When opposition supporters are shown facts of how useless the opposition really is. They go into denial.
Fact Pritam Singh used someone article word for word and presented it in Parliament. No credit given. = Plagiarism
Fact Chen Show Mao did the same thing and posted the article in his blog like he wrote it without giving credit = Plagiarism
Both could have easily said they got the article from somewhere else even if they do not want to name the author. Instead they got exposed by others
Fact FMSS was given contract without tender, a fact that WP readily admit. No debate needed
Fact Png Eng Huat declared to the world that he "took his name out of the ballot". Name was exposed to be in the Ballot = Lying
PEH could have came out and told everyone BEFORE being exposed what happened. Instead he lied about not wanting the post and not putting his name in the ballot
Fact no one can name what WP have done since getting elected. I can easily come up with something that Tin Pei Ling has done since elected
Fact Pritam Singh told residents that if they want a chance to win a 40" TV they need to vote for lift upgrade = Vote buying.
There is no debate needed on any of the above issues. Those are all facts and things that WP have done. Only those trying to twist facts need to debate and change the nature of facts to make opposition look good
I once told Goh Meng Seng that even if WP made mistakes, they have to be compared to PAP's mistakes using the same yardstick because it cannot be that one make mistakes the other must be perfect.
Since we want to play mistake listing, we can all play at that game. You will realize that WP's list is reprise so popularly by PAP supporters because it is actually bite-sizedly small.
The People's Action Party is guilty of:
- paying themselves exorbitant salaries
- having Son Lee succeed Father Lee and wife running Temasek like a family empire
- introducing GRCs and gerrymandering to keep out opposition
- lift upgrading unfairness to buy votes
- manipulating the tender process with AIMS
- losing people's money in town councils through minibonds
- jailing opponents under ISA and suing them bankrupt
- allowing HDB prices to rocket like crazy until people have problem owning homes
- allowing hospital fees to become unaffordable until many have to see social worker
- packed Singapore with foreigners until everywhere is overcrowded, crime and accident rate increases
- causing MRT trains to break down more than MRT trains around the world
- overcharging for telecommunication services due to monopolizing of market
- tweaking the education system until it becomes unstable
- making education expensive until graduates have to work for years to pay off loans
- causing Singaporeans to work long hours leading to health problems and low birth rate
- having corrupted politicians like Teh, Tay, Peh and Choo
- muzzling the press to suppress mainstream criticism
- trying to police even the impossible internet like no other country does
- turning unions into a toothless richmen country club
- cutting CPF and reneging on their promise to restore it
- causing high suicide rates in Singapore, leaving some families without breadwinner
- hanging drug peddlers instead of the real crime lords
- manufacturing arms and landmines that harm and kill humanity
- refusing to answer for deaths in NS
Now that I have done finger pointing in the same way as PAP supporters did for WP and we are only a portion through,
I would like to see PAP supporters rebut them point-by-point. Otherwise, why would they support a party like that.
