PAP offers to “upgrade” Potong Pasir and Hougang
October 3rd, 2009 | 
Author: From our Correspondent
In a sign that elections are coming, the PAP will be upgrading the lifts in the two opposition wards of Potong Pasir and Hougang, much earlier had expected.
The move to give the Life Upgrading Programme (LUP) to opposition wards earlier marked another U-turn by the Government, which had said after the 2006 election that opposition wards would be placed ‘at the end of the queue’ for LUP.
Upgrading of estates is often employed as a carrot to entice residents to vote for the ruling party which controls the purse-strings. A former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong once threatened to turn the opposition wards into “slums” if the residents persisted in voting for the opposition.
Nevertheless, despite the threats levelled at them by the PAP, the residents of both wards returned their opposition MPs into parliament with an increased margin during the last election.
The latest move by the PAP to upgrade the opposition wards may be a tactical ploy to sweeten the ground for its two losing candidates before the next election is called.
Strangely, the announcement came from the People’s Action Party’s (PAP) grassroots advisers in both wards, Sitoh Yih Pin of Potong Pasir and Eric Low of Hougang who are non-MPs instead of the official rightful MPs Chiam See Tong and Low Thia Kiang to create the erroneous impression that they have “won” the upgrading for the residents.
Hougang’s Eric Low even tried to claim credit for his party by proclaiming unshamedly to the state media that “it is a result of our efforts over the years.”
Neither Sitoh Yih Pin nor Eric Low deserved any credit for bringing LUP to the two estates since both are more than 20 years old and is in urgent need of upgrading to cater to the needs of the elderly residents living there.
Upgrading of HDB estates should be based entirely on needs instead of political affliations. The residents of Hougang and Potong Pasir pay taxes to the government yearly. The ruling party has no right to deprive them of upgrading.
The pork-barrel politics used by the ruling party has come under intense scrutiny and criticism in recent years.
Since more than 86 per cent of the population lived in public housing built by HDB, a government agency, the ruling party is in a position to determine the distribution of funds to the estates thereby enabling it to use it to threaten residents to vote for them during the elections.
Singaporeans should think twice before falling for the same gambit by the PAP again.
During the 1997 elections, residents of the hotly contested Cheng San GRC were promised a slew of amenities and facilities to upgrade their estate if they vote for the PAP which eventually won by a narrow 5 per cent margin.
Four years later, Cheng San GRC was broken up and divided among nearby GRCs like Ang Mo Kio to dilute the support base of the opposition. Nothing was ever heard about the PAP’s promise.
Posted in Editorial
The fact that Sitoh and Eric Low will be forming and chairing the working committee of the LUP for PP and Hougang shows how arrogant the PAP is by ignoring the elected MP of these SMCs.
They behaved as if they are using the PAP’s money to do the lift upgrading and not taxpayers money. Or is it our money is now their money ??

Ah… Sitoh , the loser clown who abuse tax money to score point to build a lamp post, after when lost to Chiam, deny his responsibility of finishing the lamp and push it to chiam. His mentor, the Marlboro Tan, who everyone hate, support Sitoh. If what Pappy is correct, everyone can built and promise anything because if they lost, they don’t have to do it anyway, and if they win, they can behave like Woody who says he did not plan for $100 millions upgrade and don’t know where the money will come from.
ah, Eric ? Another loser clown who publicly that he fork out personal money for sharkfin soup ? And he forget to say that he is buying supporter’s vote. I will definitely vote for him if he give me ten bowls of Sharkfin soup, and to show my appreciation and gratefulness, I will give him the deserved vote of No Confidence.
Such crap can even contest and run GRC. That is how corrupted the Pappy has been internally.

My Salute to Potong Pasirian with my Two Hand & Legs,
Keep on voting for Opposition even Chiam is not around.
Never give up this ward to the PAP (Papa Anak Party)

Don’t wait for me & I wait for U.
I wants Opposition, not in my constituency
This is a stupid thinking.

Temasek Review, I find your 1st sentence “PAP will be upgrading…” misleading. Firstly, there is NO confirmation that there will be upgrading in potong pasir and hougang constituencies, as reflected on HDB’s website http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10208p.nsf/WPDis/Lift%20Upgrading%20ProgrammePrecincts%20Announced%20for%20LUP?OpenDocument . HDB is administering flat upgrading programmes and a definitive sign of upgrading is when HDB makes an announcement of the precincts for upgrading.
Seondly, if upgrading for Hougang and Potong Pasir were set in stone, there would be no incentive for the people to vote for pap.
Hope that Temasek Review does not make misleading statements in favour of pap.
btw, it’s LifT Upgrading Programme, not Life. I wish I could upgrade my life to become a higher mortal.

