NSP? It stands for No Substance Party: SM Goh

Uncle Goh,

I have respect for you. But pls stick to the policies and what your government can do for fellow singaporean. Your PM Lee have apologised but the apolo---- came too late. Came late after 5 years?

If PAP MPs make a mistake, be brave to apologise on the spot and not wait for months and years. That is not very responsible.

Now, will you hear a fellow singaporean' basic "bible"?

What I want to see in a Government?

1. I want a government that knows how to man up and say “I’m sorry” when they’ve made a mistake. For example, a mistake on the scale of busting the YOG budget by 3 times needs to be addressed with a decent amount of compunction rather than dismissiveness. With this current crop of PAP leaders, sorry really does seem to be the hardest word. Hey here’s a thought, people are more forgiving when you take responsibility and say “I’m sorry, I messed up big time.” You see, only after I hear the apolo----, I’ll be ready to hear about all the wonderful things you’ve done in your 5 years in office, not the other way around.

2. I want a government that really listens. The only defense that the PAP constantly falls back on these days is “I know better so just sit down and shut up.” Even if you genuinely believe that your Cambridge degrees and life of entitlement makes you better and smarter than everyone else, it would still do you a lot of good to listen to the struggles of your people. And by listening, I don’t mean walking around a week before election wearing flowers and doing your presidential wave.

3. I want a government that’s accountable. Ok, that’s my beef with a one-party system right there, a complete lack of checks and balances. It may have worked 57 years ago when you were ruling a country who didn’t know any better but we do know better now and one of the pitfalls of such a system is beginning to manifest itself in the form of disconnected, arrogant leaders who assume they have a right to lead just because they have kissed enough bottoms and made the right political connections. Connections like um say, marrying the private secretary of the Prime Minister.

4. I want a government that rises above the need to resort to threats in order to get votes. It’s insulting that you think our votes can be bought by shiny new lifts and a fresh coat of paint. If the price to pay for upgrading is my integrity and sense of justice, I’d much rather walk up that extra flight of steps and carry both my kids to run in the rain, thankyouverymuch. Also, what about your supporters living in these opposition constituencies? It’s a tad mercenary that you would sacrifice them as collateral damage just to prove a point, isn’t it?

5. I want a government that understands the value of humility and servitude. Often, it’s not just what you do but the manner in which you do it that counts. It bugs me that our Ministers talk down to the very people they are supposed to serve just because they don’t share the same opinions. You don’t get to be all high and mighty and demand that Singaporeans kiss the very ground you tread on. After all, we were the ones who put you in office and we will take you out if you alienate enough voters.

To all the people who think that voting the PAP means voting for stability, my only question is this, stability for who? If I were an incompetent Minster drawing $1.4 million of taxpayer’s money annually, I’d be yelling about stability too. I mean, it’d be mighty unstable for me if I had to one day *gasp*, take a ride on a crowded train like all my minions.

"If the people in Marine Parade GRC vote for that team and I am out, I think Singapore will be in deep trouble, as simple as that," added the former PM of Singapore.

--- The threat again. I am sick of being threatened on a daily basis by people who are supposed to protect the citizens, not to coerce them.

SM Goh said Foreign Minister George Yeo was too important to the government to lose...

--- The country is more important than one minister. By the way, he is not a Foreign Minister right now because the Parliament has already dissolved.

You vote him out -- what mistake has he made?

--- George Yeo has done no mistake but it's the GRC system that trapped him in such a position and plight. Whose mistake then? The very GRC system PAP invented has now stripped capable people out of an election.

1. SM Goh, Sir:

If NSP = No Substance Party
Then PAP = Poppycock All Party

"Poppycock" means "Nonsense".

2. Population growth: To date, 1mn increase every decade.
1990: 3mn
2000: 4mn
2010: 5mn

3. "Silver tsunami": As per Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan in 2006:

2005: 8.4% (about 300,000 senior citizens > age 65)
2030: 18.7% (nearly 900,000 seniors - 3 times higher)

4. 2011 MOH Budget: In Mar 2011 debate, Health Minister said new public hospital to be built in Sengkang will be "completed in 2020".

