Mao and Deng had both denied the ‘dynasty’ in olden China cos they felt at least CCP is better than ‘dynasty’..... I think China is better now.

yishunite Turbocharged July 21, 2020 Share July 21, 2020 What nonsense political stunt is psp doing to have Hazel and LMW step down from party leadership to "focus on ncmp"? All other political parties in the whole world have their leadership as constituency MPs... they really cannot multitask this simple role? And wouldn't it be actually better for them to be leaders of the party so that they can direct party priorities with their inside view of parliament?

Best of wishes though. What so stupid? Was there any backlash from AIM other than people whining on the internet? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public parks along Kallang are full of them picnicking and congregating. All without masks of course as they are eating and drinking. East Coast park and East Coast Lagoon last Sunday are the same during evening time. All carparks have cars queueing, PCNs packed full of joggers, children, cyclists etc. I can expect such public places to continue to be packed as it's the July school holidays now, since families can't travel out of the country. Infected cases have travelled everywhere in Singapore after CB as reported, so a second or even a third wave is imminent. Are they sticking in groups of 5s? If so, we should not discriminate against them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnee move Hazel and LMW rewarded with NCMP role. But still need to reward other loyalists with vice chair and asst gen sec role. 32 minutes ago, Watwheels said: You never heard of the phrase, 'the devil is in the details"?

Small groups of 4-5 pax sitting around in close proximity. Group A of 4 pax sitting less than 1 metre apart from Group B of 5 pax. There's probably a Group C of more than 5 pax since Social Distancing Ambassadors aren't enforcing. I think it makes no difference at all. Good thing is that they are picnicking outdoors with much more random airflow around them, reducing chances of cross-infections. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe disagree with internal party on issues? Or it could also be they want to be as neural as possible, coz once in political party, even if their view is not in line with the party, they still need to go with the party views. So these are the 2 I could think of.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

China does seem to be better even though they are more repressive.. Or am I missing something... our govt does a worse job?.. cos largely same stock of people I think part of the reason why is because people over there in China are more hungry for success, last time they are poor, so very hunger to learn as much things as possible and be humble.

yishunite Turbocharged July 21, 2020 Share July 21, 2020 https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/singapore-s-election-why-aren-t-winners-smiling Quote Singapore’s election: Why aren’t the winners smiling? ... The country consistently has one of the highest vote-seat disproportionalities in the world. Simply defined, vote-seat disproportionality refers to the gap between the number of votes obtained by a political party or candidate and the number of seats won by the party or candidate. One cause of the high vote-seat disproportionality in Singapore is the combination of a first-past-the-post electoral system and the Group Representation Constituencies (GRC). The GRC, in effect since 1988, is a type of party bloc vote system in which members of parliament are elected as a team, with stipulated ethnic composition in specified constituencies. The Gallagher Index, which measures the disproportionality between votes obtained and seats allotted, found Singapore’s electoral outcomes to be among the most unequal in the world. They scored worse than Australia, South Africa, Malaysia, South Korea, and India. Netina Tan, an associate professor in McMaster University, also demonstrates how this unusual rule exaggerates the legislative seat shares of the PAP. Interesting... never heard of gallagher index before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
