According to the specific conditions of different historical stages, we should adjust the Party's program, principles and policies in a timely manner, promote coordinated economic and social development, and gradually improve people's lives. 1959 After Singapore's independence, the People's Action Party has become a major force in organizing, leading and promoting its economic, political and social development. At the beginning of independence, many politicians and economists predicted that without resources and markets, Singapore would be difficult to survive. According to the actual poverty situation in Singapore, the People's Action Party (PAP) put forward the basic national policy of "survival first, building the country economically" and established the policy orientation centered on economic construction. The People's Action Party has formulated four or five five-year and ten-year plans for economic development, including the five-year plan focusing on export substitution, the ten-year plan oriented by high technology and the national welfare plan based on provident fund. For more than 40 years, the Party has formulated corresponding economic policies in a timely manner in the ever-changing international political and economic environment, steadily pushed forward the development plan, and pushed the economy to a new level step by step. Economic development has laid a solid material foundation for political stability.

With the change of social structure, we should adjust and broaden the social foundation of the Party and party member team in time, strengthen social integration and consolidate the ruling foundation of the Party. 1954 Singapore people's action party was founded as a Chinese-speaking workers' party, and its founder included seven outstanding trade union members. In recent years, under the impact of globalization and new economic tide, with the development of information technology and the evolution of modernization process, the industrial structure of Singapore has changed, and industrialization has created a middle class that accounts for more than half of Singapore's total employed population. They play an increasingly important role not only in economic activities, but also in political life, and are the main source of political party votes. Influenced by western education, the middle class in Singapore is more in favor of western-style democratic politics and hopes to have a strong opposition party to restrict and supervise the ruling party. In order to win the support of the middle class and avoid the shrinking of the party's social foundation, the People's Action Party has implemented a series of measures to take care of the political demands of the middle class. With the stability of its ruling position, the People's Action Party (PAP) absorbs new forces from all walks of life and tries to make it a "national movement" representing all races and all walks of life. These social classes and groups mainly include craftsmen, workers, shop assistants, government employees, teachers and business people. The reason why the People's Action Party can maintain its vigorous vitality for a long time lies in its good adaptability to the social environment, its ability to attract new forces and elites from all walks of life, including the middle class, and its efforts to shape the image of mass political parties in order to seek cross-class support and consolidate its ruling position.

Pay attention to strengthening the party's own construction, standardize the party's organizational system, strengthen the party's institutionalized construction, and make the party's thinking and pace consistent. The Singapore People's Action Party attaches more importance to the party's own construction. The Party's party member can be divided into four categories: party member, non-party member, party member and party member. There are strict conditions for becoming a mass party member. Party member, a mass, can only be appointed as party member, a cadre, after being tested and truly contributing to the Party. party member, a cadre, accounts for about 1% of the total number of party member. Only party member cadres can be nominated to run for parliament. Party member, a cadre running for parliament openly, represents the image of the People's Action Party. After they entered the parliament, they became the political core of the country led by the People's Action Party. In order to close the relationship between the Party and the voters, the People's Action Party formulated the system of party member's regular visits to voters in the early days of its administration, and it has persisted ever since. Members of the People's Action Party are all senior members of the party, party member. When they come forward to receive voters, they can listen to their opinions directly and shorten the distance between the high-level party members and the people. The party's organizational structure is relatively strict, and the Central Executive Committee is the highest decision-making body, which is in charge of all the party's affairs. Under the General Executive Committee, responsible for the management of organizations at all levels. The General Executive Committee consists of nine subcommittees with different functions. The People's Action Party (PAP) has party branches in every congressional district, and some large constituencies also have regional branches. The party has also established youth leagues and women's organizations within the party to attract a large number of young people and women as the party's reserve forces. The Party implements the mechanism of leaders' core group meeting attended by party member and government officials, and holds regular meetings every month to discuss the recent policies of the Party and the government, listen to the opinions of members repeatedly, and ensure the scientific decision-making. The People's Action Party attaches great importance to training and selecting successors. The party not only selects talents from within the party, but also actively seeks elites from all fields outside the party and lobbies them to join the party and enter politics. Singapore's political self-renewal process is unique, and the selection of successors is planned and carried out step by step. The selection procedure of political leaders in Singapore is quite strict. Only after passing the examination of the Public Affairs Committee, participating in the inner-party elections and being judged by the masses can they hold certain positions. The People's Action Party first selected 1000 outstanding elements from 50,000 well-educated people, then selected 50 outstanding elements from this 1000 people for long-term training and inspection, and finally selected 30 of them to hold important positions in the government or other organizations. The smooth transition and handover of Singapore's leadership is rare in developing countries.

Take various measures to restrain party member's behavior and keep the party in power clean. When the Singapore People's Action Party was founded, it put forward the slogan of "Down with Corruption" and set the basic color of party flag as white, symbolizing incorruptibility. The Party requires party member cadres to be strict with themselves and set an example. Singapore has also established a corruption investigation bureau directly led by the prime minister, and the government has given the anti-corruption bureau extensive rights. The bureau can arrest suspects suspected of corruption and bribery without an arrest warrant, and has the right to confiscate all bribes of corruption crimes. Law enforcement in Singapore is very strict. Anyone who breaks the law, regardless of his position, will go to hell to pay the price. Singapore has also formulated strict rules and regulations to effectively supervise civil servants. The Guide Manual for Civil Servants clearly stipulates that civil servants must declare the property status of themselves and their spouses to the relevant departments every year, including movable property, immovable property, precious jewelry, bank deposits, stocks and securities. Civil servants must keep a work diary every day to record their activities. The permanent secretary of the competent unit shall regularly check the contents of the records and send them to the Corruption Investigation Bureau for verification immediately if problems are found. Civil servants cannot accept gifts, banquets and loans from subordinates. In order to reduce the temptation of corruption and bribery of civil servants, Singapore has also implemented a policy of "high salary and honesty" to enable them to live a decent life.

