Tanjong Pagar Town Council: Fill & Download for Free

This had been spread through through the lens of Western media, who measure Singapore government through Western democracy standards and approaches. Singapore government like many in East Asia operated through Asian ethnics and values.The Press not recognized as fourth estate, but support the government in bring its people through its policies. Unity and prosperity being very important.Rule of law - the government not allow to be slandered and seeks evidences for accusationsConfucius values of respect seniority and not embarrass them in public (parents, their governments) and more importantly, keeping internal only within the family. “don't wash dirty linen in public”. And if any bad let out, is handled internally - family matters/So it really appears that really non-transparent to outsiders, foreign press especially.However the silver lining is there are many ways Singaporeans that can feedback to the government including website, forums and more importantly weekly meet your MP (seriously, you can meet your MPs on weekly basis)Tanjong Pagar Town CouncilEast Coast-Fengshan Town CouncilOr protest at the Speakers Corner… model after London’s feedback approach… not so successful in my view. Well Singapore, as a very small country, medium size city that is among most connected and digital. You don’t have to shout too loud to be heard.

Hey Kelvin! Thanks for the A2A! I think Singapore is not really willing to cross the line towards becoming a fully-fledged democracy as it would entail:1) Striking down all censorship laws, especially those regarding race and religion. 2) For the government and the people to welcome an oppositional, inquisitorial press. 3) Doing away with all GRCs. 4) Lowering barriers for political office, especially for the President. 5) Fully legalising protests, demonstrations and strikes (though participants would still be liable for property damages etc.)However, to tell you the truth, I actually have less faith in the opposition than the PAP. They have no idea how to run a government and as much as the government came down on them over Aljunied Town Council, the Workers’ Party made some elemental mistakes that mid-level managers in the private sector would not make. Not exactly qualities you’d want in leaders that would have important roles in APEC, ASEAN, the G20 and the global financial system.I’m not exactly sure what the chances of the opposition forming the government are, but they’re really, really bad. For one, the elected opposition MPs actually have to contribute to the national debate but most of what I see is incoherent dreck that would ruin Sg’s financial standing. Also, they are not going after the right people — now that LKY is dead, opposition leaders should be lining up to contest Tanjong Pagar GRC and do as much damage to Chan Chun Sing as possible. Chan is untested and green and pressuring him in the right way might cause him to crack. Doing this after he has been anointed the next PM would precipitate a leadership crisis. They need to turn their firepower on each of the major contenders for PM and do their best to unseat them or inflict irreparable political and reputational damage. That’s about the least they can do — in order to win, they’ll have to split the PAP’s vote banks in the elderly, professionals, the civil service and minorities. Not that I think they’ll do a good job, running the government though. The opposition is terrible. At everything.
