新加坡总统选举
为什么人民行动党试图将 PE2023 的候选人列入候选名单，就好像它是包办婚姻一样？
虽然许多新加坡人为自己是发达经济体的公民而感到自豪，但讽刺的是，为什么我们当中还有那么多人无法批判性思考，这难道不奇怪吗？
以即将到来的PE2023为例，所有候选人必须经过人民行动党领导的政府筛选和批准才能由人民决定，这不是像包办婚姻吗？
人民行动党真的认为它仍然具有道德权威，可以在新加坡人的生活中扮演父亲的角色吗？
就像过去的精英们力图在自己的圈子里包办联姻一样，人民行动党仍然陷入了这种错误的思维，认为只有他们才能吸引最好的候选人，所有的部长都“比白更白”。
事实是，利用金钱政治来吸引和留住政客和活动人士，已经开始适得其反，从过去几年困扰人民行动党的无休无止的丑闻和婚外情中可以看出。
PE2023 资格赛机制存在系统性缺陷：
就像因果报应一样，无尽的丑闻以及人民行动党信任和道德的侵蚀，也放大了我们选举中使用的资格机制的系统性缺陷，特别是在即将到来的PE2023中。
虽然尚达曼可能因部长级任命而获得参加 PE2023 竞选的自我资格，但从技术上讲，他也可能被总统选举委员会“PEC”取消资格，该委员会被赋予巨大的“自由裁量权”，尽管它没有得到总统选举委员会的授权。 人民，为他担任主席期间马航遭受的 308 亿新元巨额损失表示感谢。
Michelle Lee 正确地指出了这一点，她已向陈清木博士请愿参加 PE2023。
对于许多人民行动党精英来说也是如此，他们可以简单地参加任何一次总统选举，只是因为他们都被授予了某种帝国印章。
你知道吗，名誉扫地的国会议长陈川镇如果决定参加，仍然有资格参加PE2023，因为他没有被李显龙总理解雇，而是被允许辞去职务，因此，可以保留所有权利 他的退休津贴和福利，包括他参加 PE2023 或以后比赛的权利？
如果他这么做了，PEC敢不敢以他的婚外情证明他不是一个品行良好的“间接证据”为由，取消他的参选资格，最终也证明了目前有利于政客的资格标准是 有缺陷，应该报废吗？
如果教育部长陈振声决定参选总统，却在接待外国政要时无法宣读国家誓言怎么办？
如果维维安·巴拉克里希南（Vivian Balakrishnan）或尚穆根（S. Shanmugam）尽管遭遇了里杜特（Ridout）的丑闻惨败，但仍决定参加我们的任何一次总统选举，情况也是如此。
在所有参加 PE2011 竞选的陈氏家族中，有多少人知道陈健联尽管是唯一失去选举保证金的候选人，但“技术上”仍然有资格参加 PE2023？
到现在为止，你能看出PE2023目前使用的排位机制到底有多么愚蠢和有缺陷吗？
病态的是，PE2023目前的形式难道不是一场包办婚姻，我们新加坡公民只能从人民行动党领导的政府为我们入围的候选人中挑选一位吗？
对于一个本应成为第一世界国家的国家来说，这是否民主或合乎逻辑？
如果人民没有赋予PEC“自由裁量权”，那么他们的自由裁量权从何而来？
凭借赋予 PEC 的这一自由裁量权，它难道不是为任命他们的人服务的吗？
团结人民的力量——作为一个国家的民主前进之路：
如果我们想结束困扰我们民主制度和选举机制的所有这些荒谬和愚蠢行为，那么新加坡人就应该作为“一个团结的人民”挺身而出，通过拥有我们中间最优秀的人才，确保精英政治始终战胜平庸。 不仅代表我们的议会，还代表国家最高公职，即总统办公室。
人民行动党领导的政府试图进行自己的调查，涉及自己的部长和议员，这确实是业力造成的，这只会助长更多的政治笑话，这些笑话在新加坡各地的咖啡店里低声议论，并在这个过程中，让这些人感到愤怒。 这些天穿白色衣服看起来非常脏。
但是，为什么人民行动党领导的政府尽管已经完全控制了新加坡的所有权力阶层，但仍然坚持将总统府留给自己呢？
是否事实证明，PE2023对于人民行动党来说太重要了，以至于无法让其一些部长放心，里杜特丑闻将永远关闭？
或者，当选总统的办公室永远不会被允许指导CPIB或对人民行动党领导的政府或其部长的任何不当行为进行任何公开调查？
