I also a person like you look forward by Theory like my MBA and Doctorate research but voting result always the fact of Singapore is we have Big Group Elite follow by Minority Poor 30% Chinese speaking, Poor 2% Malay that never vote PAP and Poor 1% Indian that never vote PAP
The 2% Malay and 1% Indian always blame 30% Chinese but the winner still the 60% PAP. (Voters about 2,500,000- 100%)
Fivestars,
By consistently representing news on NSP and with no denial from NSP of your role in presenting their news, you become an ambassador of NSP to whoever reads your post.

I have no idea where you are culling these statistics from. 30% of Chinese speaking out of the Chinese population - if you say so, perhaps you might be right as that figure looks fairly reasonable.
The poor 2% Malay and 1% Indian.. where is that figure coming from unless? Are you suggesting that the 98% Malay and 99% Indian are from the elite class??? And hence PAP supporters???.
I don't know which parallel universe you are living in but generally ethnic Singaporean Indians and Malays are worse off then their Chinese counterparts.
You had better get your facts straight. You seem bent on framing the Malays and Indians.
After 4 pages of posting we get a questionable disclaimer that Fivestars is not of sound mind. How convenient.
Everyone's free to comment but the usual party fanbase like their respective party NSP and WP have decided to bury their heads in the sand instead.
Did GMS provide a response?
"14 candidates in total with 13 Chinese and 1 Malay. Zero Indians.
Both NSP and WP project a very Chinese orientated image. The need to compare status and titles of individual members with their PAP counterparts is a very Chinese trait.
It would appear NSP and WP have yet to develop any strategy to reach out to the Malay and Indian voters whose votes are needed to take any GRC. Both parties need to line up good Malay and Indian candidates with good grassroot connections.
Neither party appear to be making any progress in this direction."
Would this be fair assessment, Kakowi? Firstly when I read this Fivestars, he is clearly not of sound mind. No one knows who he is. Secondly, there is Goh Meng Seng of NSP here and seems no one takes his more sane good points as NSP's assets.
I count even more nicknames (at least 5 in this forum) that speak for nothing except the SDP and the only topic they talk about is how bad the WP is. But when asked, they seem entitled to shrug off the affiliation. Two of Fivestar's antagonizers in this thread happen to fall in this category but has the cheek to link others to a party.
In fact when you use that ruler, Wayang Party is an arm of the SDP.

This PAP ruling party policy in Singapore learning from BN. I do not understand.
The prove of Chinese down by PAP and form BS than to WP and NSP mean Chinese still want social awareness and support them.
After PKMS down by PAP. Malay never support PKMS. Why? I do not know.
After MIC down by PAP. Indian never form Indian new party. Why? I do not know.
Now look at NSP and WP. Both Chinese oriented parties asking for Malay and Indian support? You've got some nerve.

Reserved seats for minorities in Parliament is worth a look into. Many countries do this.
You have to understand that Singapore's political composition does not allow single-racial parties. This is not a rule as there is no law stating that political parties cannot be organised along racial line, but more of a case where PAP's racial education had in some way been very successful in ensuring that single-race politics is not accepted.
Both NSP and WP are not "chinese" political parties but are multi-racial parties with pro-dominated by the larger Chinese population. Just like in Malaysia, parties such as gerakan, DAP and keadilan are not single-racial parties and that is why you could find members of other races within the party as well.
MBA?
The way you are writing, and i m ready to discount the horrible grammar and expression, is telling me you cant even argue in a GP Paper at A levels.
Both NSP and WP are not "chinese oriented" political parties. It just so happened that Singapore has the Chinese as majority and that most in these parties in majority are Chinese, neither parties advocate Chinse domination in Singapore.
Do remember that the founder of WP, the late david marshall and JBJ were not chinese and despite LTK been chinese-educated, he does not appear to support or adavocate Chinese as the main source of support.
I do agree with you that it appears that neither WP nor NSP seem to be at least appearing to do much to attract minority talents to come forward. Perhaps this issue had bene addressed before, however, if both race felt that they are having a hard time to come forward, there is little others can do.
