GE2011 - Final 81-6

Date: May 7, 2011

Its a big win for the oppositions...

Oppositions should be very happy to bag Aljunid & Hougang with 81-6 result.

Although Mrs. Chiam loses the Potong Pasir, and Mr. Chiam has lost too.  I think they deserve a rest, as they have contributed so much in the past.  It is the time to give the baton to young people.

Also sad to see George Yeo lost.  Well, some gain some lost, that is life.

For the young Nicole Seah, there are plenty of bright future for her.  Aim as high as possible next time, and aim to build an A-team.  Its still a team play in elections.

As for SM Goh, the winning margin is not that pretty.  He do have to consider about what to do with TPL.  Even after the elections, she still makes a lot of headlines in Twitter.  People wants her out.  SM Goh, your next move.

Dr. Vincent, Michelle, Ang, etc.  Too bad you guys cannot get Bukit Timah.  If you got it, it will be a big plus!  But people will wait for you in the next 5 years.

PAP.. please listen to the people.  In the next 5 years, it is your last chance to show your report cards.  Please do not "repent" Aljunid.  Be fair, and show generous, and listen to the opposition voice, as well as listen to the people.

This elections, there are still a lot of fears, a lot of people still wanting their HDB upgraded, and fear this and that.  5 years later, new batch of netizens will grown up, and the present ones will become even more mature.

Peace, Harmony is what it should be.

As for me, I am still a Malaysian, Thanks to Nicole Seah's facebook page that brought me into reading all these GE 2011 issues, and gain much understanding on these issues which may or may not impact me.

 

GE 2011 - Reporter

Date:  May 3, 2011

I always thought that reporters are a very good occupation, where they fight to find out the truth, and report the truth.

Some how in Singapore, according to one of my friend, it is pity to see reporters in Singapore are refrained from showing the real pictures of the news. For example, cannot take picture of the attendance of a PAP rally and compare to Opposition rally.

What my friend says is true, what is the meaning to become a reporter where you are restricted from reporting truth, or reporting your own opinion?

Today I am sad to see that TodayDigital start to push out a lot of PAP candidates youtube.  Where they are cutting down the opposition one.  This is very bad.

GE 2011 - Differences Between GE 2006 & GE 2011

Date:  May 3, 2011

I spoke to one of my mentor today, and he shared with me this...

The WP Rally is always enjoyable.  The turnout is very strong, just like this year.  But the main difference is...

in GE 2006, many have attended the oppositions rally.  But when they go home, they cannot vote.  Because their GRC is walkover.  But this year, the main difference is, the same people still go to the oppositions rally, and when they go back to their own GRC, they can vote.

So, who will win this election?  The future, hard to tell.   All the best to both party.

They are more and more people attended the opposition rally.  And these people has a voting slip this year!  If I am the government, I will be KIA.....

GE 2011: Why Civil Servant don't have to vote only for PAP?

Date:  May 3, 2011

Last week, when I was talking to some of my Singaporean friends... they will give me this indications...

"Oh, my sister is a civil servant, she must vote PAP!"

"My dad working in a government agency, he will make us vote for PAP!"

...

WOW!  I think the government = PAP uses the scare tactic very effectively.  The question is: "If you are a civil servant, do you really need to vote only for PAP only?"

==> Who are the one saying this?

==> Voting is secret, no one should know who you vote for.

==> How did your bosses know who you vote for if you don't talk about it.

Actually, I was wondering how many civil servants are out there?  The police, army, the civil defense, the government agency such as IRAS, CPF, etc, the teachers, WAH... so many.

If this is a mandate set by the government, I think the government has already won a lot of votes.  Just think about it, how many voters are from the civil servants sector.  This is a democratic country, therefore, all votes should be secret, even if you are a civil servant, you have ALL THE RIGHT to vote for people you like, even if they are the oppositions.

There is no such thing that if you are civil servant and you must vote for PAP.

The voting process, as explained by Silvia Lim and gang, are very safe, and secretive.  No one will know who you vote for.  The serial number on the voting slip is merely just to have uniques tickets.  That's it.

So, don't be fool by the PAP-inclined supervisors telling you that you must vote for PAP.

OK.  敬老尊贤 respecting your mom and dad is one thing.  When you reach the age where you can vote, you should vote on your own, but not your father or mother forcing you to vote.  So, if your dad is a civil servant, and if you vote fore Oppositions, the government will not know.  If they do, something is very wrong here.

GE 2011 - Oppositions assured that the votes are secret!

Date:  May 3, 2011

In the past few days, opposition parties has gone thru very lengthy explanation to assure that your votes are indeed secret.  Unless you have a big mouth to tell every one who you vote for, no body will ever know who you vote for if you do not tell.

.

Today, I get to spoken to some friends and we have discussions about how secrecy is the voting ballot.  Let's look at the voting process in reversed order.  (may miss out some steps, but the general ideas are there).

