Is the PAP of today exceptional, with unmatched competence and delivery? Afterall, that is their justification for the highest salaries in the world. Letโ€™s look at its more recent track record.

Large numbers of NRIC numbers were recently unmasked, leaving Singaporeans exposed to identity theft, fraud, abuse and scams. Scammers regularly use the exposed NRIC numbers to appear credible, posing as government agents or business representatives. The PAPโ€™s response was denial, deflection and defence, not to mention gaslighting. Later, PAP leadership sought to shift the burden to citizens (โ€œjust changeโ€ logins for SingPass or other systems where NRIC is used as an authenticator), framing the occurrence as a โ€œmiscommunicationโ€ between the Ministry and ACRA. Where is accountability? And what is being done going forward to protect sensitive data?

MRT train breakdown and service disruptions have become frequent and on one occasion protracted and severe. Services were crippled between Jurong East and Buona Vista stations from Sept 25 to Sept 30. Commuters in the West were severely affected, 500,000 out of 2.8 million MRT journeys. This was soon after an MRT fare rise. There was widespread anger, with many Singaporeans questioning the reliability of the public transport system, the competence of transport authorities, and the accountability of key decision-makers.

Despite significant flood prevention investments in infrastructure, Singapore has experienced repeated severe flooding and flash floods, raising questions about the PAPโ€™s planning for population growth and climate resilience. Drainage systems in our country have become woefully inadequate, reminding older Singaporeans of a time before an earlier PAP fixed flooding.

Then there was SimplyGo, or what many call โ€œSimplyGostanโ€! After spending untold amounts, well-paid mandarins and leaders did not realise that users wanted to see their card balances on entry, and then spent a further $40m to retain the existing system. ERP 2.0, a $500 million initiative, has attracted huge criticisms on its roll-out, design and implications, including its huge clunky On-Board Units and its location and speed monitoring, raising privacy concerns. ERP 2.0 was commenced in 2013, intended to rollout in 2020, was delayed, and now intended to be completed by the end of this year.

The list goes on and on. Here are a few more. Recall the broken PAP promises on Trace Together - that it would only be used to fight Covid-19, an assurance that later proved to be a lie. The Allianz acquisition of NTUC Income was called off following huge public outcry. Large swathes of Kranji Forest were discovered by a private citizen to have been bulldozed, ostensibly by mistake.

Singaporeans deserve better. We need leadership that insists on efficiency and delivery. We want accountability when things go wrong. PAPโ€™s โ€œownself check ownselfโ€ is not working. The claims of outstanding competence and efficiency are simply no longer true.

    I do not fully agreed with this statement.

    However, with Nee Soon PAP having to court LGBTQ for votes, it make that statement glaring.

    Yes, vote out Nee Soon PAP who have to promote and court LGBTQ due to deterioration of their quality.

  • Western Directive:

    Courting LGBTQ is just to please their Western master.

    Remember there were always resistent to that 337A repeal. And the authority kept saying that Singaporeans were conservative society.Nancy Pelosi visited Singapore on Aug 1, 2022, the Government decideded to repeal Section 377A of the Penal Code on 21 August 2022. Suddenly Singaporeans were no more conservative!

    What does that tell you.

  • Who would be Real MPs:

    I can only opine humbly and honestly that these sgs deserve to be MPs more than all other candidates if only sgs are fair,uprigbt and WISE.

    They are Dr Chee,Prof Paul of SDP ,Dr Tan,Leong,Hazel of PSP.

    DR CHEE WOULD DEFINITELY BE A FEARLESS VOICE OF REASON AND OF TRUTH AND COMPASSION.HIS IS A VOICE THE PAP SCHOLAR-MPs fear for he is able to bring forth the HARD TRUTHS with all his heart and soul.
    So too Prof Paul.
    Both could easily be MINISTER substance more so that the likes of Ong Ye Kung,Kee Chiu,Ng Chee Meng,Desmond Lee,Grace Fool,Josehine Teo,VB,Masgos and all thr other$.

    Sgs lack wisdom as we lack humility and truyhfulness.
    We keep voting for those who we complain of making us suffer unduly.
    PAP HAS MANY LESS CAPABLE CANDIDATES,THHN MANY SGS FROM THE OPPOSITION SIDE.

    SEND DR CHEE,PROF PAUL,DR TAN,LEONG AND OTHER GOOD SGS TO PARLIAMENT TO TRULY SERVE OUR NEEDS.
    THESE ARE SGS WHOM THE PAP DOES NIT WISH TO BE THEIR COLLEAGUES IN PARLIAMENT AS,SUCH SGS WILL MAKE SURE OUR MINISTERS AND OFFICE BEARWRS TRULY WORK FOR SGS FIRST.

