and i can tell you.. it F-king turns me off. with all due respect, it reminds me of a certain religion who tell you their religion is the one and only one in the world.
i think.. the PAP has done well. but they are too buried in their own success. example: MBT and his HDB story. elitism breeds elitism, and it has become some form of "incest". what do you get when the entire generation marries within the family? the future generation gene pool gets diluted and sick. it becomes tunnel vision. that's whats happening with each new generation of ministers. more and more civil servants. less and less commercial/business/"real world" people.
i do not think all this mudslinging on the internet is healthy. TRE/real singapore websites are just protesting for the sake of protesting. that is not right.
but we do need to strike a good balance in between. GE2011 has done right, but as long as the PAP does good work from now on, i have no complains.
