You guys are lucky to have a chance to vote. This is the only GE where the PAP is contested everwhere and with credable oppositions too. The PAP normally tear down the opposing candidates even before the election campaingn starts, but this year they did not. In fact, the opposite happened - the PAP had to withdraw one of their candidates last minute. See the changes???

From the time the open forum on TV was aired, the ministers already shooked and made changes - no rise in GST for next 5 yrs, Mr MBT will raise in Parliment to increase the combined income from $8,000 to $10,000, and even our PM appologise on his wrong doings. All these NEVER happened before!!! but is happening now - WHY??? - because of the strong voice of the opposion. I sincerely feel we need to have a strong voice in Parliment and this is the best time now as all the seats are contested with credible canditates. So do your bid.

Cheers. Happy votting tomorrow.

i can't understand why some people do not understand the need for opposition

many have a mindset that opposition = oppose = bad people

This is the problem. SGeans are very very forgiving people and also daft.

I found out something. Most who already made up their mind - are the quiet ones.

Still water runs deep....

I saw a cartoon sketch in another Thread and it speaks of many people who want Alternative voice in Parly, but not from their ward as they want the goodies and perks. How can any party win ??

Our only hope is the younger generation voters...

1/3 Singaporeans are PAP supporters

1/3 Singaporeans are Opposition supporters.

1/3 Singaporeans are swing / undecided voters. But this group, after hearing PM saying sorry and seeing so many dear ministers cying sob sob like babies (KBW and LBH), they will decide to give them another chance to make amends.

 

So, Saturday night PAP will return to power with clean sweep of the parliament.

All opposition candidates will be frustrated with this result and decide enough is enough.

They will quit the political scene and leave the 2/3 daft Singaporeans to their own devices.

Friends, fellow Singaporeans

 

My name is Paul Ananth Tambyah. I am a doctor working at a major local university hospital. I am not a member of the SDP partly because I work in a corporatized civil service organisation and as you know, civil servants cannot enter politics unless they are unemployed. I am grateful to the SDP for giving me this opportunity to be a guest speaker at this famous historical platform. I am speaking entirely in my personal capacity. I am not a politician. I am still doing my national service and in fact have two SAF 100s sitting in my inbox despite the fact that my job involves saving lives.

 

As a medical doctor, I come into contact with patients on a regular basis. I hear them tell me that in Singapore, you can afford to die but you cannot afford to get sick. I see people who have to sell their homes and move into rental flats to pay for their medical bills. Do you think this is right?

 

They are Singaporeans just like the Health Minister and his millionaire colleagues. If they need a bypass, they have to pay much more than $8/- in cash. At the very minimum, they have to pay cash for the Specialist Outpatient Clinic charges before admission. I have written letters, articles, posted on Mr Khaw

After watching this video, my only conclusion is many of our Pri 6 student speaks better English than him. No doubt he was from a School of Chinese background, but his spoken English is really CMI for a Minister.

Thats not fair to the majority of us who are victims of their GRC (Gangsters-Rob-Citizens). Can appeal to give us a chance instead of these millionaire Ministers/MPs?

If you all have read the newspapers today, Mr KBW denied that his hospital bill for his heart op is $8.

 

He said that the SDP health plan is tentamount to following the west welfare system.

 

He said that the way singapore should do is invest in keeping fit instead of funding medical treatment so that there is no need to spend on high medical fees.

 

I have a question for KBW. If that was what he propose, why didn't he set a fine example by not going for his heart op by keeping fit in the first place.

 

If he can walk his talk, I will buy his logic.

 

Otherwise, the plain fact is, he did pay only $8 in cash for his op and the rest is covered by his whatever medisave and medishield savings which many singaporeans DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH OF.

Subject: FW: GE2011 - Call to support the Opposition

 

 

 

 

 

Digest the contents first. Hope this would help you make a rational decision on whom you wish to vote.

 

Written by a Rafflesian to his friends and members. Please pay attention to the attached: WHAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG. It shows the thinking behind our ruling party and it's eye opening.

