PAP has blurred line between State and party
THE cry for multi-party representation in Parliament is the People's Action Party's own doing ("A single party can't represent all views" by Mr Michael Cyssel Wee; last Friday).
The PAP has blurred the line between the State and the party: What belongs to the State belongs to the PAP.
The symbiotic relationship between the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and the Government becomes a symbiotic relationship between NTUC and PAP.
The People's Association becomes a PAP instrument.
Grassroots leaders work solely for the PAP.
If Whampoa deserves an upgrade, why should it depend on whether a PAP candidate wins in Whampoa? The money belongs to the State.
