PAP has blurred line between State and party
THE cry for multi-party representation in Parliament is the People's Action Party's own doing ("A single party can't represent all views" by Mr Michael Cyssel Wee; last Friday).

The Executive in Singapore has bought the Legislative, the Judiciary remains chained.... "the ultimate anaesthetic for the brain".
 According to the doctrine of 'Separation of powers' [wiki]: for the purpose of upholding leadership integrity, a method of mutual check and balance between key organs governing a state ("executive, a legislature, and the judiciary") is instituted, each holding "separate and independent powers".

PM Lee why did PAP incr. the number of seats per GRC from 3/GRC in 1988 to 5.4 now?

Someone must ask PM Lee why PAP increased the number of seats per GRC from 3 in 1988 to an average of 5.4 in approx 2001, remaining at that level subsequently.

SG 'Grassroots Adviser': a Title born of Moral Ineptitude and a Conspiracy of Deceit.
Going by reports/ blogs in recent years such as 'How PAP uses taxpayer-funded grassroots for political gain' "It spent a total of $320 million last year.. PA’s chairman is none other than the Prime Minister [p.archive]. In PAP constituencies, PA always appoints the elected MP as the adviser. But in opposition wards, PA appoints the PAP candidate who lost in the last election, not the opposition MP" [G Giam, 10Oct2009],

DPM Wong: "..opposition pls come.. and help us better the constituency"

DPM Wong KS: "..I hope the opposition will come, give our voters a chance, and also help us understand what else we need to do (so as) to do better in the constituency."
