One thing I realize about all govenments is that when someone of group that holds power too long wants to hold it forever. For our case its the BN and for Singapore its the PAP. PAP stands for Peoples action party.
Looking at the PAP logo you can see that it resembles the DAP Logo. Similar isnt it?
Well, heres the killer point, Actually they were the same party.
The DAP was originally the Malaysian branch of the Singapore People's Action Party (PAP). However, Singapore seceded from the federation in 1965, just two years after the territories merged. Most of the Malaysian PAP members decided to remain with the original party, but those that decided to continue the party, including future President of Singapore Devan Nair, stayed in Malaysia to form the DAP in October 1965.[2] The party formally registered itself as a democratic socialist party on March 18, 1966.[3] In the August of that year, the official party organ, The Rocket, was first published. At the first DAP National Congress held in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur on July 29, 1967, the DAP declared itself to be "irrevocably committed to the ideal of a free, democratic and socialist Malaysia, based on the principles of racial and religious equality, social and economic justice, and founded on the institution of parliamentary democracy"We are luckier than Singaporeans, we got more land, more voice, we have a strong opposition. Singapore's opposition is very weak because the PAP makes sure it does not have any voice at all. DAP, PKR, PAS may be our heroes now, but when they get greedy we need to kick them out. Too much power destroys any good government; remember the Singapore PAP party was the same as our DAP.

Of course, DAP was the Singapore's PAP Branch. That's the very reason why LKY's Malaysian Malaysia has become LKS's banner!! You know what this mean?? The history of the country begins ONLY with the coming of the British,...with Raffles in Singapore, soon to be declared by Guan Eng,..with Francis Light as the beginning of Penang's ( Pulau Pinang will be droped!!)history.The history books in Singapore schools have deleted the Malay Sultanate which their professors declared as being Malay legends!!
Beware Penang...no more Pulau Pinang,..your root from the Sultanate of Kedah will be accounted as "dongeng",... your Malay axis-roots in bahasa, culture and adat will be delienated by DAP!! Terimaksih Melayu kerana marahkan BN mengundi DAP!! Kita sudah hilang Singapura,...kini anda telah serahkan pula Pulau Pinang!!
Hey perkinsonline,
I got to say this... I love you so much...
You are one of the few people that actually think beyond partisan politics...
If I may say - your post is actually saying that Malaysia must strengthen it's institutions of democracy...
Lest we be like Singapore.
any party that does not have any opposition will get too power crazy n destroy others.
DAP can be PAP someone when there is no opposition
