My Dear Friend,
I am very concerned that Opposition candidates like ....
[/B]
One should not even talk about the plans.
Dear sampierre, everyone just have to decide for themselves, and offer assistance to the budding politicians...
politics is always not easy, especially pit against strong Forts...
what I can observe is that right now, the PAP is losing the confidence of the Singaporean Citizens very quickly...
And Singaporean Citizens are feeling the pinch in their pockets from every directions...
However, on why the PRs and FTs not complaining is because as referenced from their previous country of origin, there is substantial pay increase, and a substantial living standard increase as compared with their country of origin... thus, in terms of economic profits, and social profits they have seen an increase, and would be grateful.
On the other hand, the economical profits and social profits of the local Singaporean Citizens have seen a degration as compared more than 5 years ago.
So, the Singaporean Citizens are feeling outcasted in their own country, and feel that the PRs and FTs are having a better treatment...
For any politicians to be elected, first, they must have popular support from the Citizens... and right now, the pool of politicians contending against the Fort created using GRC strategy is not big enough...
Time will tell, there will be more and more young politicians joining the Opposition... and I really hope that the opposition join forces, ignoring their policy differences for the time being, and combine their energies to get at least a GRC first.
Good Luck to the Opposition, may GOD BLESS THEIR good works for the people.
