A system that's the envy of many nations

I REFER to last Wednesday's letter by Mr Ling Tuck Mun, 'Imagining a Singapore without the PAP'.
Singapore, the city-state and nation in the making, took 40 to 50 years to painstakingly evolve a system of governance that is now the envy of many countries. By no means a perfect system of governance, it is as good a system as you will find.
Uniquely Singapore, it is a system that puts the people's welfare as the priority; a system propelled by a pioneering spirit, a dare-to-achieve mindset; a system that projects and plans economic strategies 30 years ahead, one that has seen us cross chasms and somersaulted into uncharted waters; a system that epitomises what politics should be all about - that at the end of the day, the man in the street sees his life transformed from squalor to relative splendour.
For the past 50 years, Singapore has been governed efficiently and effectively by the People's Action Party.
To now expect 84 new Members of Parliament to sprout from nowhere and lead us forward is like asking for the moon.
Clinton Lim

PAP supporters coming up and writing stories priaising and singing songs of victories and happiness, made only better (or worse) by having them splashed across the forum pages of Straits Times?

The next thing we see will be the repeated stories of sweet reminiscence and fondness telling the whole of Singapore how wonderful the author is to have Mr Lee Kuan Yew or Goh Chok Tong as his/ her school/ classmate. Cheap apraises to be called in the least.

I tell you, Clinton. You can sit in your air-conditioned room of some high-classy condos or apartments located in some rustic, serene areas all day long, typing your life away telling the whole of Singapore how wonderful you are born in Singapore and be governed by the hands of PAP.

The truth (and always a bitter one) is: your eyes turning away from the moanings and groanings of the poor in some unseen and unheard spots faraway from your pricy reclusiveness tells much about your basic humanity, or the lack of it.

The current government is engrossed with money in a frantic manner much stronger than we see of in the last 50 years. Their 'unquenchable' thirst for wealth and power has made them slaves to these two elements, and in return we Singaporeans to be theirs. Of course, introducing foreigners will do much good to our present lives. Yours and mine, Clinton. *wink*

And oh, with regard to your "84 new Members of Parliament" statement, isn't this but the exact mental projection of the PAP? Aren't they the ones who have been telling us that this government cannot be changed, or the whole of Singapore is finished? So tell me, Clinton, who gave YOU the notion that someone, or some party, IS going to take over the government and replace them with a whole new lot of 84 MPs? The Oppositions, or your very beloved current political leaders?

Next time, please use your brain to think, if you have one. Don't be like our 'elite', 'world-class' leadersuse who use the toe-nails to think. We Singaporeans are just very comfortable (and happy) to see more unfamilar faces in the parliament, and hear more new voices that come from the lower levels of the society. Not always the voices that travel from 'high up' are good. Demons are best in their disguises as angels and 'savious'. )

a system that projects and plans economic strategies 30 years ahead

This surely qualifies as the joke of the year. The ministers can't even recognise a scam when it is delivered to them on a silver platter (e.g. SWFs losing billions of dollars and town councils losing $$$ in Lehman Bros minibonds) nor do they have any inkling of the economic downturn coming around the next corner.

The guy probably thinks "Upturn the Downturn" is a very sound economic strategy.
