Populist policy in Singapore

That's the reason for the "likewise" inserted in the middle. 

 

The incumbent has been indoctrinating that unpopular policies they implemented despite all the unhappiness are good for us. Just suck it up like bitter medicine when they themselves draw astronomical pays and pensions.

 

I don't see them sharing the bitter medicine with all of us. 

 

 

Let me translate what you just wrote:

 

Popular policies is not necessarily bad policies - i.e., popular policies can be good policies

Unpopular policies are not necessarily good policies - i.e. unpopular policies can be bad policies

 

Aren't you just saying the same thing?

populist politics is generally defined as for the people and anti-elitism.

obviously the ruling elites does not like it.

 

they implement policies which they think is for the country's best interest or more likely for their own best interest.

 

eventually, it will lead to revolution.

I think a lot of people here do that. Talk until got Dragon n Phoenix but in the end still vote pap.

Singaporeans are literally like domesticated farm animals, bred from birth for obedience.. even milked and slaughtered, many will never think of leaving the farm even when the cages are opened Edited by Playtime

Popular policies is not necessarily bad policies...likewise.....unpopular policies is not necessarily good.

 

Funny thing is.......the government is voted in by popular vote....yet they refuse to implement "populist" policies.

 

So is popular good or bad? :D

Problem with your statement is that the government is really voted in by popular vote. The people voted.

 

Populist votes may or may not be agreed by the masses. It could just be a vocal minority sounding it out.

 

Singapore cannot formulate policies based on perceived populist demands but neither should they fomulate them to benefit only the elites.

 

One thing is that the social media can make a policy look more popular or supported than it really is. It is true for policies suggested by the opposition and it is also true for policies by PAP.

Only 1 ... OTC ð¤

I would say.. from otc count back all ok.

 

After otc.. it's a shame.

2 of 3 never elected.. readily cost us $40m i guess.

 

The "elected" one, would have been beaten by any of his opponents in 1to1.

 

The latest one... the last straw..
