I was musing to myself about the ideal way of developing a strong united Opposition to topple the PAP in an election... It will be very easy if there is a budget of $100 million SGD, to ready the following items:
1. Purchase a sizeable building to operate as a HQ preferably in the Central area with the following facilities.
2. Carpark for 2 dozen of 9ft lorries, 2 dozen of middle buses, 2 dozen of saloon cars for transportation & logistic purposes.
3. Storerooms to keep all the banners, pamphlets, newsletters, name-cards, etc.
4. Computer Rooms for online propagandas and communications.
5 Rooms grouped for candidates allocated for each GRC or ward to contest, with a common pool of a few hundred helpers to assist with the various tasks in an election.
6. Meeting Rooms for general meetings for discussions, interview of suitable candidates, recruitment of supporters, volunteers and members, etc.
7. Guard Room for security guards to keep out trespassers.
8. Various rooms for different appointments like Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, Law Consultants, PR, etc various appointments to make the whole organisation tick.
9. Big halls for general speech for gatherings, etc.
Handpick suitable Singapore citizens (aged 30 - 60) who have wide contacts and not easily bribed to switch sides as candidates. These personnels must be passionate about serving the Singapore People first and not sell their souls to money and luxury.
A special group will be tasked with fund raising thru events, etc, to continue to fund the operations and as payroll for full-time appointment holders (a comfortable but not ridiculous monthly amount, they are also human beings who need to feed their families.)
I think with all these put in place, we can even the playing field a bit...
But then... no money just talk nia...
Hai!
