Voting wisely is to vote for PAP.

PAP is the only party with a track record of turning a 3rd World country into a First World country. PAP is the only party that has credible cadres standing for elections. Can voters really bring themselves to vote for nincompoops like Desmond, Ravi and Slipper Man?

Like clockwork, and I rest my case.:biggrin:

But why mention nincompoops like Desmond, Ravi and Slipper Man to spook opposition supporters? And make us depressed? We have our proper heroes like TCB, CSJ, Paul Thambi and Lim Tean. May they live long and succeed in their noble quest to rescue the country from the evil clutches of your stinking pap.:biggrin:
 
This is called vote wisely.....an important but seldom quoted idea from LKY back in 1994

People between 35 and 60 who are married with children would get an additional vote under former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew’s plan.

The idea is to give more weight at the polls to those who have heavier responsibilities, he says ″Their contributions to the economy and to society is greatest at this stage of life,″ he said. ″Also they need to vote for themselves and also for their children (who) have an interest that needs to be protected.″

The radical change might be necessary in 15 to 20 years, in his view, because the population of this small city-state is growing old, and could give rise to a huge army of the elderly who might be tempted to pressure the government for welfare handouts.

Demographic data indicate that by 2030 those aged 60 and over will form one quarter of the total population, compared to about 10 percent now. Eight working people support one of the elderly now, and by then the ratio would be 2.2 to 1.

″Once past 60, their children would have grown up, and would vote for themselves,″ the 70-year-old Lee said during a recent visit to Australia.

″Then the parents should drop back to one vote. But during those critical years, 35-60, people who carry twice as much responsibility should have two votes. This will make for a more viable system and a more stable society.″

The constitution should not be amended unnecessarily but it should not remain frozen for all time, he added.

″If you want one-man, one-vote or representative government to succeed, from time to time, you will have to adjust your system to make it more viable and less volatile.″

We can never know what is inside the person heart and only what he said as a judgement for his action :tongue:

Yes they maybe jobless but they supported the ruling party to help them. With the exception of Aljunied and Hougang which are taken care by WP, the rest of other oppies hardly walk the ground and help the needy in other wards.

To be honest I never hear of non incumbent British MPs walk the ground before election time. May be have to do with election fund raise rules easier there than in SG, so naturally a well funded candidate can afford to spend on publicity. Possible that sinkie oppies are cash poor like sinkies. :unsure:
