Do us Singaporeans have no Civil and Political rights???
-
I saw this article on Wikipedia that Singapore has not signed the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights. While we are among the 22 countries who did not sign it, including Brunei and Malaysia. I feel in order to be a first class nation, like nations from Europe and Japan, our government needs to sign this Covenant.
Only a nation, where it's citizens are treated well and have their rights protected is the mark of a fantastic leadership.

What for they sign if it does not benefit them?
Always remember we have a ruling party pay and pay who places self serving as their top priority over the interest of the nation.

How to sign when it does not benefit them? After signing, they cannot do it freely to attack the oppositions, they cannot anyhow deduct money from us for the trash they implement. -

if we didn't those two fellas won't be there...
btw.. what good is signing a piece of paper if the country violates the hell out of whatever is written on it anyway?
to the people who have nothing better to do, and are pathetic enough to allow politicians to determine their own happiness or lack of it, you need to figure out that politicians are basically leeches and parasites... they need you more than you need them...
and that is for BOTH sides of the political divide..

So if the government or politicians decides to tax 90% on you, are you gonna be happy? Are you gonna blame them for your would be unhappiness or your boss for not paying you $100,000?

You have a point. Unfortunately, in "unique" Singapore the politicians make it such that without them the people will suffer. Sad to say the people are too kiasi kiasu to vote them out.As it is with them, our life is not getting better. Time to change the ruling party. i hope i will be given a chance to vote.

why pathetic?
PAP regime forces us to serve NS, many are unhappy, so the blame is on who?
How can you solve the problem when you ignore the root cause?
-
and that is for BOTH sides of the political divide..
That's why we should build up an equal power for both sides.
That's why I support all opposition.
Now PAP 82 seats, opposition 2 seats, that's why must build up to 42 seats vs 42 seats.
understand or don't understand?
I know you don't understand one lah.

Urg..
? Where to find 42 goondos fill the other 42? -
