"Dr Balakrishnan said the election has been a good learning journey and at the strategic level, many PAP policies are right but their implementation and communication can be improved "- Vivian Balakrishnan, 9 May 2011.
We have to thank the Aljunied people for doing the right thing. However, it seems that losing Aljunied is not strong enough a signal to wake the PAP up. As soon I heard Vivian Balakrishnan say that PAP's problem is not its policies but communication of its "right" policies, I realised that the PAP has gone into relapse and denial just 2 days after polling. I suspect after its soul searching, the PAP leadership will come back to say that everything less the few clear-cut mistakes like Mas Selamat + crowded trains, everything it has done is right and the only problem is with their style and communication. We should have voted in the WP East Coast GRC team, we should have listened to Goh Meng Seng and voted Ncole Seah's team in Marine Parade into parliament to tell the PAP and SM Goh that he is accountable for policies such as asset enhancement, GRCs and broken its promise of a Swiss standard of living. We should have sent a stronger signal. Full story