是否有什么事情可能对新加坡产生严重的物质影响，而人民行动党领导的政府不想让我们知道，而这就是为什么他们也必须赢得并控制总统府？
面对如此多可能在政治和经济上困扰我们国家的“令人不安的”未知因素和不确定因素，我发现新加坡的反对党在我们所有的选举中基本上仍然乖乖地遵循人民行动党的剧本，这既令人沮丧又令人困惑。 大选到总统选举。
如果当选总统的角色应该是非政治性的，那么为什么人民行动党要如此投入地确保只有他们入围的人才能参加我们的总统选举？
反对党是否知道至少有一位在上届大选中参赛的候选人实际上有资格参加 PE2023？
是的，反对党中有一些优秀的候选人，如果少数主要反对党不再屈从于人民行动党的剧本，并开始在最重要的问题上挑战他们，更多的候选人就会跟进。
如果新加坡的反对党真正想成为或组建人民行动党的替代政府，那么他们必须开始更具战略性地思考、更果断地行动，并表明自己能够在最重要的时候团结起来，与人民站在一起 作为“一个团结的人民”，超越他们的政治分歧和分歧。
要做到这一点，他们必须停止试图按照人民行动党规定的指导方针来证明自己的资格，而必须开始以民主和创造性的方式挑战他们。
人民的选择——民主的前进之路：
在这方面，陈博士参选PE2023请愿书的发起者米歇尔正确地指出，陈博士确实是PE2023的人民选择。
因此，我们必须扪心自问，为什么人民行动党领导的政府如此害怕这位曾经是他们的前干部的83岁老人。
除非他们在柜子里藏了一些他们不想让任何人看到的可怕骷髅，否则人民行动党真的没有理由害怕他，对吗？
在距离赢得 2011 年 PE 比赛如此之近，然后又被剥夺了参加 2017 年 PE 比赛的机会（因为人民行动党领导的政府将其保留给马来社区），为什么人民不通过民主方式告诉人民行动党领导的政府和他们的人民来阻止所有这些“包办婚姻”？ 任命 PEC 后我们希望能够投票给我们选择的候选人？
看看迄今为止由人民行动党领导的政府安排的候选人，如果陈博士的 PE2011 资格证书被承认并被接受为 PE2023，如果 PE2023 结果是潜在第一夫人之间的斗争，请不要感到惊讶。
不可否认的是，如果这一切成真，那么陈太肯定会轻而易举地获胜，不是吗？
无论人民行动党领导的政府及其人民选举委员会想要接受还是拒绝人民对 PE2023 的选择，这是他们的决定。
但人民行动党最担心的是，如果另一位有资格并能够领导人民的泰坦决定返回参加PE2023，他深知这位泰坦可以在塑造我们国家的未来方面发挥更重要的作用 在此过程中，将以更果断的方式战略性地削弱他们的权力和道德地位。
这就是为什么新加坡人必须发挥我们的作用，积极鼓励和支持那些能够在塑造我们国家未来方面发挥决定性作用的人，超越政党政治或政治分歧。
是的，我们需要最优秀的男女挺身而出，帮助带领新加坡摆脱由人民行动党领导的 4G 政府造成的可怕混乱。
但如果所有实现人民变革的民主途径都被人民行动党领导的政府系统性地封锁，那么下届大选肯定会成为人民行动党领导的政府的终结。
如果这一切成真，我们不禁要问，4G行动党中谁会如此愚蠢，被骗在下届大选中领导人民行动党，并被载入史册，成为表现最差的新加坡总理，拯救李总理 免遭这一国际耻辱。
还认为即将到来的PE2023不涉及政治游戏吗？
这样一来，新加坡的政治将会变得更加肮脏和混乱，因为当人民行动党最弱的时候，它也是最危险的，这一点从工人党的整个婚姻丑闻是多么容易就可以看出。 定时让 PAP 看起来比白人更白，不是吗？
这就是为什么对于那些仍然愚蠢地谈论让陈医生继续参加下届大选的人来说，不要惊讶他们最终可能会将陈医生和他的遗产拉入人民行动党设置的陷阱，不是吗？
新加坡确实正处于一代人的危机中，如果我们都真诚地想要拯救我们的国家免遭进一步的尴尬和丑闻，我们就需要超越自私的努力和政党政治。
如果我们仍然相信新加坡人值得更好的话，我希望更多的新加坡人能够站出来，果断拒绝这些“包办婚姻”，发挥自己的作用......

