Is PAP the only choice?
I came across this article the other day, and it gave me the chills...Extract:
"Without the elected president and if there is a freak result, within two or three years, the army would have to come in and stop it," Lee said.
Just a couple of question.
Is the elected president an independent individual or a 'puppet' or failsafe device for the ruling party? Does this mean that the president basically has no will of his own and does whatever PAP tells him? Is his job to serve the people, the ruling party (govt) be it PAP or otherwise, or is he simply a PAP man?
What about the army? Is the army there to serve and protect the nation of singapore, or the PAP party? Can the party, if it is not the ruling party anymore, activate the army at will? Does this also imply that if one day, the PAP is no longer the ruling party, we can expect a civil war? Can our conscripted army choose not to fight if they don't believe in what they are fighting for? Can our sons of singapore not choose another party to rule us through a fair and democratic process(not exactly what I would consider a "freak result") without being threaten with war?
I really fear for our future.
