</TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=top width=452 colSpan=2>Political contest healthy for S'pore: Eng Hen

EDUCATION Minister Ng Eng Hen says it is healthy that there is political contest in Singapore.

He was responding to reporters yesterday who asked him about the recent activity by opposition parties in various constituencies, Channel News Asia reported.
Dr Ng said he would encourage would-be candidates and opposition parties to meet residents so that residents could ask them questions about what they stood for.
'I think it is healthier for Singapore, rather than just appearing before the elections and then not continuing. I have noticed that opposition parties are doing this more regularly and I think, all in all, it is good for politics in Singapore,' Dr Ng said.
He joined Toa Payoh residents for some Sunday morning exercise.
PAP MPs assume that there would be a contest each time and so the MPs have been working the ground to improve the lives of residents, he added.
This point was also made by Manpower Minister Gan Kim Yong at a separate community event. Mr Gan also told reporters that there has not been a shortage of ideas within the ruling party.
'During the last recession, you also see that we have rolled out many initiatives, including the Jobs Credit, SPUR and so on. They were very effective in helping our companies and workers cope with the recession and allowing our economy to recover very strongly, very quickly since the second half of last year.'
Mr Gan added that the PAP MPs have also been focused on serving the residents and improving their estates.

"hypocritical" is indeed the right word.

Minister Ng is quite correct about there being "healthy political contest" in Singapore. It just that the opposition political parties aren't taking on the PAP but each other over petty greivances.

politics is not jsut between the parties, it is between all people in the country. But in sinkieland context, people are educated in a way to be ignorant about politics which is quite a shame. The govt control in a way to reward anybody that stay ignorant and agree with the govt no matter what and media-full attention with punishment for those who go against them.

It is like training a dog. the dog obey you give him a biscuit, if the dog disobey, you punish it. And sinkies just go along this way eversince the start of their education or maybe earlier if their parents behave like that too.

That is why i say, staying away from sinkies makes you feel more lively and more human.
