Saddam Hussein claimed he had >90% mandate. He was not lying. Saddam did have that based on his method of voting.
PAP did have 60% mandate. But PAP's mandate is different from Obama's mandate, Gillard's mandate, Cameron's mandate.
PAP's mandate was achieved with the following:
1. Bankrupting an opposition through kangaroo courts, eg JBJ, FS, TLH, CSJ, etc
2. Jailing of credible and valid political opponents, eg CTP, LHS, etc
3. Control of information to Singaporeans through disinformation and misinformation by state owned MSN
4. State control of trade unions
Is there any pride in PAP getting 60% of the votes despite all the despicable practices? Ant other govt wld have got >90 of the votes if they choose to use illegal practices that the pap uses. Getting only 60% after employing such unjust tactics is a failure to me.
Unlike you, I dont blame the 60% who vote for the pap because they were denied the information and didnt really know who the real pap they voted for. I applaud the 40% Singaporeans who bothered to seek the truth and voted against the pap. this 40% can only grow
Evil cant triumph good and eventually the pap will be voted out and get their just dessert.
Look at the world...Marcos, Saddam, Gaddafi...no evil can hoodwink the people all the time
