A Workers Party Cabinet Line-up

[soIsee]

I believe Low Thia Khiang never had it in his mind to fight the PAP for power. Like all Singaporeans he wondered what would happen one day if the PAP failed. Did Singapore have a plan B? One could not reasonably expect the PAP to come up with such a Plan. Unlike most of us, he actually did something. The PAP kind of management requires a breed of super beings. We do not have an endless supply of such people. Raising salaries to millions was an attempt to draw such people into government. Obviously, that has not worked. In fact people are enraged at the perception they have got less than what they paid for. Everyone knows the PAP needs to be reformed. This is changing tyres while the car is moving. The WP does not have all the talent it needs to form a government. There is enough talent but it is spread out amongst various parties. AS GY says " whither Singapore".

The PAP has not explained the kind of Singapore it is trying to build. They only understand GDP. All "pragmatic" measures must be taken to grow GDP. This is not a criticism. Every party grows up around some central tenet. If you plan to stay in Singapore just ask yourself if that is good enough for you.

The most expected things happen when the one who did not so wish for it to happen so soon, just happens.

I am not talking about a couple wish not to have kids immediately after their marriage.

What will happen, will happen.

The Pap just self destruct out of their own doing.

Perm Secs are PERMANENT, regardless of the government of the day.

Your believe so?

Then you must be the Moron of the Day!

See what happens even to the judiciury when another party takes over and I am not even talking about perm secs!

The problem is when a guy becomes too much of an expert and deep, his field of expertise narrows. Ministers should be people with broad vision rather than deep knowledge as they can employ people with deep knowledge to support them.

Yes and no... to your logics.

Minister is expert in his/her field, but he does not need to get involved in details.
Things he understood and will not be con into believing and approving the policies blindly.

He can map out policies quite clearly.
He gets respect from his subordinates.
He could be admired and model for others to follow suit.

In PAP ministers, hard to find it.

 

[Logic]

Whatever said and done, opposition parties have to prepare for the unprepared, most modern democracies have shadow cabinets and they are treated with respect by the governing ruling party/government.

Time for WP for form a small shadow cabinet and formulate new pro-SG policies, we never know, 2 GEs away, we may see a return to the old days of governing, like how some party trashed Lim Yew Hock's party and form the next government.

In Europe, the Leader of the Opposition is accorded the salary of a full Minister, given a car and pte residence. This is to prepare him / her when the Govt suddenly collapse. It could be due to an air-crash or something elese. That is whyu they have the position there.

But in Singapore the Leader of the Opps is nothing but just an ordinary MP. Not like the emeritus or sm once upon a time.

Here the govt treats the poor oppos as Public Enemy Number One. They (The PAP) about integration and assimilation with the foreigners.

Dunno to laugh or cry or just behave like a psycho.........
