An open appeal to Mr Kenneth Jeyaretnam

Why not classify “SINGAPORE” as one big GRC for the PAP elections?

Why not classify “SINGAPORE” as one big GRC for the PAP elections?

I don’t know if any of you notice this, but the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) falls under PM Lee’s “care” and it is a no brainer that the carving out of GRC’s would be in favor of the PAP. So how are we to have fair elections, when the election date is not announced to enable the opposition to prepare... 

PAP cutting upcoming election losses with budget giveaways

PAP cutting upcoming election losses with budget giveaways

PAP has plunged itself into third world Asian countries politics by trying to appeal to electorate through giveaways. In Malaysia, the BN and PKR love promising the heaven and angels.

Let us help to resolve Reform Party’s issue

Dr S J Chee It is most unfortunate that developments in the Reform Party (RP) have come to a head causing some of its members to resign from the party. The SDP has indicated that it is in no position, nor does it wish, to comment on the matter. Our position still stands. We have friends on both sides, both in the RP and...

A non-partisan analysis on the recent RP exodus

A non-partisan analysis on the recent RP exodus

Tony & Hazel The recent exodus of about 20 members from the Reform Party (RP) has caught the attention of Singaporeans. Many have lamented that one of the most promising opposition party have self-destructed, and that once again the opposition is in a state of pathetic disarray, with their seeming inability to keep... 

Of Gods and Animals

Of Gods and Animals

Before xenophobia reared its ugly head, foreign workers coexisted peacefully with Singaporeans, except for the odd episode with the Serangoon Gardens dormitory. Filipina domestics stay with the same employer for as long as 16 years, and shipyards hire NTS (non-traditional source) workers routinely to handle the dirty, difficult... 

PKMS: The overall 2011 electoral boundary has no significance

PKMS: The overall 2011 electoral boundary has no significance

Press Statement The government proposed to increase more SMCs and to reduce no of MPs in each GRC, so the election department is just to comply to that, but what is carved out to become SMCs is just to make up numbers, either add or reduce.
