Isn't it similar to comparing a highly educated and weathy person to another who has the opposite status, except that both see the need to hoodwink and lie through the teeth?<br /><br />It has become increasingly apparent to many Singaporeans that they live in an environment with the highest form of corruption, one in which it is legally impossible to prove........sad indeed, but it is the brutal truth!SinCityhttp://theasiafile.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349632196064141356.post-67496907359586555042010-11-08T14:50:56.000+08:002010-11-08T14:50:56.000+08:00You mean LKY favourite department store dummies in...You mean LKY favourite department store dummies in orchestra / "parliament" analogy.<br /><br />That is why only in singapore's parliament you can see 82 PAP MPs and only 2 opposition MPs even though the votes won by PAP was only 66%...<br /><br />Won't be surprise in this coming general election in singapore...even if the PAP were to win by 0.1 percent...you will still see the same close set up in singapore's parliament...rinse and repeat...you will see again 80 plus PAP MPs and perhaps the usual 1 or 2 or 3 opposition MPs...<br /><br />And people called this a democracy?<br /><br />Yer not looking close enough.Anonymoushttp://theasiafile.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
