By now, PAP’s foreigner influx policy touching on all areas in SG has one way or another upset so many S’poreans, they are yearning for a true alternative government to lead SG. However, a big picture on what the alternative government wants to do is solely lacking. Although more protest votes against the PAP is expected, to realize an alternative government, opposition must present it to the electorate.
First, where is the alternative government? So far, SDP has the most comprehensive alternative policies to challenge PAP. The electorate is aware there’re no perfect policies, only better ones. Suffice to say, the incumbent PAP policies such as the foreigner influx policy and no S’porean-first policy for employment had driven SG backward into a 3rd World country in terms of livelihood and society cohesion as a nation for citizens.
A glance at SDP website (if only all voters are presented with it), indicates they have plans and policies as an alternative government for: Healthcare, Budget, Population, Housing, Community, Economy, Education, Cost of Living, Transport, Minimum Wage & S’porean-First Employment, Ministerial Salaries, CPF, Income Inequality, GIC & Temasek, Special Needs & Disability, Political Rights, Media Freedom, Green Environment, National Service, etc. The newly-formed Singaporean First Party with excellent relationship with SDP can join forces to contest for more than half the seats on the next GE. This is a concrete alternative government to challenge the PAP! Such a formation (of running a an alternative government) will appeal more to voters desiring a change of government even in the face of multi-corner fights! Just make sure party members and candidates are out to serve S’poreans, remain humble and talk sensibly.
Second, how to present alternative candidates, policies and plans? PAP has been denying all other opposition parties their platform to reach out to the electorate. The only exception is to entice the WP to present theirs so that the PAP can train the state-controlled media and numerical advantage in Parliament to brow-beat them. Lumping all opposition in the smear process is also expected since the platform to reply will be denied. Of course, the ground walk-about, door to door visitation, etc are ongoing for all opposition parties.

The other option of presentation is at Hong Lim Park (to be completed with YouTube videos) and it’s so far not utilized. The array of alternative policies presentation can be drilled and reached out to more voters by matching the boo-boo of the day by the PAP government. For example, PAP MP Intan boo-boo on Yang Yin is a matter related to immigration policy. SDP-SFP can conduct rally at HLP to present their Population policy. PAP MP Alvin Yeo boo-boo on overcharging Dr Susan Lim is a matter arising from case related to Healthcare. SDP-SFP can conduct rally at HLP to present their Healthcare policy. Besides checking on the PAP government, it can also be used to educate and make known to more voters. If the PAP keeps quiet to deny the platform of mainstream media, proceed on public rally. If the PAP retaliates, it’s healthy and the sharing of platform is forced upon the PAP.
It’s time to be bold and work on bigger scheme of things. Daily exposé of PAP’s shortcoming etc is useful but not enough to give the majority of voters the awareness and confidence of an alternative government in waiting.
