But at least they had vision, and they refused - or should I say, tried hard to avoid - to play pork barrel politics. Today, the PAP has sunk so low, lack idealism, and has no new ideas.<BR/><BR/>Your upgrading policies are driving a wedge, a deep division, between the peoples of Singapore. Your attempt to win votes by using such tactics will cost Singapore dearly in the future.<BR/><BR/>You cannot turn back the march of time: Singaporeans DO want an alternative voice in Parliament. They dont want totalitarian rule, no matter how many bowls of rice it has delivered on the table. Even those who hold that PAP should still govern Singapore, also want an opposing voice in PArliament.<BR/><BR/>Don't deny us that need, please.<BR/><BR/>Please go back to "Go" and touch base with your soul. All of us, regardless of our political persuasion, are first and foremost Singaporeans. The government's treatment of its population must be based on that high principle - Singaporeans FIRST. Political association a far second if not last.<BR/><BR/>The government must uphold that principle. Not to do so will further shape Singaporeans to think their flat first, Singapore last. Are constituents in PAP wards first class citizens and those in oppo wards second class?<BR/><BR/>Your upgrading carrot may be good for your PAP, but will ultimately be destructive for Singapore as a nation.<BR/><BR/>Mr Goh, may I respectfully ask you: if a war should break out, do you not expect a soldier who votes for the opposition, to stay on the frontline and defend our little pigeonhole flats and your swanky & expensive property??? Or should the soldier's will to fight be based on whether he got his flat upgraded or not?<BR/><BR/>And if I relocate my shop to Hougang, may I pay less tax and no GST please? Afterall, you do not intend to spend any taxpayers' money on the precinct anyway so you dont need all that money. <BR/><BR/>These are pertinent questions, Mr Goh.<BR/><BR/>You want to win an election, win it fair and square, with dignity, based on your vision of how you can make Singapore a better place for Singaporeans first.<BR/><BR/>Win the election, if you can, based on what MORE you can do for Singapore, not what you can take away from the opposition.<BR/><BR/>Let pork barrel politics be the game of lesser men. <BR/><BR/>- peasantJUDGE<BR/> on Sammyboy Alfresco Coffeeshop Forum<BR/>28th March 2006<BR/><BR/>***pls show our support for all Singaporeans, regardless of race, language, religion, political beliefs or constituency.
