GE 2011

y'know, all these while, i wasn't really interested in news or whatsoever.

but maybe ever since the presidential election in the states few years ago, i wanna know what's happening in d world in a sense.

And now tt i've lived for 20/1 years, i ought to know about the politics in my home country. I even went to read some of LKY's biography and also the latest book of his, the "HARD TRUTHS". His views are soooo open! I mean, he's really a wise man! Watching the interview (from the book), made me teared. Cos he's really my idol and seeing him grew to sucha age..it's so amazing! I really admire him loadx!

Okay, I've always wanted to vote this year after learning tt there's gonna be an election this year (which have been announced a week ago, it's gonna be on may 7). I suddenly felt soo happy tt i'm turning 21 this year (but not yet!), cos i thought i'd have a chance to vote!! but who knows!

i have to be 21 as at 1 Jan 2011 in order for me to be eligible for the voting. ):

sad sad sad!!! i was really really disappointed okay!!!

And knowing that this year's election is soooo competitive, make me feel even mre disappointed that i can't vote at all!!!!!!

i really don't want singapore to fall in the hands of the opposition (unless it really have what it takes)!!!

it's not that i'm totally Pro-PAP and not open minded to having oppositions occupying the majority seats in the parliament. it's just that i felt that PAP has really done their part in building up Singapore all these years!!! (oh well, you can argue that it's not entirely the body of PAP, but most of the credit goes to our founding Father LKY)...

but hey! it's just like fashion. if there's no designer to design clothings, then where's the trend? where's the style?? where's the clothes?

so it's the same here...LKY is just like the "fashion designer" while the rest of the team are like the "fabric", "accesories", "sewing machines"...

Whereas for the opposition parties, i really almost literally "blackout" when i read some of their manifestos! It's like O.M.G!!! Are you kidding me??

you think by cutting down all those "extra expenses" will further develop Singapore to a better place, better economy?? Hell no! I simply think it's an "incentive" to attract the "cheapo" crowd. Cos ppl hv been complaining (yeapx, typical singaporean..COMPLAIN!) on the high living cost and all tt extra expenses they have to pay. So they use this to come up with "attractive" to capture the audience. But i'm not saying tt i'm entirely correct here. It's just that from my past years' education, i learnt that it's not as simple as that. I mean you can't simple cut down on GST or wtv as and when u like. It's part of contributing to the society so that the country could grow! Otherwise, where do you think singapore would be if there isn't any contribution from the citizens? Still this beautiful, garden city? an almost developed nation? Well, think again! And of course, to sustain being a ddeveloping nation, there's definitely gonna be some opp. cost. Do you think you can just sit there and let your pets grow without giving food and water to it? Same logic there.

And don't think that the money we've contributed to the economy has gone to the pockets of our reps and never returned! Otherwise, where do you think our roads and transportation, flats, housing, shopping malls, school, health care system come from?? Dropped from the sky? And who are the ones that developed them? Of course it's those reps! All their brain juice goes to these developments and so, of course they deserve to earn tt amt of money! It's not like they sit in the office/home and do nothing okay! I really hate it when i overheard some ppl saying the bads about them. And if u were to vote for the oppositions, will you guarantee that you they can do the job earning MINIMUM wage??? (well, some manifestos stated that they would contribute part of their earning back to the society..but hmmmmmmmmm? 0.0)

All right, basically, i'm just not into any sides. (but based on above, i'm obviously siding PAP) contradiction? i know! but it's just not that. I welcome any party to lead singapore! As long as it have WHAT IT TAKES to do so. I really really really fear that Singapore will fail in the hands of some random party...You might think that Singapore is such a small nation, and it wouldn't matter if it has a strong government or not, and so you just vote for anyone you like or the opposite just for the FUN of it and wanna see what the outcome of it. Or that you want something FRESH! and NEW! and you like to rebel. Or maybe even you think that the world is gonna end in 2012 (which is next year), so you just ANYHOW vote! THAT's even worse!!! so Please! Think again. You might regret! The next election is gonna be in 5 years' time! To you, it might be a blink of an eye. But within this short time span, a lot of things are gonna change drastically! Especially in a small nation like singapore.

so.........lemme emphasise again!!!
