïve enough to believe that. But Singaporeans understand our larger challenges even as they grapple with their individual problems and want things to improve.


4. Singaporeans are fair-minded. In GE2011, support for the PAP went down because there were problems with housing, healthcare and transport, foreign labour, to name some. Singaporeans felt Government did not care for their daily struggles. But in the last four years, we worked hard to fix them, with some successes. Also, we changed the way we engaged our residents on the ground. Many PAP MPs used different programs to increase their face to face contact with residents. At the local level, many new programs and facilities had a direct impact on the well-being of residents. For example, in Bishan Toa Payoh, we build 114 elderly fitness stations ! We raised funds to give out nearly $2M in community scholarships. Singaporeans gave credit where it was due, and acknowledge these efforts in their vote.


5. Singaporeans expect minimum standards from all political parties. They appreciate the theatre that each GE brings and some even attend many rallies of different parties to check things out and revel in the almost carnival atmosphere. But when it comes to their vote, they expect intelligent and reasonable views backed by good character. Singaporeans want a discourse on our common problems, less m&d-slinging and are not easily swayed by inflammatory slogans. They want our politicians to be honest and incorrupt and keep our system clean.


6. Singaporeans want to know their candidate and what he has or can do for them. As the saying goes, all politics is local. National issues and the Party image set the base support. But, we saw differences in results within GRCs and across SMCs for different candidates from the same party, even when facing the same opposing party ( PAP and opposition parties alike). What the local MP or candidate does, his or her image, can mean a difference of as much as 5% points. In electoral terms, this is a big swing factor. To ignore this essential component of our political system, is to miss the point and lose votes.

All these expectations from ‪#‎Singaporean‬ voters are indeed reasonable and good and will keep our politics clean, effective and efficient, regardless of the party in charge. Singaporeans want their political representatives and leaders to have high standards of integrity and honesty. If ever PAP steers away from these expectations or loses touch with our voters, we will see a drop in support in the next election - as we should. If opposition parties want to rely only on opportunism to fan discord and precipitate risky change, Singaporeans will only let them go so far. To win, opposition parties must offer real and credible alternatives to the difficult problems we face together. Above all, GE 2015 showed that as always, it is Singaporeans who ultimately determine the destiny of our nation. They chose a course that make us believe and work towards a SG100 that is even better than Singapore50 (‪#‎SG50‬).

The General Election results were better than we had dared to hope; indeed better than anyone expected. People’s Action Party MPs on the ground and Government ministries and agencies put in much hard work over the last four years, and longer. But election outcomes are never fully predictable, and we must never take anything for granted.

Politics always requires a stout heart, wherever the contest may be. But the stoutest hearted were our candidates who stood in the opposition wards and did very well – Charles Chong in Punggol East, Lee Hong Chuang in Hougang, as well as the Aljunied team, guided by Lim Boon Heng.

Retiring MPs deserve our thanks. Their patient efforts tending the soil in years gone by, have yielded the fruit we harvested this GE. The team at party HQ deserves our thanks too. Good execution bridges the gap between vision and reality.

Why GE 2015 is important for Singapore and Singaporeans

GE 2015 is an important success for the PAP, and – more importantly – for Singapore and Singaporeans. Since GE 2011, investors overseas have been asking if Singapore is still open for business. A weak result this time would have affected their confidence. Businesses and jobs could have been impacted. Instead, GE 2015 has boosted confidence in Singapore. This will create more opportunities for our people, despite a challenging regional and international environment.

The strong result also gives leadership renewal the best chance to succeed. We have reinforced and rejuvenated our team. We have more good people whom we can groom and expose early, to enable us to build the strongest team to serve Singapore.

GE 2015 has assured Singapore’s future beyond SG50. Retired MP Hwang Soo-Jin wrote to congratulate me, saying: “Thanks for giving me peace of mind in my old age”. Indeed, our New Way Forward includes both creating opportunities for the young, and looking after those who helped build today’s Singapore.

Humility in victory

With this good result, the PAP must work even harder for Singaporeans. In victory, we must be humble, and stay close to the people whom we serve. The PAP must never become arrogant - whether in the personal behaviour and attitudes of MPs and activists, or in the policies and actions of the party and government.

Political courage

A good mandate gives us precious political capital, which we must make good use of, wisely. Inevitably, from time to time the government will have to take hard decisions. All governments have to do that, but especially ours on a small island with limited resources, in an unpredictable and often unfriendly world. When we do, we must justify them to the people and win their support, to maintain trust and confidence in the PAP.

We must be prepared to fight for what we believe in, and take the fight to the opposition when necessary. It is healthy for the PAP that there were no walkovers in GE 2015. Every MP has had to fight and win, and has learnt how to win votes and not to take voters for granted. The party has strengthened its fighting spirit, and fighting skills.

In contesting, we should not be belligerent or shrill. But whether loud or quiet in temperament, each of us must have the courage to stand our ground, to discuss and argue different points of view, and to persuade others. Voters want leaders who believe in their cause and will fight for it, and for them.

We must not assume that the next election will be easy. Each election is different. Each generation has different values and ideas. We must keep on working to persuade new voters of our ideals and convictions, and keep on updating our party and programmes to stay in touch with voters.

In a fortnight’s time, we will announce and swear-in the new Cabinet. My emphasis will be on pushing leadership renewal, and putting younger ministers into positions of heavier responsibility as quickly as we can.

Parliament will open in January. Think about what you want to say in your maiden speeches. We may all wear white, but each of us brings a different experience and perspective. Each strengthens the party in a different way, with different groups in our society.

Meanwhile, MPs should lose no time getting going on the ground, engaging residents and building support. MPs and the government must work to deliver on what we have promised to do, build on our mandate and consolidate our position. Winning GE 2021 starts now.

Together, we will work with Singaporeans to put the country on a strong start towards SG100.

More millions for the PAP elites.

Ministars will now get $2 million basic and $2 million in bonus. Junior ministers will get $1 million basic and $1 million bonus. Mayors will get $1.5 million. Parliamentary secretaries will get $750k. Committee chairs will get $500k. Member of committees will get $250k. Speaker will get $3 million.

CCC Chairmen will get more money.

Lots of our tax dollars to give out to the PAP and cronies.

VOTE FOR PAP in GE2020!!! Hurray!!! WE ARE ALL FUCKED TO Oblivion!!!

I'll join RC, and rub more cocks, sucked more dicks, lick more vaginas, and become a rat.

Let's wait and see the changes in this coming 5 years... if the modus operandi is still GDP growth, then we can expect GST increase, more FTs importation, more congestion, more competition, depressed pay, more stressful jobs, lower birthrates, more suicide rates... the happiness index will drop to that of 3rd world nations.

99% is only possible in North Korea and Iraq

Singapore's 70% is already the highest polled by any party in the First World. Even in China's municipal elections, 70% vote is rarely seen.

Singapore Boleh!
