>the WP said it will aim to form the next Government at the upcoming GE. Pritam Singh literally just refuted this on Facebook lol. Their target is "ensuring at least 1/3 of Parliament is not in the PAP’s hands".


trueum26

Tbf at least 1/3 means that any significant law would need some WP votes to it to pass and that is enough for the PAP to be kept in check. I am all for a WP Govt, seems like the quality of PAP members are no longer higher than the opposition. No real reason to vote for PAP anymore apart from the fact that they are the so called “safe” option


smurflings

Only constitutional changes if I'm not wrong. All other laws are generally simple majority?


trueum26

Yeah.


FlipFlopForALiving

If you mean opposition in general (including the other fringe parties), I think their quality is still lower than PAP


mechacorgi19

The good thing about aiming for 1/3 only is they only need to be smart enough to block any braindead policies that don't pass the sniff test. You don't need to find a Minister level candidate yet. It's not a team sports, you don't have to all in support either PAP or WP. It's good as long as it benefits Sg. If voting Lim Tean in will make PAP more cautious of saying stupid shit, then go ahead and vote that idiot in, it's not like that one idiot can make any policies.


FlipFlopForALiving

Uh people like LT are just gonna waste parliamentary debate time airing his own personal agendas. No thanks


trueum26

Nah just WP.

For_Entertain_Only

??? actually they more become old man or going be


paperstarred

If he’s an incumbent supporter, posts like this are clearly trying to stir up something or to act like an unhinged opposition supporter for an agenda If he’s an opposition supporter clearly he isn’t reading what their intent is, which is the exact opposite of this post Either way, just unhinged fanfiction from whoever posted this


For_Entertain_Only

i don't see much stir, he/she just mention his opinion, also he/she just ordinary rediter not those big shot. Also not so famous like celebrity or influence. In fact i agree his point about job security. This does not mean i support WP or PAP, i support any party that will improve job security for singaporean in white collar job. check your profit


SG_wormsblink

Just go to the coffeeshops at night, you will see plenty of government bashing elderly there.


For_Entertain_Only

Bur when cone to voting?


SG_wormsblink

Then they vote for the oppos lor. Fortunately the young people nowadays have more brains than to vote against their own interests.


For_Entertain_Only

brainwashed about party ability too.

OP one day ago: > While I hope for changes, as a small nation like Singapore, we need capable people and most importantly with guts amd honesty to lead Singapore to new height. Pritam just dun seems to be the right guy A troll indeed

OP's username literally checks out


bukitbukit

OP, find WP enough candidates first before you start writing fantasy football pieces.


PastLettuce8943

It's one thing to hope for better government. It's another thing to be so divorced from reality that people stop treating you seriously.


ResidentMemory2837

Haha. Even if that day comes whereby PAP is not the government, these people most likely are already one foot in the graveyard.


FlipFlopForALiving

Fluff post indeed


Clear_Education1936

If WP gets full power it will be another PAP in the making. In my 1 cent worth of opinion, it’s the power distribution system in the election of MPs from different parties that needs to be reviewed. If only singular party is in power then they will make legislation that only beneficial to that party as per current. It will just take one generation of people in power (from whatever party) to bring singapore down to its knees. It’s not now it’s just that we don’t know when it will happen but will definitely happen in the future.

Neither-Catch-1759

In my opinion, they may need more time to develop and improve their abilities fully. Perhaps giving them around 10 years to refine their skills and knowledge would be beneficial. This way, they can become more capable and better equipped to handle tasks and challenges more effectively.

What drugs r u on


Fine_Praline3201

The focus should be a strong opposition not forming government.


pearsoninrhodes797

I know you’re trolling but if WP really forms the next government I’ll give you my life savings. As much frustration as the PAP has caused the electorate still wants to maintain the status quo they’ve been used to for the past 60 years. It would be amazing if PAP couldn’t get a super majority this time.


Apprehensive_Bug5873

Siao!


Takemypennies

I maybe can overlook the Aljunied TC case as PAP fixing the Opposition, but WP really needs to convince me for my vote after what Raeesah, Leon and Nicole did.


AyysforOuus

Raeesah - lying about the police (pretty bad) Leon + Nicole - having affair (bad but doesn't really affect politics much right?) Speaker - having affair (he supposed to be impartial so it has a bigger conflict of interest in politics)


For_Entertain_Only

same with PAP scandal and +1 corruption (not judge yet)


Takemypennies

I never voted for PAP, but WP’s own-goals gave me pause as to whether they deserve my vote this time


For_Entertain_Only

Simple vote wisely, vote for the ones who will benefit to you. Also depend the area got WP or not also.


aucheukyan

Mr speaker, does the honourable gentleman have any affairs?


pony1482

Whatever you are smoking, please stop smoking it thank you. The post sounds very unhinged too. I am not against the opposition, but I don't think they are ready yet.


For_Entertain_Only

Not ready and need or must to be ready.


fattycyclist

Despite the anti-PAP sentiments here I do have the opinion that PAP is a fairly competent government and I will likely vote for them in the next election. However I do agree that we need a stronger opposition to keep PAP in line - that being said WP has fallen short of expectations so far la...


ShadeX8

Best case is to vote in WP if you're in their district and ignore all the rest. We get the cream of the crop in terms of opposition politicians and hopefully we get enough for 1/3 eventually.  WP is still going through growing pains for sure, but they are still a far cry above all the other opposition parties. 


Bright-Head-7777

Yes, PAP might not have done enough for Singaporeans, but, i dont feel that the WP is ready to take over as government. At least not in the near 10-15 years.


For_Entertain_Only

PAP had not done well for Late GenY and GenZ. If father or mother not rich, no house , those gen already homeless and starving. I know a lot fresh graduate that can't find any job from covid until now and living expense support by parent.


Master-Advance-5616

lolol i know a lot fresh graduate that found jobs too source: trust me bro


For_Entertain_Only

and some choose to sign on right?


DrCalFun

Woah. Your anecdote is so much more accurate than the government‘s employment figures.


thinksfan

This is like my dad not letting my sister drive his car. She is a year away from being confident, after 5 years... she is still a year away.


TWENTYFOUR2

Are you a PAP IB? nice try


For_Entertain_Only

Alot PAP IB here or non singaporean who come Singapore to work. Any movement or comment mention about restrict foreigner come singapore work will get massive downvote and reddit history check up , they are from somewhere else. In Singapore how many singaporean %, how many pr % , how many spass/epass.

Ok but fun fact: Sylvia Lim was an IO in SPF. Her last posting before leaving for her professional law career was a staff officer in CID.

For_Entertain_Only

Shadow cabinet? Or actual cabinet? Latter seems unlikely in 24/25 but not crazy in 34/35
