I doubt I’ll see that in my lifetime.
You say got freebies and hello kitty then you’ll see 10s of thousands of sinkies turn up.
Old fart has done a terrific job of indoctrination.....brainwashing sucess rate of 70% in a relatively open environment. Pap
Model is the envy of all dictatorships. Of course NK has a higher rate but it’s under controlled environment and is not sustainable. Sg’s model is the model of the future. 50 years and still going strong.
SG model is only possible in singapore due to the small area and the ability to supervise and oversee everything tightly. They will not be able to exercise this level of control in a bigger country. Sinkies are brainwashed. But at the same time, its their fault too. They are too stupid. They have an inability to use logic. eg.
PAP says must pay their ministers highest salaries in the world, in the millions $, because they are the best
Transportation system breaks down all the time
If Transport Minister is the best and highest paid in the world, why still have all these breakdowns?
Only logical conclusion - He is not the best in the world, far from it.
Corollary Conclusion - If he is not the best, the he should not be paid all these millions.
Therefore, don't vote for liars, frauds and conmen.
But I guess this train of logic is lost on them.
True democracy entails a high responsibility on the citizen, That is why in many western countries like the US, you have months of primaries leading up to the actual election and during this time, the people have the opportunity to scrutinize the candidates all the way back to their teenage uni years. In singapore, the onus is even heavier by virtue of the lack of true information, media bias for the PAP, lack of coverage for the oppos, etc. Sinkie voters have to weed out all the nonsense from the PAP and seek out the message from the oppo. But i fear they are not up to the task.
