SMU Assistant Professor Eugene Tan said there is now a greater political consciousness among Singaporeans and the society is more conscious of their rights. The view among the people is that there could be more transparency and Singaporeans want a more competitive political landscape. Professor Tan said Singaporeans did not believe that ?good governance exists only in PAP' and felt that the political system should be a robust one. The one-party system does not apply much to the younger generation and there is no strong resonance with PAP.
