Hail Mammon, vote for the PAP.
In 2006GE, PM Lee did say that if just 10 opposition members entered parliament, he would "...spend all my time thinking what's the right way to fix them, to buy my supporters votes, how can I solve this week's problem and forget about next year's challenges?.. " ('PM Lee says countries worldwide respect and admire Singapore's proven system')A1Team said:Opposition wants GRC for wrong reasons: Wong Kan Seng
The deputy prime minister urged Singaporeans not to vote for the sake of having more opposition and back the stronger team that can serve them better. -AsiaOne
Raising his own salary less than 1 year later just to enunciate this point [ST Pict].
I wonder, besides now having to pay Ministers not to be corrupt ('Singapore ministers set for million-dollar pay hike'), do we still also have to maintain our dear PM's sanity by keeping away from him, any possible opposition politicians in parliament (i.e. restrict the number of opposition members in parliament to 9 or less) as he so insists?
Will demands upon citizens to accept the PAP's free-reign to contravene statutory/ constitutional rules- 'Town Council Act (CAP 329A) states clearly that Govt must work with Town Councils (run by MPs) to implement LUP', the blatant misappropriation of public funds- ('How PAP uses taxpayer-funded grassroots for political gain', 'Upgrading should be a separate issue from the General Election'), the imposition of double standards on the conduct of the civil service '‘Adviser over MP’ raises many questions'[alt link] ever be relieved/ justified?
There can only be one reason for this degenerate state of moral political leadership-- the unbridled urge to financially profit at all cost.
Singaporeans are as complicit as the PAP in the state run worship of Mammon (the profligate pursuit of prosperity).
Majulah Singapura, Onward Singapore, the future is one of self-accomplished state of eternal perdition.

They courted with Mammon, god of 'prosperity' in the 1930s (Pict source- 'Probing IBM’s Nazi connection'):
And this was the tragic result of this union with 'prosperity' [Video@1m25s]:
Majulah Singapura.
Repent Singaporeans, repent.

From beginning to end, there was no mention of the words 'Grassroots advisers', 'People Association' or 'PAP losing candidates' and so how did Mr Eric Low come into the picture at all?

It spent a total of $320 million last year.However unlike most stat boards, whose chairmen are usually the permanent secretary of the parent ministry or some other senior civil servant, PA’s chairman is none other than the Prime Minister [pict]. .. No other public sector board in Singapore has so many “Men in White” on it..." [G Giam, 10Oct2009].
- 'Upgrading should be a separate issue from the General Election': "We are concerned about the linking of public housing upgrading and estate renewal programmes to electoral support for the PAP in a constituency.

- '‘Adviser over MP’ raises many questions': "PAP MPs are appointed as advisers to the grassroots organisations in their wards by the People’s Association (PA). In the two opposition wards, the PA picked the PAP candidates who contested but lost in the wards in the last two polls as the grassroots advisers." [ST, 22Oct2009][alt link]
