It doesn’t seem to encourage more than a handful of people to engage with the PAP. And the PAP contributors appear to be a bit too busy to respond frequently. I don’t think this is the way to engage a broad spectrum of Singaporeans. Lip service to the engagement process?

To be fair to you, you might a footsolider trying to be Brigadier General. You all can always don’t waste time here or even in Parliament. Keep on snoozzzzzzzing and see what happens.

When someone wants to stir a hot issue up, s/he needs to be prepared to handle it. After stirring it up and with no answers to even the most glaring questions, the only way out is to let the fire die a natural death. I can understand that.

I started out non anti-PAP but your arrogance has got to me and I am taking a stand.

Spore is supposed to be a modern, democratic country with top educated people but some ‘footsoldiers’ in this forum sound like the Red Guards of early Communist China. How to progress? If you cannot critique policies, how do you fine tune?

I am glad you clarified. Give them the benefit of the doubt, they do not know what they are doing but what is dumbfounding is the people cannot do anything about the conflict of interest.

The Goverment is the business operator cum regulator cum tax collector. Take Cartelling for eg, it is illegal but if the Govt is the operator, who regulates, and vice versa. Then on taxes, do GLCs pay taxes on profits? Isn’t it one pocket to the other if they do? Its wrecking my poor head.

I read through the earlier comments and someone reckon the ‘opposition’ here got their asses kicked. To see such words from the dominant side when they can’t even hold an argument is very off putting. These people are either childish or they have let their bloated bank accounts & papers gone to their heads.
