Thought of the Day - Democracy in Destruction, Dictatorship in the Making
Many people have spoken about bits and pieces of Conflicts of Interests in the appointment of AG and DAG, appointments of key positions in civil service and GLCs which are dubious with signs of cronyism and of course the "rigging" of the Elected Presidency by turning it into race based election which rules out potential strong contest from non PAP approved candidates etc...
Most people could only see the trees but not the whole forest. I was having dinner with a couple of friends and I explain to them that this is in fact a Dictatorship in the making but they couldn't really understand the whole picture.
As stated in PEOPLE's Power Party constitution, the fundamental principle which determine a Democracy is the Separation of 5 Powers. Most people would only know or familiar with the basic 3 Powers of Judiciary, Legislative and Executive but not the other two Powers. True enough my friends ask me what are the other two Powers?
I explain to them it is Power of Impeachment and Power of Appointment of civil servants (Examination).
In Singapore's context, the President who is supposed to safeguard our foreign reserves, is the key institution of Power of Impeachment together with CPIB. PSC which takes care of the civil service recruitment and appointment is the institution empowered with the function of Examination Power.
If we take a good look at what PAP is trying to do, we will realize that they are CONCENTRATING ALL THE FIVE POWERS under them by appointing their own people to the key positions.
They have controlled both the Executive and Legislative powers by default, then they started to influence heavily on the appointments of key personnel to civil service and a GLCs, sometimes even put their own family members in these important positions. Then they start to meddle with the whole judiciary system by appointing their own people to the AGC!
IF all these Five Powers are separated and independent of each other, we would have a good functioning Democracy with proper checks and balances. But the reverse would mean a total interdependent Powers tightly controlled by a centralized figure or organization. This would basically mean a total concentration of powers which in effect, turning our system into a live dictatorship!
Singaporeans should wake up to this fact that the Post LKY era will mean a tightening control of all Five Powers and the destruction of Democracy for Singapore will be completed without any effective system of checks and balances.
The Post LKY ERA is turning into a total nightmare for Singapore Democratic development...

The Post LKY ERA is turning into a total nightmare for Singapore Democratic development...
Goh Meng Seng
There is a even worse nightmare than above and which is as follows.
The Post LKY ERA did not enable the Sinkie opposition to be stronger, more united and ready to be govt.
So even if there is democracy and elections, majority voters are not prepare to give their votes to the opposition.
I mean how to, when Goh Meng Seng, Chee Soon Juan and Low Thia Khiang, just like Hsien Loong and Hsien Yang, are not even on speaking terms with each other! So how to expect them to be able to work together as govt if elected?
So isn't this a even worse nightmare for Sinkies and their future?
Like that how to have a better alternative than the PAP and a better future?
How?
Goh Meng Seng, besides blogging and facebook, what have you been doing for PPP as leader?
Or are you letting PPP sleep and only wake PPP up in time for next election?
Or are you even giving up on PPP as a political force for the future?
Seems like you are doing to PPP what your fellow politician and also another Hainan Ah Kor Tan Jee Say is doing to his SFP.
Hey Alvin why are the lifts, fires, drivers on roads with all the major accidents, men doing up skirt videos, murders, molestations, number 38, porridge stalls so on and so forth all going bonkers?
Alvin: We are still ok. The 3 heavy weights loong, hean and chok tong are not bonkers yet. If they do, the city might be morer deformed.
Profits are wounded and cost cutting are now very ordinary. Everything and everywhere are now falling to bits. Safety has been compromised.

Pinch of salt:-
We are an advance country but the children are suppose to look after by childcare centres.
We have good and integrity ministers but they lack practicality, flexibility and cannot think out of box.
We have the state-of the-art infrastructures but human beings live in cubby-holes.
We have the best roads but majority of drivers are bad and lack driving skills.
We have good schools, but most students lack EQ and street-smarts.
Shoot don't clear my tray .
We have no, 1 airport but we have robbers desperate for a few thousand dollars.
We are suppose to have a good SPF but maid murderer ,bank robber and Mas Salamat got away so easily.
We are an advance country but most rules and policies are way backwards.
Shit ,a few chee koh pek misuse their CPF, the whole country paid the penalty.
Really Beh tahan.
When see orh pays and a snake who which should be killed . Have lots and lots of orh pays head our organisation and they are twisting own tongue to made them feel like god.
