An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
The erosion of public trusts in the PAP, and their elites does not come from any of the opposition parties, or the opposition MPs.
A new potent political force has emerged which is unprecedented in Singapore history. This force is far more radical, dynamic, reflective of the people’s mood, and certainly more threatening to the PAP than all the opposition parties combined.
For want of a better expression, I will call this force the Virtual Movement for Democracy in Cyberspace (VMD)
It is a movement without leaders, organisation, or membership. Yet it has a capacity to grow, and is already setting the political demands for change.
The power of this virtual movement lies in its ability to synergise the individual desires for democratic changes in Singapore into real collective political actions.
The energy within this virtual movement comes from the decades of pent up frustrations, as well as the feeling of betrayal of the Singapore cause by the PAP elites who have, over the decades, evolved into a self-serving bureaucratic capitalist class. All of us are now part of this Virtual Movement for Democracy.
