The Great Tribulation
Aka the Great Distress
is Coming Soon!!!!

[martinlee]

Singaporeans do not really want a two or multi-party government. They do not trust the opposition or any non-PAP entity to run the country. What they want is a less elitist, less arrogant, more responsive and more liberal PAP to fix their trains, their lifts, their homes and their jobs.

Yes, Singaporeans do want more opposition, but enough only to frighten the PAP to do better.

While some like myself have long resigned ourselves to the fact that the PAP is incapable of reforming itself, many others continue to implore, plead and petition, on bended knees, in the hope that it will change.

The other half is less obvious but more telling: Singaporeans simply DO NOT WANT change or reform badly enough to risk any inconveniences to their jobs, their families and their lives.

Chee Soon Juan is wrong. Democracy is not for everyone, and not everyone wants democracy. Some societies and cultures, such as the Arab nations, eventually fall back to a default authoritarian mode, despite the promises of Arab Spring uprisings.

After 57 years of uninterrupted one-party rule, I’m afraid Singapore has become such a country.