The latest development may be a sign that the government has decided to be fair to all tax-paying Singaporeans in terms of lift-upgrading, by giving priority and deciding based on non-partisan criteria. Hopefully, this can be the start of a
desirable trend.
Btw, precincts in Potong Pasir and Hougang are only selected for lift upgrading. The final go-ahead is still subject to voting approval by the residents. It will be interesting if after all the hassle over the past years, there are inadequate majority votes for some reasons and the upgrading cannot proceed.

Singaporeans only know how to gossip, talk big and do nothing.. you people complain so much about pap. why don’t you guys do something instead of just complaining on some forum.. do you tink the government even read this?
If you dislike pap so much, then when election comes, don’t vote for them. Alternatively, speak your mind and voice your dislikes to pap, force them to listen to us and make changes to our benefits (i.e. too many imported goods (foreigners). No point talking so much nonsense and hiding at home not doing anything to make singapore a better place to live in. Singapore was once a place i call home but now with all the imported goods from all over Asia, can you still call singapore your home? There is no more sense of belonging when citizens are treated worst than foreigners. Being united in a common goal and solution will will make a difference.

I wouldn’t trust that PaPies will change and can change even if they swear on all their grandfather’s grave. Its all part of their wayang which they repeat elections after elections.
Having been in the system and hearing/knowing how the WHO and WHY works, NOTHING in Sinkapore is EVER going to change as long as the HEAD of the famiLEE is still KICKING. He is too arrogant and face loving to allow any changes.
Changes however, can and will come only OVER HIS DEAD BODY and when that happens, LHL (given that he actually was ‘pushed and elevated’ to be the PM with literally no qualities and experience), may NOT stay as the PM after the HEAD is 6 feet under. It will be the BETTER MAN WINS then.

Better that they don’t “offer” the LUP than to offer it and make it sound as if PAP is going to be magnanimous and benevolent to these opposition wards.
First, it is not PAP’s money.
Second, it is the government’s responsibility to treat all HDB estates fairly regardless of whether it is opposition ward or not.
Third, don’t mix politics with social infrastructure.
Fourth, stop treating the people in these estates like children. And the whole citizen population for that matter. They think they can dole out little candies and citizens will view them differently. Sad.

Sinkaporeans are NOW more educated, have seen the world and thanks to the Internet, more informed.

Kramer Wong, replying to your post is almost a definite waste of my time but since I got an hour to throw before I go date with my mistress, I shall waste it anyway.
Call me anything you like, anything you want. The fact is, I am NOT in Sinkapore and NEVER REGRETTED leaving Sinkapore.
Where I am right now, I am comfortably enjoying life without the hustler and buzz of Sinkapore with SPECIAL THANKS to idiots like YOU, who are still SADLY in Sinkapore.
The system paid me well which enable me to leave Sinkapore and many in the system will continue to do so after claiming their FAT BONUS CHEQUES.
Oh, and when I say ‘carrots and peanuts’, I wasn’t referring to money as in a plenty, I was inferring more towards the left overs and bread crumbs which people LIKE US left for IDIOTS LIKE YOU!
Thanks again to IDIOTS LIKE YOU for working so hard so that people like us can leave ON YOUR MONEY and SWEAT.
I am sure many in the system who are now or will be elsewhere sunbathing on a beach with a babelicious women will remember you well since it was IDIOTS LIKE YOU which made it all possible for people LIKE US.

