Facing increasing public criticisms on its short and disappointing election ‘manifesto’ in contrast to the Workers Party’s, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean now casts doubts on whether the opposition is able to deliver on the promises outlined in their manifestos.
Responding to criticisms that the PAP manifesto lacks in substance, DPM Teo said with a laugh:
“You mean compared to the opposition’s? Which manifesto have you been reading? They put down a long laundry list of things, which they imagine can be done. But the reality is not the same. And even if you put down the same item, the PAP has shown it can deliver (on) implementation, execution. They put down the same item, the question is, can the other guy deliver?”
He added the PAP manifesto is “welcomed” because it deals with practical issues that Singaporeans are concerned with in everyday life though the majority of netizens have ridiculed it as a ‘project’ by kindergarten’s kids.
Not sounding even a little bit embarrassed, DPM Teo heaped the usual delusional generous self-praise on the PAP’s ‘track record’:
“We have actually delivered on our promises over several decades; we think carefully before we put something down because we know we have to deliver on it.”
Past achievements do not guarantee future success. Furthermore, the PAP”s performance in the last five years has been most disappointing.
Let us examine the PAP’s ‘track record’ since 2006:
1. Relentless influx of foreigners: Singapore is swarmed by foreigners who now form 40 percent of Singapore’s population. Of the remaining 60 percent who are citizens, an increasing number are born overseas. Singapore PRs and citizenships are given indiscriminately to undeserving foreign ‘talents’ such as construction workers, hawkers, cleaners, clerks, masseurs and prostitutes.
2. Rampant inflation: Annual inflation of 5 percent compounded by increase in GST to seven percent makes life increasingly harder for ordinary Singaporeans, including the middle-income group.
3. Stagnant wages: After ten years of PAP rule, the median income of an average Singapore worker remains at $2,500 monthly, the lowest among First World countries. Fresh graduates have to accept ridiculously low wages due to intense competition from ‘cheaper’ foreign workers.
4. Low domestic purchasing power: Singaporeans have the lowest domestic purchasing power among developed economies, comparable to that of the Russians. Even Malaysians have higher domestic purchasing power than us.
5. Widening income gap: Singapore has the world’s highest income gap between the rich and the poor among the thirty most developed economies after Hong Kong.
6. Sky-rocketing HDB flat prices: Prices of HDB flats nearly doubled, pricing many Singaporeans, especially young couples out of the housing market, thereby forcing them to delay plans to start a families of their own.
Singaporeans should scrutinize the PAP’s ‘track record’ carefully and decide for themselves if they trust the PAP to deliver what it promises in its manifesto.

I suddenly recalled the news on 8 April about Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan officially blocked the proposed merger of the Australian and Singapore stock exchanges, branding it a takeover that would damage national interests.

That got me concern about our electricity industry and I've done so reseach over the Internet and the findings are as follows:

1) In 1995, Our PAP Government has decided to private our 3-state-owned power generation companies i.e. Power Seraya, Senoko Power and Tuas Power to Temasek Holdings.

2) On 14 March 2008, Temasek Holdings announced they sold Tuas Power to China Huaneng Group (a Beijing based company) for S$4.2 billion. Tuas Power was providing over 25% of our national electricity needs at of 2007.

3) On 5 September 2008, Temasek Holdings announced they sold Senoko Power to Lion Power Consortium ( a Japanese company) for S$4.0billion. Senoko Power was providing over 30% of our national electricity needs then.

4) on 2 December 2008, Temasek Holdings then announced they sold Power Seraya to YTL Power International Bhd (a malaysia company) for S$3.8billion. Power Seraya was providing over 27% of our national electricity needs then.

Did our PAP Government and Temasek Holdings consider, like the Australian Treasurer, for our national interests? For a total of about $12billion, it is worth taking the risk? Or it is because Temasek Holdings was deperately wanting to got rid of these money-losing companies?

Similarly the consultancy arm of then Public Works Division, PWD Consultant, was corporatised in April 1999 and put under Temasek Holdings.

In May 2000, PWD Consultant merged with Indeco Consultant (consultancy arm of International Development & Consultancy Corp which was responsible for many government projects e.g. NTU, NUS, etc) and was renamed as CPG Consultant.

Temasek Holdings then sold them to Downer EDI (an Australian company) on 24 March 2003 for S$131million.

To date, CPG Consultants are still monopolising consultancy works for Ministry of Health (Hospitals), Ministry of Home Affairs (SCPF, SPF, etc), Ministry of Educations (Schools, ITE, etc).

Did they consider the selloff based on only financial gains? How about our national interests? For only $131millions, worth the risk?

To name one more example, Indeco Engineers (the engineering arm of International Development & Consultancy Group which was provide Facilities Management to Changi Airport Terminal 1 since 1983) was sold to Tyco Group for S$60.1million.

When selling such important companies, careful considerations with regards to ou national interests, security and stability of our Nation and its implication to the livelihood of our citizens.

We can't afford another "honest mistake" or any of our PAP excuses and the best assurance is to vote more Opposition MPs into Parliament for Check and Balance.

Especially so, when our PAP Government has proven to be so arrogant and refuse to listen to our people's voices.

Consider carefully for our future and vote wisely!!

PAP has a track record. Good? In relation to what? Yourself? By that definition, everyone has a good track record in relation to themselves. Any ruling party can also make the same claims. Claim writing is a PAP specialty.
