It explains what might happen when the PAP lose power. The writer said that it will not cause long term damage to the future of the country. In fact, things will turn out to be better. Watch the video.

I agree with the views of the writer almost completely. Singapore will do better under a new government - even a coalition government involving the PAP. The old policies will have to be changed and the new policies will be be better for the people. He cited Hong Kong that went through a bigger change (i.e. transfer of power from UK to China in 1997, and life continue to improve.)

If the new government does not have the people with the right experience to run the ministries, they can find loyal and competent Singaporeans to give advice to the ministers. Even the President of the United States of America has to appoint a Council of Economic Advices and a National Security Council to advice him on the key decisions. He is able to find the most competent people for this role and they do not have to be elected politicians.

that are repeated at every GE, as if Singapore really could not survive
without the PAP. No political Party
in the whole world is indispensable.
That is the meaning of Democracy.
We do not dispute what the PAP has done for Singapore, but the new leadership is rotten to the core, they are bad, callous, selfish,
gold-diggers and arrogantly incompetent. Change we must, to save our country, don't want more sin industries just to boost GDP
growth that only benefits them, leaving us the scraps and bones of the fish.; April 30, 2011 10:36 AM

Are Ministers appointed by the President and must they be member of Parliament first ?; April 30, 2011 5:38 PM

I have children.
And I have to use private tutors because the school teachers are not able to adequately cover the syllabus in school.

Class size is 41 children.
No different than when I was in primary school 40 years ago.

Let's say we now we appoint a real life monkey as the next Education Minister.
Will anything change?
How much worse can it get?

Subra said...: I agree with your view. People have become so used to the PAP in power that they are unable to envisage a government without them.
In the end the country is in safe hands with the same well-oiled civil service. With a new government and new Cabinet ministers, we are just going to see policy changes. The system is not going to collapse because all the government departments will continue to run as they always have.; May 01, 2011 2:45 AM
Unknown said...: "Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear -- kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor -- with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant funds demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real."