The People's Action Party of Singapore believes that the implementation of democratic politics must be combined with its own national conditions and establish a democratic view that is compatible with its own cultural traditions. There are great ethnic, religious and cultural differences in Singapore, and the implementation of the two-party system or multi-party system is prone to ethnic division and social unrest. The People's Action Party also believes that one-party rule is conducive to recruiting talents to the maximum extent. If there are two or more political parties in power, limited talents will be scattered among many political factions, resulting in unnecessary waste of resources. Therefore, Singapore does not copy the western-style multi-party system, but implements the "one-party advantage system" of the People's Action Party. Although Singapore law stipulates that five citizens can form a political party, leaders such as Lee Kuan Yew do not advocate the implementation of the opposition party system. In response to young people's worship of western multi-party democratic politics, Li pointed out that opposition politics is "opposing for the sake of opposition" and has no substantive significance. On the surface, the People's Action Party recognizes multi-party democracy, but it formulates various rules and regulations and uses judicial means to squeeze the opposition party's activity space. Because the government has taken strict control measures against the opposition parties, such as not allowing the opposition parties to hold public meetings and make anti-government remarks except 10 days of the general election, although only a few opposition party members in the parliament can freely express their opinions in the parliament, their role is very limited because of the control of the media. On the contrary, the ruling party can understand the people's feelings and adjust its policies from the political views of the opposition party and the support of the masses for the opposition party. Singapore's political development model is an improved model of blending East and West. Singapore implements a harmonious parliamentary system, and the written constitution stipulates that the executive, legislative and judicial organs should bear their respective responsibilities. The president is the head of state and the parliament is unicameral. Parliament and the president exercise legislative power together. The President appoints the leader of the parliamentary majority as the Prime Minister, and appoints cabinet members on the basis of the nomination of the Prime Minister, and the cabinet is collectively responsible to the Parliament. Judicial power belongs to the Supreme Court and its subordinate courts. As the People's Action Party (PAP) has occupied the overwhelming majority of seats in Parliament for a long time, it has formed a pattern that the cabinet is presided over by the party's top leader and the speaker is the leader of other parties. According to the Constitution, the Prime Minister can only nominate ministers, ministers of government affairs and vice-ministers of government affairs from elected members to form a cabinet, so in fact, the cabinet and parliament are almost composed of people of the same class. In this way, the People's Action Party controls both the cabinet and the parliament, and the government's proposal can be easily passed in the parliament. The People's Action Party (PAP) has transformed the Party's ideological line into the national will through legal procedures and implemented it through the government. The party does not issue calls, documents and orders in the name of political parties. Lee Kuan Yew and Lee Hsien Loong made speeches on behalf of Senior Minister and Prime Minister respectively. They stressed that civil servants' "loyalty to the government does not mean loyalty to the ruling party". On the surface, we can't see the program, line, principles and policies issued in the name of the ruling party, dilute the political parties and strengthen the government. But for party member People's Action Party, loyalty to the government is equal to loyalty to the ruling party. As far as the non-ruling party is concerned, whether it supports the People's Action Party or not, it must implement the government's decision, because the government is elected by the people, not a one-party government. This will reduce the resistance to implementing the ideological and theoretical line, principles and policies of the People's Action Party, and incorporate the behavior of non-ruling parties into government policies and decrees. In Singapore, the People's Action Party firmly controls the leadership through the government.

Advocate multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multi-cultural integration, and advocate inter-religious harmony and tolerance. Singapore is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society, in which Chinese account for 77% of the total population, Malays account for 15% and Indians account for 7%. Most people in China believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and a few believe in Catholicism or Christianity. Malays believe in Islam; Indians believe in Hinduism. Before independence, racial hatred in Singapore was very deep, but since 1969, there has never been any racial riots in the country. This is because Singapore has chosen a unique way to deal with ethnic relations, that is, pluralistic integration. The so-called pluralism means respecting the characteristics and cultures of all ethnic groups and letting them choose their own lives according to their own customs. The so-called integration means that all ethnic groups reach a consensus in the political, economic and cultural fields, so that national consciousness and national consciousness overlap, and then a nation-Singaporeans is formed. "One country, one nation, one destiny" is the goal that the Singapore government will strive to achieve in the process of national integration. In order to achieve this goal, politically, the government has repeatedly publicized its feelings for the motherland, asking everyone to realize that they are Singaporeans, not members of a certain ethnic group, and calling for "loyalty under the national flag regardless of race." Economically, we should vigorously develop productive forces and provide equal opportunities for all ethnic groups to participate in economic construction and enjoy economic achievements. In order to promote racial harmony, Singapore has also implemented a plan to build apartments to turn all ethnic groups into mixed ethnic groups. This housing allocation policy facilitates residents of different races to get to know each other.
