		<description><![CDATA[At the IPS conference four 4 years ago, Ong Ye Kung said that Singapore was better off as a one party State. He reasoned that multiple parties could end up sowing discord, while smallness and concentration go hand in hand. This was very much similar to LKY&#8217;s school of thought &#8211; except that it reeks [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have chosen not to judge Raeesah Khan harshly. Several people have already said this, but the power imbalance in Singapore is unequal. The opposition is held to the highest standards but the PAP is not. Because of what has been drummed into us, that the PAP is the best of the best, the elites, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I couldn&#8217;t help but notice some eerily examples of strongman rhetoric being used now. &#8220;COVID VACCINATIONS TO BE MADE MANDATORY, “WITH CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR THOSE WHO REFUSE.” and don&#8217;t know anyone reads or listens to this pompous, flowery character. By my definitions, I&#8217;ve known dogs and cats who were human- certain &#8216;primates&#8217; fit. Dolphins, whales, [...]]]></description>

Will this happen? What are the obstacles that need to be overcome? I share my view. This wish has been around for three decades. It has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the G20 summit, a reporter asked PM Lee if he thought that Singapore would be able to follow the path taken by Italy in dealing with COVID. Despite a substantially lower vaccination rate (72%), Italy had already returned to pre-pandemic “normal” living where people are no longer required to wear masks or social distance.

WP boasts about having a stringent selection process on their candidates but how did a liar like Raeesah Khan passed the selection? This is especially so puzzling when Raeesah has been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t noticed, WP MPs have been raising sometimes quite radical alternative ideas. (Which to me is good.) One raised in the latest sitting of Parliament was to encourage the renting of flats, rather than ownership. (Google and read Louis Chua&#8217;s speech.) Jamus Lim raised the idea for a wealth tax. Sylvia suggested the [...]]]></description>
