or he could pick a kennel of dogs to rule over too, since that’s how he treats his fellow Singaporeans.

wonder how come some old people refuse to roll over and die.

Besides that, the Pap continually brainwashes the youth. Going through 10 years of Singapore education (I am currently furthuring my studies in Australia), I find my views were greatly molded by subjects like Social Studies or History which showed Singapore, or more specifically, the PAP, in such a great light. Teachers exalted the role MM played in the attainment of independence. Countries like Malaysia are depicted as being unreasonable where our government was the honest, fair, understanding one. Is this truely the case? Can we continue to support PAP just because they made singapore work some 40 years ago? Even my own mother refuses to listen to reason and proudly declares support for the PAP and scolding me if i so much as mentioned anything negative about MM. I’m sick of hearing talk about the role MM played. Yes, he did help singapore succeed so many years ago. But he has been paid well for it. Times have changed and we cannot stick to the same beliefs that brought us through tough times before. The world is changing and sticking to old beliefs with do nothing to furthur Singaporean’s interest.

With regards to the pay of the ministers, I am totally disgusted. Yes, there have been no cases of Singapore ministers being corrupt, but what we are doing is as good as making it legal. Yes, they say that some of the ministers earned 200000 a month before joining the PAP. But surely this isnt’ the case every month, their pay wouldn’t be as stable as it is with the PAP. The reasoning given by the PAP is that paying large amounts of money is essential to get the very best. Shouldn’t there be a degree of public service invoved? That the ministers want to serve, though they might earn less, becuase they want to give back to their country? Isn’t that what the Pap advocates? Giving back to the country that has “given so much to you”. It is hypocritical and ridiculous to expect Singaporeans to give back to the country when our self serving ministers are only looking out for themselves and needing to be wooed by larger pay checks. How can they justify their 1m pay check? I read a comment above which siad that mm earned 3 million a year. I don’t know how reliable his/her sources are but all MM has done lately is criticise other governments. Criticising other governments is immature and if the PAP is as wonderful as they say they are then woudln’t they realise that it is in our interest not to piss everyone else off? Criticising other countries does nothing to help singapore.

I’m so sick and tired of PAP. They stifle and “dumb down” society by restricting their view points and discouraging different opinions. So many people are migrating to another country becuase they cannot take the way Singapore is being run by the PAP. There isn’t even any point in joining the opposition anymore because they are totally controlled by the PAP.

If I did have children one day, there is no way I would subject them to the education Singapore provides. How can we be called a democracy when all there is no choice. What we have on our hands is a dictatorship and to seal the deal, the PAP has done such a good job of brainwashing the general population is largely unaware of this.
