Freelance writer Ms Elaine Ee reported yesterday on The Online Citizen about a PAP MP, whom she declined to identify, having difficulty defending the policies of his own party. This is the problem with Singapore today. Groupthink within the party is so strong that MPs are not able to think out of the box and propose alternative ideas. Worse, they dont seem to have the courage to speak out. Leadership is not suing bloggers and controlling the media to make you look strong. It is about having principles and values, and formulating policies based on those values. It is about explaining the merits of policies to the people and then having the confidence to let them choose freely in elections. The next time PAP MPs talk to their residents and come up against tough questions, they should demonstrate leadership and tell the audience that there are alternatives, albeit from another party. yoursdp.org/news/do_pap_mps_know_what_leadership_is/2015-01-15-5937