Singaporeans Presidential Election
WHY IS THE PAP TRYING TO SHORTLIST CANDIDATES FOR PE2023 AS IF IT IS AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE
Isn’t it weird that while many Singaporeans take pride in believing that we have arrived as citizens of an advanced economy, the irony is why are there still so many among us who could not think critically?
Take the upcoming PE2023 as an example, isn’t it like an arranged marriage when all the candidates must be screened and approved by the PAP-led government before the people can get to decide?
Does the PAP really think that it still has the moral authority to play the paternal role in the lives of Singaporeans?
Like the elites of old who strive to arrange marriage among its own circle, the PAP is still trapped in this perverse thinking that only they can attract the best candidates and all their ministers are “whiter than white”.
Truth is, the use of money politics to attract and retain its politicians and activists has started to backfire on the them as we can see from the endless scandals and extra-marital affairs that have been plaguing the PAP all these past years.
Systemic Flaws In Qualifying Mechanism Used In PE2023:
Like a bad karma, the endless scandals, and the erosion of trust and morality of the PAP has also magnified the systemic flaws in the qualifying mechanism used in our elections, especially in the upcoming PE2023.
While Tharman Shanmugaratnam may be self-qualified by his ministerial appointments to contest in PE2023, he can also be technically disqualified by the Presidential Election Committee “PEC”, who is vested with tremendous amount of “Discretionary Power” despite it not being mandated by the people, for the massive S$30.8 billion loss suffered by MAS when he was their chairman.
This was rightly pointed out by Michelle Lee, who has put up a petition for Dr Tan Cheng Bock to stand in PE2023.
The same is true for many of those PAP-elites who can simply just walk into any Presidential Election just because they were all given some kind of imperial seals.
Do you know that Tan Chuan Jin, the disgraced Speaker of Parliament can still qualify for PE2023 if he decided to enter because he was not sacked by PM Lee Hsien Loong but was allowed to resign from his post, and as such, get to keep all his retirement perks and benefits, including his right to contest in PE2023 or beyond?
If he does, will the PEC dare to disqualify him based on the strong “circumstantial evidence” that his extra-marital affair proves that he is not a person of good character, and ended up also proving that the current qualifying criteria that favour politicians is flawed and should be scrapped?
What if Chan Chun Sing, the Education Minister decides to stand in a Presidential Election and ended up unable to recite the National Pledge while hosting foreign dignitaries?
The same is also true if Vivian Balakrishnan or S. Shanmugam, who despite the scandalous Ridout’s fiasco, decides to run in any of our Presidential Election.
Of all the four Tans candidates who contested in PE2011, how many is aware that Tan Kin Lian is “technically” still qualified to contest in PE2023 despite being the only candidate to lose his election deposit?
By now, can you see just how stupid and defective the current qualifying mechanism used in PE2023 really is?
In a sick way, isn’t PE2023, in its current form, an arranged marriage where we, the citizens of Singapore, can only pick from one of the candidates that the PAP-led government has shortlisted for us?
Is this even democratic or logical for a nation that is supposed to be a First World Country?
If the people did not give the PEC its “Discretionary Power”, then where did they get their discretionary power from?
By virtue of this discretionary power vested in the PEC, isn’t it at the service of the one who appoints them?
The Power of One United People - The Democratic Way Forward As A Nation:
It is time for Singaporeans to stand up as “One United People” if we want to end all these absurdities and stupidities that are plaguing our democratic system and election mechanisms to ensure that meritocracy will consistently triumph over mediocre, by having the best people among us to represent not just our parliament but also the highest public office in the country, which is the Presidential office.
It is indeed karmic that the ways the PAP-led government tried to conduct its own investigations involving its own ministers and parliamentarians are only fuelling more political jokes that are being whispered at coffee-shops all around Singapore, and in the process, make the men in white look horribly dirty these days.
