No more election in Singapore!

I think if they could they would.

With their almighty power in parliament, they can change the law as and when they like. They can do anything they fancy. Examples:

CPF:
Our money (in lump sum cash) which was due to us when we reached 55 has gone to the dogs. Through the years, they have tweaked it so that we end up with Medisave, Special Accounts, Retirement Account and now the Annuity Account. Get yours at 55! Get yours at 62! Get yours at 70! Get yours at 83! No, not in one lump sum but in monthly installments! Get yours when you die! All of which serve only one purpose - for them to hold on to your money for as long as they like! While they are at it, they up yours by telling you that you are too daft to manage your money!

HDB:
It was supposed to be affordable housing, especially for the poor. Now it is an investment! They scheme, they tweak, they change the rules according to their whims and fancies without any concern for the welfare of the home buyers (99-year tenants). With all their so-called care and concern for Singaporeans' housing needs, why are we still so unhappy and disappointed with their performance (including the latest wayang)?

Security of PAP:
A gathering of more than 4 persons was considered an illeegal assembly. Now they have the "Move On" law where anyone, just one person, is considered illegal assembly if they don't like what you do, what you show and what you say. Cycling in group organised by WP is dangerous but cycling organised by PAP (through kindergartens) with PM as VVIP is safe as hell!

The above are some of the 'suka suka' can change laws and policies implemented for the better of Singapore and Singaporeans.

Will it surprise anyone if law is changed so that there is no longer a requirement for election (within 5 years) if the ground ain't sweet enough for the ruling party? With their audacity, their desperation to stay in power at all cost (eg. Election Dept under PM's Office, gerrymandeering, no upgrading for opposition wards) and disrespect for the men in the street (daft, lesser mortals like dogs urinating in lifts), it may just happen.

Maybe not. Maybe they are confident that pro-PAP votes from new citizens (Heaven knows how many Chinese and Indians were granted citizenship during the last 5 years) are more than enough to replace the votes of disgruntled Singaporeans who have enough of the crap from the despots whose greed for money and power knows no end.

Their million dollar solution to flood and Mas Selamat jalan leaves much to be desired. However, "PAP-eye-refuse-to-see" OVERCROWDING PROBLEM (getting on the nerves of everyone) is something they had better work on before frustrations lead to mayhem and disaster!

It's a crazy thought but

• if Mr Chia Thye Poh could be locked up for 32 years without trial
  
• if Dr Lim Hock Siew was denied freedom because he refused to save the face of the then Prime Minister,
  
• if Operation Cold Store and
  
• Marxist's Conspiracy could happen in Singapore

then I think changing the law on election to ensure ruling party rules forever is sub-sub-sway (no big deal) !

Of course, internationally, it'll be another chewing gum joke!
