Why it is so hard to defeat the PAP
Here is one more reason why it is so difficult to defeat the PAP.
It has systematically destroyed the inherent close and supportive relationships between people because it fears them, and having destroyed that bond, has developed a new but unequal relationship between them and the State.
Let me explain.
In the old days, people developed social networks in the neighborhood that they lived in. They had friends who would gather for mahjong sessions, drop by each other’s house to gossip, shared food, and their children played together and became great friends. It was as natural as sunrise and sunset.
But now, people don’t develop social networks with the people in their neighborhood. They may exchange polite greetings but the relationships seldom go deeper than that. Instead, they develop a social network with the State! They join morning mass exercises organized by the State, outings organized by the People’s Association, enrichment programs in the Community Clubs, chase reward points on the Healthy 365 apps and fitness trackers courtesy of the State, attend Skillsfuture course, shop at NTUC, look to the government give out vouchers, send their kids to PAP kindergarten and thereafter to State-run schools and many work for the State.
The PAP has very cleverly, nay, cunningly, broken up natural human bonds that form close-knit communities because it fears them. Instead, it has atomized the people and cultivated relationships with them that it can control and manipulate.
The State should stay out of the private lives of the people otherwise we risk becoming a totalitarian society, if we are not already one.
Many people complain about the high cost of living, the lack of work life balance, their stressful lives but would not hold the government accountable. On the contrary, will insist that it is doing a good job. But it is entirely understandable given that they consume State propaganda on a daily basis and that Big Brother has cultivated a strong and personal relationship with them.

Dear Foong,
As a Citizen, it is Our Responsibility to Verify.
You said this:

I had verified your claim above and found it to be false. Just because you are not doing it does not mean no neighbours social networking is taking place.
For example, my horse gambler neighbour 4 doors away, he had his own horse gambling social network in the neighbourhood coffee shop and market.
The State is not involved.
If they win money, the gang will go KTV together, shared same girl etc

This itself is developing social network. The State is not involved. As to how deep the relationship one wish to develop, it depends on the individual.
In hardwarezone, they call it Interest Group.
Conclusion, Just because you are not doing it does not mean no neighbours social networking is taking place.
Just like NO Ang Mo found America does not mean there is no human (Red Indian) living on that land.
Foong, you Opposition are very ignorant and Singapore will be in trouble if Opposition win the election.

Not only that. You may find your relatives and friends – they value their relationship with the state more than their kinship with you.
When it comes to the crunch, they choose PAP.
From young the competitive school system pits individuals against one another. By the time you get to uni, it’s every man for himself.
So there are superficial bonds with friends. But if they had to choose between the govt and you, then…

Now $tupid $heeple have no job, cannot afford flats, have been jabbed to death and are waiting to live in old folks’ homes run by FT. Then a quick trip to Mandai to end their miserable lives. The smart ex-$inkies have moved overseas.

Why?
Because sgs are nonchalant and self-centred.
Even oppo sgs!
To win big,oppo sgs must believe in winning.
And,the only way to win votes is to win hearts.
How?
Oppo sgs must truly be humble in order to fathom the wisdom to synergise and be strengthened as “ONE”( UNITY).
How to convince voters to give oppo sgs their trust and therefore their votes if oppo sgs demonstrate their lack of trust for each other unlike the PAP ?
IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
Like TRUMP says,it is COMMON SENSE!

PAP know all it needs to do is make 55%-60% of the people satisfied. More than enough to cross the line.
Plus if PAP feels that it goes below 55%, the simple & easy solution is to give out more new citizenship. There, 58% again.
That’s the name of the game over a decade.

绳武 (ShengWu) is a very interesting name in Singapore.
绳武: 1.《诗.大雅.下武》:”昭兹来许, 绳其祖武。”朱熹集传:”绳,继;武,迹。言武王之道,昭明如此,来世能继其迹。”后因称继承祖先业迹为”绳武”。
In simple English, Sheng Wu means to inherit the legacy of the ancestors. If the ancestor is an emperor, Sheng Wu means becoming an emperor.
To some people, Sheng Wu is a big threat and must be removed. To others, Sheng Wu offers some hope.

恒武 and 韶武

I talk about word meaning. 嘉诚 are ordinary words with no historical meanings.
韶武 has a historical story.
《韶》乐和《武》乐
“韶武”是指《韶》乐和《武》乐,泛指高雅的古乐。12
“韶武”是一个汉语词语,读音为sháo wǔ。它具体指的是《韶》乐和《武》乐,这两部乐舞在历史上有着重要的地位。《韶》乐是舜时的乐舞,而《武》乐则是周武王的乐舞。在《论语·八佾》中,孔子评价《韶》乐“尽美矣,又尽善也”,而对《武》乐则认为“尽美矣,未尽善也”。
此外,“韶武”也出现在其他历史文献中,如汉·王充的《论衡·自纪》中提到“闾巷之乐,不用《韶》《武》”,以及《晋书·忠义传论》中提到“兰桂异质而齐芳,《韶》《武》殊音而并美”。

Example 由于汉景帝自己身体一直不好,常多病,故当汉武帝出生后,便依民间习俗,给武帝取名为“彘”,以示自己的儿子能像小猪那样强壮健康,无病无灾。 另一种说法则认为,给汉武帝取名为“刘彘”与汉景帝的梦境有关。
象形字“彘”本义指野猪. 下方的“矢”字和两边的符号表示箭射入了野猪。 彘本指大猪,后泛指一般的猪.

The scandal centres on Derrick Ho Chiak Hock, a former operations manager at Lian Cheng Contracting Pte Ltd, a cleaning services provider for Nee Soon Town Council AND OTHER constituencies, including Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC.
Between 2014 and 2020, Ho collected over S$396,000 in kickbacks from 57 migrant workers in exchange for renewing their work permits. The workers paid amounts ranging from S$1,500 to S$15,500 each.
The abuse was said to have been uncovered only in 2020 after an anonymous complaint prompted the Nee Soon Town Council to report the case to MOM.
SHOCKING. Years of widespread abuse. There must be many other cases to be whistle-blown.

The hard truth is that PAPigs has controlled most of the means of production of the people who are largely at their mercy for survival for the most part. They control the resources of electricity, housing, etc..What kind of a country brings in slightly more than 50% of the population to be foreigners and PRs? What kind of country is this? Native Singaporeans serve National Service and reservists for what when jobs and opportunities go to a Chinese Malaysian on PR here? The civil servants themselves have no life and no work life balance. PAPigs have created a bad work and national culture. They created kiasuism to divide and rule and never once attempt to eradicate it.Singaporeans have become prisoners who are competiting with each other for the best actor award in the workplace. PAPigs has been creating a climate where rats are placed in a tiny pail and a few bread crumbs are thrown in the pail. Soon the rats will start eating each other. This is what we have become as a society. Sinkies failed to put their values right and in turn, have wool pulled over their eyes.
