An unproved political theory that the "People Action Party" (PAP)—the only political party that has ruled Singapore since independence—uses lawsuits to silence critics, and favors detention without trial for those who promote racial or religious hatred.
Ex-PAP member and former presidential candidate, Dr. Tan, is appealing Singapore's High Court's dismissal of his legal challenge that the upcoming Presidential Election should be an affirmative election—however, his fears of being a victim of PAPism for "rejecting multiracism" are not unfounded.

2: A belief that a hurried pace is superior to that of a slower pace

3: An obnoxious impatience with slow pace. Type A personalities often exhibit this impatience and oppress those of slower pace.
In a coffee shop one notices the pacist telling a barista who is preparing a caffeinated beverage to order, "Hurry up! I have a meeting!!!" The pacist acts as if their own timing and agendas are not only superior to that of the slower pace people but that the slower pace of others is inherently annoying or cause for oppression. Pacism is the underlying factor in impatience with others' slower pace.
