I am not a die-hard fan of the PAP, nor am I one to vote for opposition for its own sake. I think if pressed, I would consider myself a swing voter. What is said/ implied/omitted by those seeking election influences how I cast my vote come polling day ( Read more... )

just me

I've been thinking very hard about all the things I've been feeling about the Singapore government and the upcoming elections, and I really like the way you've put things.There's a lot more I want to say, but I can't put it as eloquently as you have.

i cannot believe you cannot put it down in words, so just go ahead and say something. you're a good reflective writer!

"a political party is not the government is not the civil service"

Unfortunately too many people do not understand this.

There are people of real substance and integrity and there are duds, both within the opposition parties and within the PAP. While I have my own personal convictions and concerns, what I care about most for this GE is for the electorate to vote according to what they BELIEVE in and what they HOPE for in the future, and not just because they are AFRAID (all that scare-mongering from the PAP is really distasteful).

you are right. but the problem is that as a population we have always been made to feel that we should concentrate on bread and butter issues and let the smart ones take care of everything else for us. so even to cast a vote becomes an issue of being afraid to lose the guidance of those that know better about running the country.
