At the Institute of Policy Studies' annual Singapore Perspectives conference held on Monday (Jan 23),
SMU Board of Trustees Chairman and Banyan Tree Executive Chairman Mr Ho Kwon Ping spoke about politics in 2065, 50 years ahead. He asked (and answered) three questions about the future of Singapore politics. First, what events could lead to a massive loss of legitimacy or confidence in the People's Action Party (PAP) or the current political system? Second, what are the chances of these events happening? Third, is a two-party pendulum democracy a likely, stable and sustainable option? Alternatively, what might realistically evolve instead, in the specific Singapore context?
