PAP is less arrogant now

Singapore is under PAP`s rule for the past half century.LKY and his comrades used to be very proud and arrogant. They dictated Singaporeans to do something they don`t like to do like how many children they should have and they ruled Singapore with iron fists since they could easily walk over in many elections without any challenge from the oppositions.

PAP used courts and judiciary to finish off the oppositions. Jeyaretnam and many other opposition leaders such as Chee Soon Chuan had many times being jailed or declared bankrupt. LKY used communist style to rule Singapore and he threatened the Singaporeans that if they were to vote for the opposition, Singapore`s economy would be jeopardised.

LKY and PAP`s tactics worked very well till the last general election. The young Singaporeans, in their pursuit for material gains, also demand freedom, human rights and democracy which have been deniedf by the PAP for the last 50 years. They could not stand the PAP , LKY and his colleaques anymore. Many young Singaporeans voted for the opposition. Though 40 percents of the voters voted for oppositions, the oppositions obtained miserable few seats, due to the unfair voting system engineered by LKY and his cabinet to keep PAP in power permanently.

After losing few seats, PAP is less arrogant now. It drops LKY and GCT from the cabinet. It is talking about reduction of pay for the ministers which would never happen if PAP were to sweep all the seats.

We just hope that a two - party system would be set up in Singapore soon. The young Singaporeans and the oppositions must continue to work hard to bring down the regime which does not respect democracy, human rights and freedom of speech, expression and gatherings. We would like to see " Jasmine " blossom in Singapore.
