THE People's Action Party (PAP) chairman Lim Boon Heng said on Monday that a key issue that the party will fight the coming election on is the kind of future Singaporeans want for themselves and their children.
'Given the environment surrounding Singapore and the competition it faces, what kind of future do we want?' he said at the unveiling of the party's third batch of candidates at the PAP headquarters on Monday afternoon.
Responding to reporters' questions on the PAP's manifesto for the coming election, he said it would be released 'in due course'.
In the 2006 election, the manifesto was released on April 15, three weeks before polling day on May 6.
The latest new faces include the first Malay-Muslim candidate and the youngest PAP candidate among the total of nine introduced so far.
The trio are Mr Zainal Sapari, 46, an educator; Ms Tin Pei Ling, 28, an Ernst & Young consultant; and Mr Gan Thiam Poh, 48, a banker with DBS.
Future sure have. But will b SUFFERING FUTURE under d lightning banner, with so many priority 4 foreigners.
They STILL HAFNT deliver their promise of MORE GOOD YEARS!!
you must think loong term.

Singaporeans will fight:
- With Foreign talent for their jobs.
- For seats in MRT and buses.
- For schools for their kids.
- For carpark space in their estate.
- For survival to pay their ever rising living cost and debts.
Croonies will fight:
- Input more FTs to meet their KPI and make businessmen happy.
- To increase their salary.
- To get more CBL directorship.
- For free scholarship for their kids.
- For bonus points in front of their boss.
So, what is the definition of "singaporeans" for croonies ?
pre April Fool joke
PM asks what kind of future we want? haha that's a no brainer. The same old stale rhetoric cannot be repeated time and again. Once we give you the mandate, all your salaries will draw a parallel with that of the president's.
Fuck ya! No more shit :)
His mandate -
Make his old man the Number 1 man so he can become immortal and have his face on all the notes.
Erect another nanny M to replace his old man.
Increase all the salaries for his croonies.
Remove all the uncle croonies who object his way of doing stuff.
Enrol more babes under 30 to spice up the house.
Fix all those dare to stand against his croonies.
Build a 3rd IR and become the "Gaming" Kingdom of Asia.
Be thankful God gave us such a good government.

Hail Mammon, vote for the PAP.
Opposition wants GRC for wrong reasons: Wong Kan Seng
The deputy prime minister urged Singaporeans not to vote for the sake of having more opposition and back the stronger team that can serve them better. -AsiaOne
In 2006GE, PM Lee did say that if just 10 opposition members
entered parliament, he would "...spend all my time thinking what's the
right way to fix them, to buy my supporters votes, how can I solve this
week's problem and forget about next year's challenges?.. " ('PM Lee says countries worldwide respect and admire Singapore's proven system')
Raising his own salary less than 1 year later just to enunciate this point [ST Pict].
I wonder, besides now having to pay Ministers not to be corrupt ('Singapore ministers set for million-dollar pay hike'),
do we still also have to maintain our dear PM's sanity by keeping away
from him, any possible opposition politicians in parliament (i.e.
restrict the number of opposition members in parliament to 9 or less) as
he so insists?
Will demands upon citizens to accept the PAP's free-reign to contravene statutory/ constitutional rules- 'Town Council Act (CAP 329A) states clearly that Govt must work with Town Councils (run by MPs) to implement LUP', the blatant misappropriation of public funds- ('How PAP uses taxpayer-funded grassroots for political gain', 'Upgrading should be a separate issue from the General Election'), the imposition of double standards on the conduct of the civil service '‘Adviser over MP’ raises many questions'[alt link] ever be relieved/ justified?
There can only be one reason for
this degenerate state of moral political leadership-- the unbridled
urge to financially profit at all cost.
Singaporeans are as complicit as the PAP in the state run worship of Mammon (the profligate pursuit of prosperity).
Majulah Singapura, Onward Singapore, the future is one of self-accomplished state of eternal perdition.

And this was the tragic result of this union with 'prosperity' [Video@1m25s]:
Majulah Singapura.

Hypocrite Singapore AFOL! One moment say things against them another moment praise them for good government. You are treating politics like you treat religion.
How many times you change your underwear everyday?
2006 PAP slogan: Staying Together, Moving Ahead
2011 PAP slogan: Breaking Away, Leaving You Singaporean Behind
More like fighting for their multi-million dollar salaries.

I agree. Singapore is so much more safe and peaceful, unlike countries like Libya, Thailand etc where the leaders are so inefficient and corrupted. Who wants to live in countries filled with poverty, crimes and disharmony..kids there don't have good education and safe environment to grow up in, to be the best they can be.

A future with million dollar 2 bedroom HDBs while lesser mortals make $1,000 a month.
A future where the majority of purebred Singaporeans are unemployed while all the jobs go to foreigners.
Just look at the volunteers among the PAP camp, there are Foreigners and PRs! They are hoping for a good future in Singapore.

New citizens better be wary.
The old citizens will soon cease to exist, leaving the new citizens to fend for themselves in the future.
