Of Country or Party?

Been reading alot of an article by someone who is from Young PAP and claims to be a activist in PAP grassroots(hougang) since 2002..

what he wrote triggered quite a number of responses, and it worries me what the "new" generation of potential leaders can be thinking.

Firstly, the article he wrote
*do play attention to the many comments posted thereafter, i believe they are good representation of the "groundtalk"

A reply from a counterpart from Workers' Party
*i agree with many points, this guy is starting to impress me

My $0.02 worth:

Singapore, is a country that has been dominated by PAP since the beginning of my time. How this is infused into the minds of some members within the party is rather clear. PAP is the government, the government is PAP.

This is true, but only as long as the people vote PAP into power. (we can still have walkovers and get our govt in place)

What is the difference then? PAP is a political party while the government is formed by any political party that is able to secure enough votes to form the governement..

the main thrust of the current arguement is the upgrading in opposition-held wards in Singapore. To quote: "One cannot claim that he is a taxpayer and should benefit from the likes of those in a PAP constituency when he voted for the opposition. -Joel Leong

If the thoughts of this Joel holds true, anyone who votes for the opposition, including the 30%++ those in ang mo kio, aljunied etc, would not be able to say that they paid taxes and enjoy the benefits in the constituency..

what rubbish right?

what irritates me is the mindset of this Joel in PAP.. country above party pls, you mean the old folks, working class and their kids in Hougang are not singaporeans and deserves less because they voted for Low Thia Khiang?

pls, don't draw line between singaporeans, there shouldn't be a PAP-singaporean and non-PAP singaporean differentiation, its not fair

i despise such bias policy that will only disunite singaporeans even more and causes more resentment and unhappiness among the already stressful population

We are ONE, not white, not blue