Step 6.  6 months after the voting, they will go to the supreme court vault to take out all the ballot box which is sealed.  Both the PAP and oppositions party representatives will closely examine the box to see if any one has tampered it?  If not, without opening the ballot box, it will got sent to burnt it all.  ==> no chance to check the serial number and see what you guys voting.

Step 5.  After the counting is done.  All the voting slips are placed together and transferred to a big container box.  And it will get sealed, and every one, PAP and oppositions will sign on it.  And then, it will get transferred to supreme court vault.  And keep there for 6 months.  Why keep for 6 months, just in case there are dispute and need to re-count again the ballot.  ==> The question is, during the 6 month, is it possible that some one or some people actually open the seal, and have a chance to find out who you guys vote for?  It is possible, but if PAP does that, then, it is no good for their reputations.  As after 6 months, the same group of people will need to go and check the seal, and signature.

Step 4.  The ballot tickets from each boxes are joined together and manually being sorted out, and then, they group them in 1-hundred a stack.  So that this is easy for counting later.  So at that time, both PAP and oppositions are there, and I seriously don't think human being has such good memory to know which serial number match to who and who they vote for.  So, up to this point, your vote is still a secret.

Step 3.  So, the voting stop at 8pm.  And then all the ballot boxes will be transferred to a centralized place so that they can start counting the votes.

Step 2.  You walk to the voting station, and it should have lots of privacy for you to fill in your vote and then throw it into the voting ballot box.  ==>  I am sure there are no CCTV to monitor you.

 

Step 1.  You register, and get a stack of voting tickets.  And then you go to the voting station, and mark the person you want to vote for.  Yes, there are serial number, but the serial number is merely used to make sure how many tickets are issued.  During registration, the election people will know who you are and match to which serial number.  But as long as you do not reveal who you want to vote for, so, you are still fine, and your vote is secret!

So, the whole process is very secretive, and no one should know who you vote for.  So, if you are grass root leaders, does not mean that you need to vote for PAP.  If you are civil servant, does not mean that you cannot vote for oppositions.

They have no way to know who you vote for.  So, it is safe!

 

GE 2011 - Statistics

Date:  May 2, 2011

OK, I never like statistics during my university days.  I simply cannot handle numbers especially when it is base on a sample size and the result of the statistics will represent a large group of populations.

During this GE 2011.  I notice the following...

No. 1.  Every day there are a lot of videos has been uploaded to youtube.  And there is this LIKE and DISLIKE button.  I notice that if it is Opposition, majority will LIKES the video.  And if it is Opposition?  majority will be DISLIKE.

Hmm... Does it mean that ONLY oppositions supporter watching the youtube?  And ruling party has no supporter watching youtube? (may be those who comes from Tanjung Pagar CC and eating the chicken rice has no time to watch youtube?).   It is very strange, what does that actually mean?  In reality, I would have guess that both side supporter will do their job to like and dislike their opponent, so that the likes and dislikes should be balanced and close to equal... But in Singapore ... So strange.

So, let's go deeper and examine....  Let's take a look at Ms. Nicole Seah best seller video... The videos is viewed 155,635 times... and 1345 people LIKES it, and only 151 people DISLIKES it.  May be majority people does not know what is Like and Dislike button do.  Die hard opposition supporter will Like the video.  Surprisingly die hard PAP supporters are not that many to Dislike it.  so, why there aren't many PAP supporter to dislike her?  Is it because, they buy in Nicole's story?

Let's look at the other young candidates.  She has lesser people watching her video.  i.e. 53, 319 people.  Out of these people who watched the video, there are about 1,929 people DISLIKE her speech.  And only 43 people LIKE her.  Hmm... So strange, why there are more people dislike her than Nicole Seah supporters likes her.  And there are lesser people LIKE her.  so, does it mean that even pro-PAP people disapprove her?

No. 2.  Facebook.  I have about 600 friends.  But from what I can see is almost all my friends are pro-Opposition.  My friends are from various company, various places, and most of the time we do not talk about politics.  But from what I can see their comments and status statements, I can see roughly about 90% are pro-oppositions, and only 10% are pro-PAP.

It is very interesting statistics that I have observed from my perspective.  What about yours?

 

 

 

GE 2011: Mr. PAP, Mrs. PAP & Miss. PAP

Date:  May 1, 2011

First of all, Happy Labor Day!!  Don't forget to allow your Domestic Helper to have a day off, be it let her go out or let her do nothing for today.

I like to share this story, as I found it quite amazing ... and fascinating... Actually, I am not offended by all these, but I found it quite amusing.

I encounter the following scenario.  There was this PAP supporter, whom is quite close to me.  I can tell that she is a PAP supporter as some times, she will comment things about why why why on oppositions.  I started to make fun of her, and call her Miss. PAP.

