Way2GO:
some were sidelined due to ideological differencesverykiasu2010:
those who are the \"new PAP\" from within the party should just openly walk out and form a new party and would probably win more votes any time
d tipping point has not been reached yet.
Those who continue to toe d line r well taken care of.
Actually, TCB's 'plight' is an example.
some were sidelined due to non-performance
some were sidelined due to skull too thick that public outcries on bad policies were not heard -

So GY falls into one of these categories

some were sidelined due to non-performance
some were sidelined due to skull too thick that public outcries on bad policies were not heard
or was he collateral damage in GE2011? -
Way2GO:
if they could move Lim Swee Say from Bukit Timah - Holland to the East, why could't they move GY if there is a need to 'save' him; or PAP/LHL really thought GY could save his GRC......no doubt he polled more than 50% but was pulled down by other team members

the GRC system is a two-edged sword now -

Good point.

Whether GY wins or loses in Aljunied, it's win-win for LHL tactically, yes?
Agree on \"the GRC system is a two-edged sword\".
How some would hv thot d dominant party had suddenly turned magnanimous
in reducing the GRC size, increasing SMCs n NCMPs in GE2011.

looking at it positively, the process and the system is maturing alongside the electorate

People take time to accept changes, and to move along with changes. Apple was far too advanced in the earlier years that people are simply not ready for them. But when the time comes, there is no turning back. Perhaps in the political environment, it will take another GE or 2.. -

You mean their pricing? far too \"out of reach\"....

Apple was ahead of its time in those days, and yes, far too expensive for the mass - now that you mention it, doesn't it sound familiar - \"out of the world\" pricing? Maybe our leaders are \"ahead of time\"

Yes, certainty, in a way. Yesterday, heard the news about declining birth rate and not enough population..

In the early 70's.. WHO IS THE ONE WHO TELL SINGAPOREANS TO \"STOP AT TWO\" ?!. Sorry for the caps..

Government intervention should have a limit. Ours don't seem to know where to stop. Now still want to think about using American English? Suggestions should remain suggestions and implementions should be debated over parliament. Problem is when decisions are made by only one or two men.
The policies that seem so 'far-sighted' at the time of implementation sees results only decades later. There are many other policies that liken this e.g. eliminating chinese schools, removing farmlands...two of the which cannot cannot bear fruit until another few decades later. It is easier to cut trees down and build more buildings than to grow a forest, like it is easier to kill a fetus than bringing up a child..
