Listening to the Ministers is so frightening

Minister Chan Chun Sing


With GE fever on, I watched both sessions of the live debates on Ch 5 and 8
on the GE. I heard Chan Chun Sing and Lawrence Wong and their strong beliefs on
the right things that the PAP has done in the past. I have no doubt about the
strength of their faith. They truly and sincerely believe in what they were
doing with all honesty and conviction. And it is so scary.

Chan Chun Sing spent a big deal of time stressing on the importance of trust
and claiming that the PAP had the full trust of the people and that it was this
trust by the people that had brought us here today. Lawrence was saying that he
was so proud of what the PAP had done to prove how good the PAP was.

I wish I was present to ask them a few questions but since that was not
possible maybe I shall pose the questions here and hopefully they could read it
and give me an answer.

• 1. 1. The PAP had legislated away the people’s life savings, including mine,
     without the people’s consent or my consent. Does Chan Chun Sing think the people
     still trust the PAP? I for one would not trust the PAP with my life savings. I
     want my money back, every cent of it. Is there a breach of trust? And to
     Lawrence, is he proud of what the PAP has done about the people’s CPF savings?
     The PAP brought in 2m foreigners and turned many of them into citizens without
     seeking the consent of the people. Many people, including me, would not consent
     to it. Does Chan Chun Sing think the people still trust the PAP? And to
     Lawrence, is this something he is proud of?

• 1. 2. The PAP is forcing the people to pay for the MediShield Life Insurance,
     compulsory, without asking the people for their permission. And the people would
     have to pay for this for the rest of their life, emptying every single cent they
     have in their Medisave Minimum Sum accounts in a matter of time. The Medisave
     grants and the premiums in the future are not fixed. I can imagine that after
     all my Medisave Minimum Sum has been ‘gasak’, and if I live long enough, I would
     risk to go behind bars for not able to pay the premiums. Is this about trust or
     is this daylight robbery? Is Lawrence also proud of this?

• 1. 3. The govt signed the CECA with India allowing unrestrained entry of
     millions of Indians to work here and causing many Singaporeans to lose their
     jobs. Is this an issue of trust? Does Chan Chun Sing think the people still
     trust the PAP to sign more of such agreements? Is Lawrence proud of the PAP
     signing such agreements?

Has the PAP breached the trust of the people and losing the trust of the
people? If yes, is Lawrence still proud of the PAP?

If no, I think both would answer no and are still very proud of what the PAP
had done, in particular to the above policies, and this is the frightening part.
They cannot see anything wrong in what the PAP had done and going to do if re
elected for another term. They are such staunch and unquestioning believers.

The only glitch in the debate was when Lawrence tried to dig out Chee Soon
Juan’s past for an airing. This is what he is capable of doing. And while on
Chee Soon Juan, it reminds me of another unflattering record of the PAP in its
treatment of political rivals like Chee Soon Juan, JBJ and Tang Liang Hong. All
were bankrupted. Tang fled for his life and Chee was thrown into jail. What
about the sagas involving Roy Ngerng and Amos Yee? Is Lawrence, and for that
matter all the ministers, proud of these records?
