A government that has been in power for the last 5 decades has to take
FULL responsibility for the social construct of this nation.
The
flood-gates of immigration were open 2 decades ago to enable the PAP to
remain in power through a stock-pile of new citizens as their
traditional support base started to dwindle through age and natural
attrition.
And, now the flood-gates remain wide open with the White
Paper hurriedly ushered into effect without proper grassroots
consultation. PAP MPs who swore an oath to protect their constituents
had ALL failed their respective constituents by failing to consult the
ground before they each voted. This is a blatant dereliction of DUTY.
Renown economists and sociologists have argued against the White Paper
but even such esteemed opinion had been dismissed without discussion of
any kind. In so doing, the PAP leadership has revealed its own Achilles
heel - the PAP is DESPERATE to hang on to power. They have forgotten the
basic truth about power, however, and it is this : Power is given to
leaders by the PEOPLE in exchange for social benefits and the promise of
a better life. That is the universal social compact that exists even in
so-called communist regimes. When that contract is breached by the
leadership, the PEOPLE can and will exercise its right to terminate the
arrangement.
