PAP is a shameless totalitarian a massive organized criminal syndicate conducting non-stop graft and plundering from the poorest to feed the richest.
And they are the most audacious liars who lie through every orifices of their own carcass especially their anus.

SINGAPORE - The solution to address the twin challenges of income inequality and social cohesion in a post-economic crisis world may no longer just be found solely in either economic schools of thought based on capitalism or socialism.
Instead, Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam felt activist states will be best equipped to tackle this issue. "Activist states which intervene with spirit to promote social mobility, especially amongst the poor, that promote opportunity for their people, that free up competition and that are able to sustain optimism in the future."
Speaking at the Economic Society of Singapore Annual Dinner - and on the topic of achieving inclusive growth - Mr Shanmugaratnam noted that growing income inequality has been a worldwide trend in the past two decades.
Singapore, too, has not been spared. The Gini coefficient - a statistical measure of income inequality - has risen from 0.41 in 1990 to 0.48 currently. It is lowered to 0.45 after the various Government assistance schemes to help the less well off (Corrected at 06:15 PM Jul 31, 2010).
While the Government aims to increase median income by 30 per cent in real terms the next decade, Mr Shanmugaratnam said: "We are very serious in wanting to ensure that incomes for the bottom 20 per cent keep growing in real terms and it means providing opportunities across the board and investing in every Singaporean - their skills, their attitudes, their abilities to operate."
He outlined three strategies which the Government has undertaken and will continue to do. They are investing in education, making the labour market a safety net for workers and encouraging self-reliance among Singaporeans.
Mr Shanmugaratnam said the Government will also look at further incentivising philanthropy and bringing wider community partners in to help build social cohesion.
He added the Government would "keep evolving" and "avoid dogma" in its quest for inclusive growth. So, rather than merely focusing on social transfers, the Government will also look to improve Singaporeans' skills and build up their assets that the market driven economy provides.
"Not a small-minded government, but an activist Government - focused on helping the poor and building up their capability and assets, and always remaining pragmatic because we could never get it right for all time," Mr Shanmugaratnam said.