But why is the PAP-led government, despite already having full control over all the estates of powers in Singapore still so adamant about keeping the Presidential Office to itself?
Could it be that PE2023 is proving to be too important for the PAP to win so that some of its ministers can be assured that the Ridout’s Scandal will remain closed and shut for all eternity?
Or that the office of the Elected President will never be allowed to direct the CPIB or convene any public inquiry against the PAP-led government or their ministers for any wrongdoing?
Is there something that may have serious material impact to Singapore that the PAP-led government does not want us to know, and that is why they must win and control the Istana too?
Against so many “troubling” unknowns and uncertainties that could be plaguing our country, both politically and economically, I find it both depressing and puzzling that the opposition parties in Singapore are still largely obediently following the playbook of the PAP in all our elections, from the general election to the presidential election.
If the role of the Elected President should be non-political, then why is the PAP so massively vested in ensuring that only those that they have shortlisted get to stand in our Presidential Election?
Are the opposition parties even aware that there is at least one candidate who contested in the last General Election who actually qualifies for PE2023?
Yes, there are quality candidates among the opposition parties and more will follow if the few key opposition parties stop acting subserviently to the PAP’s playbook and start challenging them where it matters most.
And if the opposition parties in Singapore truly want to be or form the Alternative Government to the PAP, then they must start thinking more strategically and acting more decisively, and show themselves to be able to come together when it matters most by standing with the people as “One United People”, beyond their political divides and differences .
To do that, they must stop trying to qualify themselves along the PAP-dictated guideline but must start challenging them democratically and creatively.
People’s Choice - The Democratic Way Forward:
In this aspect, Michelle, the creator of the petition for Dr Tan to stand in PE2023 is right in pointing out the fact that Dr Tan is indeed the People’s Choice for PE2023.
That is why we must ask ourselves why the PAP-led government is so afraid of this 83-year old man who was once their former cadre.
Unless they got some horrible skeletons in the closet that they do not want anyone to see, then there is really no reason for the PAP to fear him right?
After being so close to winning PE2011 and then deprived from contesting in PE2017 when the PAP-led government reserved it for the Malay community, why don’t the people stop all these “arranged marriages” by democratically telling the PAP-led government and their appointed PEC that we want to be able to vote for the candidate of our choice?
Looking at the candidates arranged by the PAP-led government thus far, and if Dr Tan’s Certificate of Eligibility for PE2011 is acknowledged and accepted for PE2023, do not be surprised if PE2023 turns out to be a fight among the potential First Ladies.
There is no denying that if this come to pass, then Mrs Tan will surely win hand down, no?
Whether the PAP-led government and their PEC want to accept or reject the people’s choice for PE2023, it is their call to make.
But the biggest fear of the PAP will be if another titan, who is qualified and can lead the people if he decides to return to take part in PE2023, knowing well that this titan can play a more major role in shaping the future of our country in a more decisive manner, and in the process, will strategically curtail their power and moral standing.
That is why the Singaporeans must play our part by being active in encouraging and supporting those who can play a decisive role in shaping our future as a nation, beyond party politics or political divides.
Yes, we need the best men and women to step forward and help lead Singapore out of the terrible mess caused by the 4G PAP-led government.
But if all democratic avenues to effect the change by the people are to be systematically blocked by the PAP-led government, then the next General Election is definitely going to be the end of the PAP-led government.
If that comes to pass, we just have to wonder who among the 4G PAP will be so stupid to be deceived into leading the PAP in the next general election and get recorded in history as the worse performing Prime Minister of Singapore, and save PM Lee from this international disgrace.
Still think that there is no political play involved in the upcoming PE2023?
As such, politics in Singapore will get more dirty and messy because when the PAP is at its weakest, it is also at its most dangerous, and this is most evident as we can see from how conveniently the whole marital scandal at Workers’ Party is timed to make the PAP look whiter than white, no?
That is why for those who are still stupidly talking about keeping Dr Tan for the next general election, do not be surprised that they may end up drawing Dr Tan and his legacy into the booby-trap set up by the PAP, no?
Singapore is indeed in a crisis of a generation and we all need to go beyond selfish endeavours and party politics if we are all sincere about saving our country from further embarrassments and scandals.
I hope more Singaporeans will step up and play their part by decisively rejecting these “arranged marriage” if we still believe that Singaporeans deserve better…
