Let's put aside the issue of PAP vs WP. Do you honestly believe that
any human being, regardless of his political affiliations, should waste 5 hours of his/her life listening to the sob stories of some useless sod who can't be bothered to solve his own problems but who expects the other person to fix his issues FOC????
If I was an MP, I'd demand a deposit of $50 before having to listen to all that drivel. It would be refunded only if the plea for help actually deserved some merit.
I don't want to speak for that "ANY HUMAN BEING" that was the subject in your question.
:p
Speaking for myself, when Mr. LTK or late JBJ or other persons have devotion and hearts to serve peasants I see it as their noble spirits. But there are many many ways and forms one can fight for their believes and exercise their own individual strengths. For myself, I know for sure I won't be at my own very best if I sat like Mr. LTK for hours to meet peasants & write letters for them, even speaking for them at the Parliament is in my own view not a very effective thing for myself to do.
I will prefer to interview the peasants who have hard grievances & suffered injustices etc, or had been treated badly or neglected badly by million dollar LEEgime, I will post them to web and expose to whole damn world to shatter LEEgime's falsehood. I will prefer this rather than parliament. Why Parliament is COMPLETELY CENSORED from video recording etc. Only LEEgime TV allowed. Hansards (printed parliamentary proceeding records) are seen only by a handful of people. So what for and what use?
It became so obvious and abundantly clear that LEEgime is already half collapsed, but essentially NOT via ballots counts NOR SEATS they lost, because
by ballots and seats count, LKY GCT WKS MBT etc would still be ministers and can still increase another million dollar to their own salaries, and obviously the 6 opposition votes vs 81 PAppies aren't going to be able to stop them there. NCPMs etc can cry all you want. LEEgime's skin can be thick enough.
Furthermore, like in the past LEEgime can just run amok totally not holding any parliamentary sessions as they did so in the past. They can make parliament hall UNDER RENOVATION for 24 months, like they did before, during Barisan Socialist era & JBJ era.
Remember Mr. Chia Thye Poh? He was an elected MP in parliament just like Mr. LTK! Yes! He could not MEET THE PEOPLE like Mr. LTK, because LKy old dog thief let him
MEET THE ISD. 27 years of ISD.
However why not the same any longer today, that is non-ballots and non-seat factors working, that is the Internet and other new media working, that is the reverse of fear working, that is the practical strength people had gained and demonstrated during this GE2011 that had worked. That had spoked LEEgime and Educated LEEgime. They learn that redrawing electoral boundary isn't going to work, 154th media isn't going to work, Ang Pao isn't going to work, Election deposits isn't going to work, GRC isn't going to work, kangaroo court and defamation suit isn't going to work, frightening nominators isn't going to work, Walk-Over isn't going to work, Political Donation Acts isn't going to work, ISA isn't going to work, HDB upgrading isn't going to work, FIX opposition isnt' going to work, because we can pool candidates, we can raise funds Online, we can youtube, we can go to jail, we can fight in court, we can fight on streets, we can deal with mata, we can use Internet, we have foreign media, we know our ways and our rights already.
If we did not put LKy old dog thief at the right place where he deserves, he could still make Mr. LTK another JBJ or Chia Thye Poh. It is because by so many other means we defeated LKy old dog, that we had eliminated his choices and power.