It takes a developer 3 years to complete a multi-tower condo but it takes MOH nearly a decade to complete a new hospital DESPITE (A) population explosion over the LAST TWO DECADES and (B) "silver tsunami" to be trebled over COMING TWO DECADES.

PAP "Rule Singapore" or "Fool Singapore"?

ha ha ha Wong kan seng mah bow tan ! goh chok tong stab you from behind.

goh chok tong laugh at NSP and say: it stand for No Substance Party, do u know my one?
mine is pay and pay ok? dont play play ar

Now he calls NSP - No Substance Party .
Previous Elections i remembered he called WP - Wayang Party.

I tink he is slapping himself in his face. He should look at his own Marine Parade GRC team member - Tin PL. This one then really got no substance. Disgraceful Remarks to make coming from such a Old Bird Minister....now SM.

Sorry but I do not think TPL has the substance of an MP either, why support her instead?

Goh Chok Tong, you are becoming more pathetic by the day. For once in your non-charismatic life, say something sensible. Something that commands some sliver of respect. Something that at least resembles wisdom.

For a person of your age, I would have thought that experience would have taught you a thing or two about fighting election battles with some measure of dignity and class. Unfortunately, all these years of walkovers have made you into a grossly overpaid arrogant old fool. Shame on you!

So far, all I hear from you are just the same old threats, perverse logic, hollow boasts and pure excrement. Sigh.

I hope the NSP puts you out of your political misery once and for all.

Singaporean do you want to be a foreigner in your own country?
Do you want you old aged parent to go JB to retired and die there?
Do you want your child seats in school , jobs to be taken by foreign talent?
Do you want the world highest paid minister?
Do you want your children to afford HDB?
Do you want answer, why themask , GIC, YOG lose so much of our money?
Do you want parliament to passed bills without You knowing?
Do you think education and medical is affordable in sg?
NO! enough is enough,
PAP want 6.5million people, gates will open for another 1.5millions FT!
Is that what you want?

Pretty obvious how most of these questions will be answered. So, what is the purpose of asking these questions? = People VOTE with your HEART.

SM Goh, you can insult NSP, let's see on the day of reckoning. Who gets insulted?
Please pick on a guy your own size and age, be a gentleman and do not threatened. We are very scared, yes, extremely scared, especially, what happens if NSP wins?

But we would still vote NSP. For every reasons you know deep in your heart.

Is it true that TPL is put there by LHL to "observe" you?

Without prejudice

Haha, is he trying to sabo his own team? A lot of @#$% from him recently. Maybe he wants to be President Goh.

Like what we have said time again there must be Accountability, Fair Play, Open the Cards on the Table, show us what happened and where it went wrong in the government's investments etc. What we Singaporeans wants are facts and figures. Those Ministers who made mistakes and are not compatable and inefficient must be told to go. No such thing as just saying sorry and its all forgotten. Look at the disasters created by the Housing Minister, The Security lapse, the great leap of living costs in almost everything and Singaporeans are virtually suffocated in their daily lives by being squeezed. You are supposed to be as classified in your own context: "A" Team and as such there is no room for mistakes and apologies. How could it be? Its pure simple there was no check and balances. Therefore you cannot deny the fact that this time around the Oppositions have come up with "A" Team candidates, if not better ones too. Opposition members who were once your fellowmen in the statutory boards. Surely, you guys couldn't have been wrong those times in having them and now they are out to help Singaporeans and do their part. Just accept it with grace and im sure Singaporeans will be more then happy this time around. Oh ! No ! we cannot wait for another 5 years to TRY & TRY !!!

To: Mr. Goh Chok Tong, Can you please summarize all the problem and thing that went wrong in the PAP Government that is what we want to know and why are we suffering so much, we dun want to hear you mention about the opposition as non substance , this is in fact the PAP has no substance not even taking care of all Singaporean daily need but just to hear you say the other party are non substance, One minister is you commenting opposition party and the other is LHL commenting that he want to take all his time to fix the opposition , my true word from my mouth FARK YOU , when you fix the opposition you are fixing we singaporean from voicing our right, UNDERSTAND NOW, "" FARK YOU""

Three more day to disappoint Pay And Pay, please don't be fear to stand out to vote for WP.

