Chris K, a blogger said this in TRE. Though his reasoning was different, I think it is a damn good idea. This is really a win win development. From the point of PAP and Hsien Loong, if his son or sons joined the opposition, either side win will still be PAP and Hsien Loong winning, just like placing bets on a roulette table, placing bets on both sides.
The betterer thing is that if his son or sons join the opposition, the opposition will become more acceptable, become ‘ka ki lang’. When that happens, life for the opposition will be so much more comfortable and easier. They need not fear being fixed. They can be a real alternative to PAP and if they win PAP will say it’s ok, nevermind. It will be a pao ka liao kind of arrangement. No need to call out the army.
And Hsien Loong’s hair would turn black again. No need to keep thinking how to deal with the opposition and fearing what might happen if the opposition wins. Politics will take on a new rhythm, a friendly tune and everyone can pat each other on the back and party everyday. From confrontational politics it will be love making politics.
Of course the people will also benefit. There will be upgrading of estates everywhere, no matter opposition or PAP wards. No need to get approval or support from the Chairman of CCC. Ministers especially the Environment Minister’s life will be more pleasant. Only problem is that the judges will have less cases to deal with. Hong Lim Park can be the same Speakers’ Corner again but nobody will be there like in the past. NParks officers and men in blue will breathe a sigh of relief.
This is the most brilliant suggestion from the social media netizen.
Good or not? WP, SDP and all the Ps, please invite the sons for tea party, quick.
