Common in all dictatorial countries with aggressive indoctrination propaganda. It does not matter if the ruler is malevolent or benevolent. This is a natural scheme of things. Schools in Singapore are a microcosm of this behavior. It is good when singular perspective is the most efficient algorithm for the problem dealt with. But if the problem is multi-dimensioned and constantly changing, the community must either change or the community will become irrelevant.

this is a good lesson i've learned today. i'm very grateful

first revision exercise: identify the various facets of the problem.

1. resistance to changes
2. inability to adapt to changes
3. ignorance to the causality of changes

are the frogs gonna be cooked alive?

Sorry man, by eating tot much shit while trying to kill yourself, you can no longer die and your neanderthal genes have evolved to cro magnon (EMH) genes.

You mean the left and right testis? heheheh.

BTW you may need to change your signature. " I now carry the Cro Magnon (EMH) genes "

The best post of the thread so far, calling a spade a spade.

WP is nothing more than a party which is using anti PAP votes to challenge PAP at the ballot box but does nothing much to challenge PAP in real issues... The voters have been keep in the dark.. Pritam probably sees a coalition where PAP offers him some deputy minister post in future.. The way I see the WP challenge PAP is like a bunch of panties wearing rich people(not workers) who will eventually bed the enemy for self glory..

As Yaw Shin Loong puts it, voting for PAP is for national interest.. And Hougang people are silly enough to vote for a man who believes in this. If WP is just like PAP, its better to go for PAP because we know them very well.. Many people including me will probably switch back to PAP if WP gets too strong..

Whats the use of having WP if they will eventually embrace the same policies as PAP, perhaps with slight revisions.. Look at the Lib Dems in UK, voters are rejecting them at the ballot box.. The Labour party will probably get a lot of the lib dem's votes and go on to form the next government..

If WP does not stand up to PAP, I rather vote PAP.. I agree with Goh Meng Seng on this following point.. If Slyvia, Yaw and Low want to use the anti PAP momentum to get more seats in Parliament and eventually form a govt with PAP with their top people being offered cabinet posts, then please tell the voters, we are not dumb..

Chen Show Mao recently compares WP to Wei Zheng.. Historically, Wei Zheng served the enemy.. Tang Taizhong killed his brothers at Xuanwumen and upsurped the throne.. And Wei Zheng was the teacher of Li JianCheng(Crown Prince) who was killed by Li ShiMin... PAP is no Tang Dynasty although both headed by a Lee.. PM is no Li Shimin.. I think the electorate is not sophisticated enough to understand WP's real intentions.. That is to be the side kick of PAP and eventualli bed them..

I can tell you guys empirically that if WP and Low were as much of a threat as JBJ and Francis, Low would not be allowed to survive for so long, let along wrestle a GRC from them..

Dear Yellow, Raffles,

The nature of a coalition government is defined by political compromise and hardball terms and conditions. Countries with coalition governments tend to reflect the priorities of the constituent coalition. I certainly would expect the PAP to adopt some of the WP positions and policy wishes in exchange for a coalition government, or for that matter some of the SDP positions. if it choses the SDP as possible coalition partner. The nature of any FTPT system is compromise and the revisions will be major and not minor or at worst medium.

I have specifically said that there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with Pritam's position of PAP-WP coalition as it would become the obvious result in a situation of hung parliament.
Goh Meng Seng

do you see a tory-labour govt in the situation of hung parliament???

FARK CHIU, they will woo the small PARTIEs like NSP..... its NSP who will sleep withe govt..... any way Hazel and TOny are govt scholars, they dun have problem sleeping with PAP