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Classmates of RI,

 

 

As you know, our dear friend and classmate, Jee Say, has come out to stand for elections in GE2011. I want to wish him the very best and win this election. I am somewhat ashamed that I have not been able to do more to support the cause of the Opposition. So let me do a little bit to help via this.

 

Please allow me to share why I am so heated against the PAP.:

 

I fully agree with Jee Say that the PAP has lost its moral compass. While Jee Say cited the casinos as an evidence of his accusation, I cite what the Old Man himself said and was reported in the Straits Times. I am not sure how many of you spotted it. I wrote something which is attached right below - do feel free to forward if you think it makes sense because people need to know.

 

The PAP is conscious that it is losing votes because people are being left behind in Singapore 's progress.

 

There have been many reports about the growing Gini Coefficient. If this is not clear evidence of people being left behind, then I don't know what.

 

Here are some more evidences. I work in the social service sector, and I am fully aware of the many social needs out there. I am not referring to just the financial hardship cases. I am also referring to the many who struggle in dysfunctional families, who have disabled children to support in costly special education, who have aged parents who need costly medical care. My aunt who suffered a heart attack in 2010 was placed in Class C for a bypass. She had to incur $17,000 by the time she was well enough. And we are talking about Class C health costs which her daughter has to pay for her.

 

Yet, the PAP government stinges when it comes to helping these people who cannot help themselves much. They may cite figures of how many millions they give as funding to support charities to help these. But they don't tell you that their share of the total cost is not more than just 30% of the funding needs. The charities have to raise the remainder all by themselves. And you know how depressed the charity sector is in terms of what they can afford to pay the people who work for them to provide the social services to the needy.

 

Now, compare what they spend for Defence. Scrutinise what the budget for social needs is relative to the entire National Budget. You can find the data here: http://www.singaporebudget.gov.sg/budget_2...re%20EE2011.pdf

 

Look at the line on Community Development, Youth and Sports relative to the rest. Mind you there is no breakdown to show you what exactly is given as support to Social Services if you take away Youth, Sports, etc.

 

It is true that welfarism is bad for everyone. It is true that when you make it too easy for people, you are actually not helping them. But the question is how far do you withhold your helping hand when you CAN help a lot more. No question about it - the PAP government can do a LOT more for people who ARE left behind. What they have put in is truly "very small change", and what they could have put in some more is also "small change" compared to what they have accumulated in the coffers. (I use the term "small change" as a figure of speech to draw the contrast with what the PAP government can do, but refuses to.)

 

So it all boils down to the fundamental ideology still governing the minds of the PAP leaders. That you cannot help people too much or you spoil them. Unfortunately, they have taken it too far and what I now see is a lack of Social Justice. I would NOT be proud to be in a country that can extend help to the lower income and needy but refuses to do so. I do my part in charity, but so much more can be done IF the government steps in to help more. Today, the social service sector remains "depressed" because that help is not forth-coming.

 

Lest I be misunderstood, I am not saying there is no help today. I am saying it is a mere token to silence critics who may not probe beneath the surface. If challenged, they will surely cite their so-called social safety net. But probe beneath that and you will soon see glaringly obvious gaps. For example, today, there are 3000 - only 3000 - on the Public Assistance scheme, and each receiving a meagre sum.

 

It is GROSSLY inadequate. If the Government were to put in more investment into the sector, it can help over time to boost the capabilities of the charities. It can better enable them to help themselves in future. But right now, their strategy is keeping them anorexic.

 

So why must we support the Opposition? So that dissenting views, views FOR the people, can be loud enough so that the PAP cannot ignore. Sure, it will affect efficiency in policy decisions. But what would you rather have? Better policies in the overall interest of the people, that result from adequate deliberations of diverse views from different ideological bases? Or efficiently and quickly formulated but highly imbalanced policies that leave large segments of society behind, or create social issues (eg over the foreigner issue)?

 

There can be no issue more fundamental than an unjust ideology, prepared to lose votes of the lower income. The PAP has shown that they are prepared to sacrifice segments of the population at the altar of naked capitalism. So, I appeal to your social conscience and bring real change that can result in a better, though not necessarily richer, Singapore that is fairer and more just to everyone.

 

So do support Jee Say, and the Opposition wherever you are.

 

Regards