    IT IS,FOOLISH TO CONTINUE REJECTING THOSE SGS WHO WANT TO TRULY SERVE us ALL.
    SGS,WAKE UP.

    The hard truth is that the PAP executed a strategic move to victory. First, gerrymandering continue to work and 9 days of campaign has not much impact in a country where overwork is the norm and its every man for him/herself. The incumbent has created a social control where the people are disproportionately dependent on it.

    Second, doing the unthinkable. Creating a problem and then coming in to solve the problem to give the perception of competence and care. The GST was raised 2 times to ensure they collected more money from the people. And $1 groceries were mooted at void decks. Fishes and daily necessities were given out to the elderly in the HDBs. They have matched the WP`s approach of groceries in exchange for votes. Kiasusim ensures that HDB flats must rise in price for retirement and the silence by govie on perennial matters have strategically been kept silent and in some cases muted. And it worked as Singaporeans are made desperate and resorted to safety as the fans of fear was spun. A new Singaporean animal is born where votes are now for sale. The same was done with the COE. It was lowered and as a result more cars were sold. Simple move. As more cars were bought and added to the road, the COE was then raised significantly under the pretext of addressing traffic jams and overcrowding on the roads. They created the problem and provided the solution to solve it while making money at the same time. All this while paying themselves 20 times more in salaries per annum than other first world political appointees.

    Opposition parties themselves are largely at odds with one another resulting in Marine Parade-Bradell walkover for purpose of distancing WP`s Nicome-Leon Perera marital affairs with Speaker of Parliament, Tan Chuan Jin and MP Cheng Li Hui. WP`s Leader of Opposition has failed to serve ordinary Singaporeans in Marine Parade as it`s own party sits on a razor thin vote margins. Singaporeans will suffer more in this coming decade. The quality of life will drop. They will sleep less and be more overworked and certainly be trapped in their jobs. Singapore has long become like the communist countries in the world where one has to literally work or return to work for its government to survive. The impact of the new citizen votes mainly communist educated PRCs from China (apprx. 5-8%) has a strong impact on change and heartlander Singaporeans` future are tightly sealed. This is a demoralised, internally divided and in part, a fractured and where members of society have a lower trust of one another compared to other nations. Its people will live in a seige survivalist mentality for its generation to come. The oppression and draconian behavior and measures will become more nuanced and sophisticated. The younger generation will likely continue to consider migration or living abroad. The left is today largely annihilated. Resignation and defeatism is now settled. Priviledge and cronyism is now set. The window for change is now sealed.

    They will return to their MPs to ask for help. They have created an economic system here which makes families dependent on them unlike in other countries. Singaporeans` mental health are rather low as they have been made overstressed by weak labor laws and a largely monopolistic govie in bed with monopolistic companies and Temasek-Linked companies. The Singapore market is tiny so it`s heavily controlled and not is not as free as one perceives. Crony capitalism is high. Singapore is becoming like the US, substituting guns for implicit fear, draconian measures and sophisticated social control. Income inequality is high and civil servants are fundamentally trapped servants of their political masters as they are not permitted to be more civil than servants but the latter: more servile than civil. The culture will, unfortunately, increasingly grow more toxic as the fear grows old and the young will be influenced from their superiors.

    Are you CIA mole like Goh Meng Seng of PPP ?
    Singaporeans are not overwork because we don’t have Communist China inhuman 9am to 9pm 6 days a week (996) work hours.

    Even if there are Singaporeans who overworked, these are the people who don’t know how to do their job or manage their time.

    Stop blaming government for everything. Every Individual must take responsibility in manging their time and lives.

    Pro democracy idiots don’t want to take responsibility for their lives.

  • ah guan:

    The current PAP MPs, ministers need to monitor their conduct in light of their dinner association with the money launderer. To claim that those ministers did not know who Su is, is quite unbelievable. As a matter of standard protocol, the ministers always have to know those who would attend the gathering and in some cases, they even have to report. None of these were explained instead just a simply brush off. If all these process were followed which they should, then, those who attended must know beforehand who are attending the dinner.
    Nothing is wrong if they have not done their home work and did not know Su is the mastermind of money laundering scheme, but what is expected of a minister or MP should be transparent, including when and where and who is the host who gather all the guests. All these remain unanswered and this cast a serious doubt on the integrity of these public office holders.

    Guys,you know what?
    The truth is people who want accountability are also invariably competent.
    It is actually bloke$ who are not competent who avoid accountability.

    So,the picture here in $g is quite clear unless you are among the 65 PCT DAFT Sheeple.
    Despite all the education,it seems singaporeans are getting more sheepish.
