The Full Minister

The President's Scholar who later became COA and then left Army to join Politics is now a Full Minister.

Before that you were just Acting, we all know.

Congrats, MG Chan Chun Sing.

Nevermind you never get a single vote from GE2011, nevermind you have no background in grassroots, and nevermind your famous KeeChiu speech.

And because you are specially hand-picked by Papa Lee,

You even get to be part of the funeral team of Madam Kwa.

This is the true essence of Meritocracy in Singapore.


The President's Scholarship - PASSPORT to Cabinet - the scholarship Hsien Loong also has.

Which is the very reason why our Primary School PSLE kids are so stressed up... because ALL PARENTS know this truth.


Will Ah Sing eventually becomes the Prime Minister of Singapore ?

Honestly, he is the chosen one.

But Hsien Loong put Swee Keat before him because he understands that Chun Sing is not that ready yet.

Even if Chun Sing must be PM, someone must warm the seat first.

The day might come when PAP is fully under this funny man.

No offense, Ah Sing, your clowny disposition might just win you the support you need, as compared to Chuan-Jin the very serious man, or Ah Cai the flamboyant.


Remember, Photos don't lie.


God Bless!

The Future of GRCs

In GE2011, about 40% of Singaporeans voted for the opposition.

But only 6 opposition members managed to get into parliament, against 81 PAP members.

This was just a tiny 7%.

( The 7th member added in 2013 made the percentage just look slightly better at 8%.)

Why is that so?

This is the effect of The Redrawing of Electoral Boundaries, or what many called as Gerry-Mandering.

The tactic of GRC coupled with nicely drawn lines are the very reason why PAP has been able to control the parliament.

But if PAP really wants to play the game this way, there is Glad Tidings for the opposition camp.

Let me explain.


Assuming one day, the opposition percentage rises from 40% to 49%, the game will start to have a twist.

If you look at the diagram i provided, you will see that once the Blue Team's support is as high as 43 out of 87, or rather 49.42528%, they will not just secure just 1 GRC and 2 SMCs.

Rather, it shall be approximately 6 GRCs and 8 SMCs (out of 15 GRCs and 12 SMCs).


How can it be?? You might ask...

This is the law of Mathematics: patterns, groupings and distribution.

If a group of 30% opposition supporters gathered in a region, the PAP could easily cut the pie and evenly distribute them into minorities in various GRCs.

If the percentage rises to 40%, only 1 GRC and 2 SMCs are in the pockets of the Blue Team.

But when the odds rises to nearly 50%, even a 49.9 can start a domino effect and cause a shakeup.

If you do not believe in my theory, just simply:

1. Get a piece of paper
2. Draw 44 circles and 43 crosses.
3. Randomly divided them into 15 groups of (4,5,6) and 12 singles.
4. Try as much as possible to give the circles(The PAP) an advantage and make the crosses just minorities in the group.

You will be surprised how many Wins the Crosses can get.


And with that, may God help the Blues.


Thia Khiang was actually grinning from ear to ear... haha

All the opposition needs is to convince another 9% of the eligible voters to SWING their votes to the BLUES.

And I assure you that day will            come.

BN's National Day Message 9 Aug 2013

Dear fellow Singaporeans,

It is a privilege to be able to address my fellow citizens in the Golden Era of our country.

Singapore has never been so prosperous. As mentioned by PM Lee last night, unemployment rate is kept low and the country's community has been very cohesive.

During the Haze attack in June, we can see how we as a nation come together to put the N95 masks in the community, for the needies. The Haze is an example of a National Emergency. We must always stay vigilant and prepared by attacks of the nature.

Today as we celebrate our 48th National Day, I would like to highlight an important aspect of Nationalism.

There is a time to support the ruling party and there is a time to support your own belief.

You must always ask yourself, is the ruling Party still in touch with the ground? Or are we as a community more cohesive among ourselves instead?

Let me give you an example:

The MDA new ruling on licensing the online news websites.

Are we having a government that is over-regulating the community, to the extent of even the netizens? Is this a sign that the government is worried of people sharing information in the cyberspace?

The government warns us against DRUMS - Distortions, Rumours, Untruths, Misinformation and Smears. They are thus trying very hard to clean up the social media. Are they actually insinuating that people have no brains to discern what is true and what is false?

How about the newspaper that we read everyday? Or the TV and Radio? Is every word spoken or written through these mainstream media always FACTS? Or are they just OPINIONS?

If you read the night papers, you would find it easy to read speculating news by the reporters about celebrities. Should we thus ban them ALL AT ONCE??

Ladies and Gentlemen, we are Singaporeans and if you are reading my message, I bet you are likely to be an active Netizen. When the country first started in 1965, the media was controlled by Kuan Yew with an ironfist.

Today, Hsien Loong is doing the same thing.

I wonder if silencing his critics online will help him prevent the loss of another GRC in GE2016.

We have three more precious years to anticipate the outcome.

Last but not least, let us netizens STAND TOGETHER AS ONE, and we share not DRUMS but TRUTH and LIGHT.


HAPPY NATIONAL DAY.
