This fucking PM has no concept of what a democracy is. Its checks and balances that make democracy what it is. His attempts to persuade sinkies to not vote oppo is so infantile and amateurish.



SINGAPORE: Singapore's next General Election will be a deadly serious fight between the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) and the opposition.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the General Election will be about who forms the government, and not just how many seats the opposition gets.

Mr Lee, who is also the Secretary General of the PAP, was addressing about 2,000 cadres at the party's 60th anniversary rally on Sunday (Dec 7). He said the General Election will be about whether Singapore continues to have a first world government, and not about "a first world parliament".

Mr Lee argued that the vision of a first world parliament set out by the opposition Workers' Party during the last election in 2011 has turned out to be an empty promise. Singapore's next General Election must be held by January 2017 at the latest.

Mr Lee said that every seat, GRC and SMC will be a national contest, and not just a local one. In addition, every seat will be a General Election, not a by-election.

Mr Lee said the opposition do not see their duty as being to bring people together, solve problems or plan for the future. This is because the opposition have not articulated any vision for Singapore, as they say they cannot form the government.

Mr Lee said the opposition have adopted this position because they are trying to avoid answering hard questions until they get elected. He also reminded cadres about the opposition parties' strategy to ask Singaporeans to vote for them so they can act as a check on the PAP, and make the Prime Minister and his team work harder.

Mr Lee said that if Singaporeans accepts this, Singapore will only see politicians checking each other, and there will be gridlock like in other countries. He added that for every one more "checker" in parliament there will be one less doer, thinker and leader in the government to serve the nation and the people.

And he said there may come a time when there will be no PAP to check, no able team of ministers working and solving problems for Singapore, and no progress for the country. Mr Lee urged party cadres to fight to win the election, and to win convincingly.

He said the party will reinforce the team further in the next General Election. The party already has already identified many promising candidates including a few potential office holders.