To Kramer Wong,
The world isn’t stupid (like you) to invite MM (even at his advanced age) to lecture them.
Citibank pays MM millions each year and take back with interests from our reserves last year when our GIC invests billions in it.
The queue to come into Singapore to work, become a PR or citizen as you know is from here to HK long.
It is to become PR here, but not citizen that is long, for citizens from first world countries.
If the queue is that long from here to HK long, then the queue to become PR or citizen in Australia, New Zealand and Canada will be from here to Russia already.
It is true that people from Africa and Bangladesh will want to become citizen here but is it also true that the first class talents from these countries want to go straight to Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
In addition, how many 2nd and 3rd class talents from China and India take up citizenships? Most remain as PRs only for the benefits of 2nd generations.
My PR friend used to have all the perks of S’poreans and refused to take up SG citizenship cos he said there was no benefit. Just before his son got called up for NS, the entire family gave up the PR and they left SG. They can still visit SG including the son. Compare that with another friend whose entire family gave up SG citizenship and applied for exemption for NS for their son who emigrated with the family when he was 9. They made a mistake of extending his SG passport when he first left and Mindef decided he needed to do NS cos he “benefitted from SG citizenship”. The poor fella will be handcuffed/ imprisoned if he sets foot in SG. Is this fair? The ex PR friend always laughed when he got invitations to take up SG citizenship. Guess he does have the last laugh…

Kramer, read this to find out how silly is your “economies of scale” crab in today’s technology. Petroleum companies are doing HORIZONTAL directional drilling, re-entering “small” deposits from existing ( previously abandoned thought to be dry holes or too “small” deposit) drill holes.
http://www.enermaxinc.com/assets/images/contentimages/dirx_drilling.jpg
The Manaia field is located approximately 10 km SW of the Maari Field in Exploration Permit PEP 38413 in the offshore Taranaki Basin, New Zealand (Figure 1). The field was discovered in 1970 by the Maui -4 well.
…..The Manaia -1 appraisal well will be drilled as an extended reach HORIZONTAL well from the Maari
platform
http://imagesignal.comsec.com.au/asxdata/20090519/pdf/00954076.pdf
This Cue Energy’s Manaia-1 appraisal well was discovered in 1970 – that is almost 39 years ago and deemed uneconomic. Now a HORIZONTAL directional drilling, they access the same oil reservior to put that into production.
What ECONOMIES OF SCALE PRODUCTION in this instance?

Evidence of PAP loser
Read this in case the article will be “mysteriously taken down”
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/282914/1/.html
The highlights from the above article
“A year ago, a despondent Mr Eric Low fresh from a second straight morale-sapping electoral defeat at the hands of Workers’ Party (WP) chief Low Thia Khiang — decided that he would stop being taken for granted by Hougang residents. So, he slapped a fee on his previously free health-screening programme and stopped his Meet-The-People sessions and popular free breakfast service for the needy.”
“Over at the other Opposition-held ward Potong Pasir, however, Mr Sitoh Yih Pin — who also made his debut for the PAP in 2001 — has been keeping a low profile since his loss to Mr Chiam See Tong.
Resident Melvin Tan, 28, remarked: “It has been very quiet as compared to in the past. I’ve not seen Mr Sitoh or his people around.”
When contacted, Mr Sitoh said he had “no immediate plans” to resume his activities, including meet-the-people sessions, in Potong Pasir. According to grassroots leaders, residents have probably seen the last of the famous $2 shark’s fin soup and abalone porridge dished out at community events in the past.
Mr Sitoh’s right-hand man Chua Kian Meng said no community outreach events have been held since the elections. “So far, there’s been nothing. There’s also nothing planned,” he said.
Shortly after the PAP’s defeat in the two single-seat wards, Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong — who had thrown his political weight behind the two candidates – announced that both would cut back on their services to residents. They would also “act like an opposition” by pointing out faults in the two constituencies, Mr Goh had said.”
“WP chief Low could not be reached for comment on Sunday, but Mr Eric Low’s perseverance has not gone unnoticed by Hougang residents. Said 60-year-old Mr Ng: “He is still working very hard. We still see him making his rounds regularly.”
On the positive side, he still working very hard just to win election. But what is the point of this clown working hard who intention is not for the people, but for himself in pursue of joining Paplite circle for money, power and fame ? So after he win, he will abandon the citizens who vote him and start giving nonsense like MIW ?
That say it all how much Pappy loves to “serve” Singaporeans.

Why didn’t they make the same LUP after the shameful defeat in the last election in apologetic remorse of decades of threatening people living in these two contituency. Now just before the election, the “stolen carrot” inducement in place of big stick is NOT going to deceive anyone?. It is cynical old game.
They know in financially desperate times like this that many can’t afford to spend and it won’t go ahead. So milk it for whatever political capital there is of this cynical exercise of goodwill and false charity paid for by ALL SINGAPOREAN TAXPAYERS.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul will backfire when political credit is demanded of in this electoral hoax. People in that two constituents won’t forget how long they had to wait for their MRT lines.
