THIS IS REALLY PATHETIC. A COALITION GOVT IS ROJAK? LEADING TO ROJAK POLICIES? :oIo:
Singaporeans, be careful when you travel overseas.
Other countries already looking down on Singaporeans as brainless and balless for believing in the liesof the SCUMS IN WHITE.
This type of insult to other countries does Singaporeans NO GOOD AT ALL

SINGAPORE - A coalition government is like a plate of rojak, with every political party throwing in its pet projects, leading to rojak policies. And Singapore's future will be like this local dish if the Opposition comes to power.
This was the analogy of the People's Action Party's (PAP) Lim Swee Say at a rally last night, as he attacked the Workers' Party's (WP) concept of a "First World Parliament".
The WP defines it as having alternative voices in Parliament, among others.
"The Opposition likes to see more voices in Parliament. The PAP Government likes to see more action in Parliament. Which is better for you? You have to decide," he told the audience at the Bedok Stadium.
"When you have a coalition government, it will be like a plate of rojak. Everyone will put in their ideas and you are going to have a rojak government coming up with rojak policies. Your future will become a big plate of rojak," added the Minister in the Prime Minister's Office.
Momentum against the notion of a "First World Parliament" is building up within the PAP camp, especially in constituencies where the WP is contesting.
Referring to the WP's rally at the same venue on Saturday night, Mr Lim added: "Right on this platform, I was scolded left, right and centre by the WP. Maybe they expect me tonight to attack them left, right and centre, too.
"But they will be disappointed. The General Election is not about winning an argument. At the end of the day, we have to decide what kind of Singapore we would like to have."
Transport Minister Raymond Lim, who is also in the PAP's East Coast Group Representation Constituency (GRC) team with the labour chief, lambasted the WP's vision, saying it was "seductive gloss".
He stated that, if the Opposition simply wants alternative voices in Parliament, they could settle for the Non-Constituency Members of Parliament scheme.
"But the WP says this is not good enough … Let's call a spade a spade. Why is it not good enough? This is just seductive gloss to get you to vote for the WP. It is about building a base to eventually take over the government," he said.
He added that the WP has not said anything about how it would improve East Coast GRC and that the WP manifesto is full of "motherhood statements".
The WP had called on East Coast voters to hand the PAP team a beating at the polls so that labour Chief Lim could go into early retirement instead of having to wait until the next General Election.
Clarifying the context of his earlier statement that he hopes to step down after this election, the NTUC chief said: "I want to make sure the NTUC has a younger, better looking and smarter Lim Swee Say. But it's never my intention to give up my place here in East Coast GRC to an opposition who's not smarter than me, who's not better than me, who's not (more) committed than me."