Three more day to be a hero, but don't be a "NATO"(No Action Talk Only) person.

Three more day to vote on WP for them to talk on behalf of your Old Grandparents, Old Parents & Childrens future on the subject of HDB/Health & Medical Bill/Education Bill etc.

If you miss the vote, you may see your old folk staying in JB old Folk Home, sick & die at home not in hospital, euducation fail on your childrens etc.

"My sense is that it is a 'No Substance Party'... they have just one attraction, the rest are just being carried along, so am I worried?"

"If the people in Marine Parade GRC vote for that team and I am out, I think Singapore will be in deep trouble, as simple as that," added the former PM of Singapore.

Dear Mr Goh,

If NSP were to capture MP GRC,rest assured that it won't be the end of the world for the resident there.All my respect for you have diminish as I can see the real you behind the man.Nobody is indispensable in this world.I really hope that the people of Marine Parade GRC will let Mr Goh eat his words by voting for NSP !!!!!

I was at the NSP rally at CCK today. Nicole said something which made alot of sense...

"Singaporeans have toiled hard to help this country grow over the past years. The government should not leave them behind and prioritize foreigners now that Singapore has prospered."

Young, but insightful.

No substance party? well, at least she has the guts to come forth and voice her thoughts instead of *coughcough...* who has to hide behind a big shot to get a free pass into parliament. SHAMEFUL.

Yak yak yak yak yak ........Goh !!, stop talking rubbish keep to the urgent issue affecting the people of this country.

"If the people in Marine Parade GRC vote for that team and I am out, I think Singapore will be in deep trouble, as simple as that," Dear SM (does it stands for Senior Minister, or Senile Minister?). The "No Substance Party" you mention is proposing good things for the TRUE PEOPLE OF SINGAPORE.
If you disagree with their proposals, then what are you telling us? No need all these? We are fine without these proposals? OR, IS IT YOU PAPAYAS ARE FINE WITHOUT THESE PROPOSALS?!!! AND WE THE TRUE SINGAPOREANS CONTINUE TO SUFFER?!!!
I am not in MPGRC but I will vote for the opposition NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THEM, coz THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO REALLY UNDERSTAND, EMPHATISE, AND WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE IN THE LIVES OF TRUE SINGAPOREANS LIKE ME!!!.
We had SUFFERED, PUSHED ASIDE, AND IGNORED. Enough is enough, and its time for a CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP STYLE. We want TRANSFORMATIONAL LEARDERSHIP, NOT AUTHOCRATIC!!!.

Debate on policies that affect S'poreans not smearing at opposition parties or candidates. Elections are meant for Singaporean to vote for someone that can represents them in parliament. The more you do that, the lesser your votes for MPGRC, we already have enough of TPL in your GRC. Go to any of the opposition rallies & that's where we can cheer & clapped like fellow Singaporeans. The atmosphere is real & better than any NDP parade. You take MRT, bus, shopping or anyhwere else in S'pore, sure to find FT around everywhere.

One thing for sure, with GCT in we are already in trouble for the last 5 years. How bad the other team may be, I know that with him in, I will have more trouble for the next 5 years.
One thing for sure, with him out, our reserve is more by about $20million. So Singaporeans, you choose. We don't need him!

When great people die in their prime, they become immortalised because they are remembered at their best. However, when great people become senile or lost touch with realilty due to age, and they refuse to let go of their position and cling on to old glory, it is very sad to watch. Because after a while, people around them will forget how great that person was and remember him only as the senile screw loose one. Our MM and SM seems headed in that direction. Sigh....

They should take lessons from the China retired leaders, or the ex-US presidents. They all retire gracefully and get written into history. Even George W. Bush (who is deemed by many a big nitwit) does not come out and make all sorts bad comments about his opponent Obama. Our leaders should really learn better manners.

Remember the old days we had the courtesy campaign launched by Govt? Our govt is very good at teaching the people all sorts of lessons they never practiced themselves...
