Firstly, money politics are categorised into 2 types. Overt and Covert. If you give money quietly to the voters, that’s covert and that’s ILLEGAL. If you give money publicly, that’s overt and that’s LEGAL. :)

Secondly, presidents are categorised into 2 types. The talk back type and the obedient type. If you talk back, then you’re considered a threat to the government and will eventually cause chaos. If you’re the obedient type, you will help to keep the PEACE cos you simply let the government do their thing. :)

Thirdly, gaining power and money are categorised into 2 types. The give me HIGH salary to stop my greed type, and the give me basic salary and tempt me type. If you give HIGH salary (in the hundreds of thousands), that’s considered LEGAL cos its open and acknowledged. But if its the basic type, you’re courting corruption.

You see there’s always 2 sides to a coin. Some coins have 4 sides…ingots.

* Should Singapore be compared with the 3 world countries like Malaysia or Indonesia? Why not? We’re not exactly 1st world you know?

fievel and Lindia – Thanks for keeping me going! :)

“If a lie is repeated again and again, one day people will believe it to be the truth”.

Can you remember someone in the government once said, “If a lie is repeated again and again, one people will believe it to be the truth” or words to that effect. I think it was LKY himself who said that, if my memory serves me well.

So, Singaporeans now seriously need people like Gerald Giam and many other similarly passionate bloggers to refute such “lies” and open their eyes and ears, so that they will stop falling into the PAP’s psychological warfare traps.

Good work, Gerald. Please continue to write and write and write. I enjoy reading your articles. Thank you very much.