That day, another PAP supporter came and join our little conversation about politics.  She is a mid-age person, married, lets call her Mrs. PAP.  Miss. PAP told Mrs. PAP how I spoken to her, trying to convince her my views about the GE 2011 which I tends to lean towards the opposition, but not blindly.  My view is very simple, I think we should have a little more non-PAP MP serving the government so that we do not have a single party ruling party in the government.

Then, Mrs. PAP suddenly said: "Aiya!  He is not Singaporean, and he cannot vote!"

I was like huh?  "What does the conversations to do with the fact that I cannot vote?"

Mrs. PAP "He cannot void, no need to listen to him.  Whatever he say is 做乱 (Chuo Luan, create chaos) only. "

I was like... "Well, she is correct, I am not singaporean, and I cannot vote!"

But "Cannot vote, does not mean that I cannot comment about the politics in this country.  Right?"

Today, I met another good friend, who used to be in youth grassroot.  And a group of friends were discussing about the rallies, and he, Mr. PAP, too, comment almost the same thing... "He is not a Singaporean, cannot vote!"...

HaHaHaHa

It  is very interesting to note that...

1.  If I spoken to a PAP supporter, I almost get the same comment from them.  I am not a Singaporean, and I cannot even vote.  To be fair, I only spoken to 3 of them, so, the sample size could be too small to stereo type them.  Somehow, all the close friends in my circle are mostly oppositions inclined.

2.  But I spoken to the oppositions friends, all the oppositions inclined friends are willing to listen what me - the non-Singaporeans - have to say.  They are interested to know if we - the non-Singaporeans approves their manifesto or not.  Very interesting.  They won't mentioned about I being a non-Singaporean, cannot vote.  Some even ask me to volunteer.  Very interesting.  Some even agree to my observations.

3.  Yes, I am not a Singaporean, but I am concern about the politics of this country.  Simply because, I cannot vote, and I am a tax payer to this country.  So, I need to be concern about this.  As what I always complaint, IDA spent so much money to build the crapy Wireless@SG.  Those are from tax payer money.

4.  Yes, I cannot vote.  Does not mean that I cannot participate in politics conversations and express my views.  Who knows if a non-Singaporean can have views that concur to the oppositions, even though the oppositions are not too friendly on the FT (Foreign Talents) topic, is it not telling you something about the politics here?

5.  I converted my 2 sons and wife to become Singaporean.  And I always believe that my wife will have the wise choice when voting comes.  So, I also contributes to this country what...

HaHaHaHa... I rather to hear them saying "Don't listen to him, he is drunk!"  Cheers!

Found this cute photos on the Internet.  Really cute.

 

 

GE 2011 - The Void Decks Gets Washed The Night Before & The Dustbins Appear...

Date:  May 1, 2011

Got to love this... Is it true?  when the MP comes, the dustbin appear, the void decks gets washed the night before? HaHaHa

GE2011 - Why Sometimes People Vote for PAP

Date: April 30, 2011

I wanted to share this story...

I told you before that my wife is a new citizen, and she definitely will vote for the ruling party.  Today is her birthday, and yesterday we had a good dinner at Le Bristo De Sommelier.  In front of my friends, I called her "胆小的叛徒“ (cowardly traitor) because of the fact that she has converted to a Singapore citizen last year, and I am assuming that she wanted to vote for the ruling party because she knew that the ruling party will win, and she wants the family not to be marked by the ruling party.

When I told her this joke I called her, she then tell me, that she is OK with the 叛徒 (traitor) part but not the 胆小 (cowardly) part.  HaHaHa, I asked her why.  So, she gave me the following reason.

Wife:  Do you know where we are?

Ken:  West Coast.

Wife:  Do you know who is fighting there?

Ken:  PAP Vs RP

Wife:  Do you know anyone in RP?

Ken:  Not really.

Wife:  Do you know what is their Manifesto?

Ken:  No, I have not read it.

Wife:  Do you know what is their policy on PR, New Citizen and Foreign Talents?

Ken:  Errr. NO.

Wife:  Read. (On iPhone)

Ken: I quote "Reform foreign worker policy to ensure that businesses get skilled labour.  but citizens come first.  Require new citizens and PRs to do national service or pay lump sum tax instead." unquote.

Wife:  So...

Ken:  Oh Shit!  No way I pay lump sum tax as PR.

Wife:  Read others... SDP is good, so as worker party...

Ken:  SDP wants company to show skills requirement, try fulfill singaporean first.  WP is about transparency, show the citizens and PR  and foreign talent numbers.  And then work from there.  (I continue read...) NSP impose FT quota, raise salary of employment pass, etc.  SPP flat 17.5% tax instead of layered levies on skilled FT.  SDA raise pay of unattractive jobs.  WOW, only RP is the one that also target at PR and New Citizen.  and PAP policy is always kind to us.  At least I don't have to serve national service.

Wife:  So, do you think I will vote.

Ken:  Kiss Kiss.  Sorry ah wife.  From now on, you are "明智的叛徒".

The key points of this story is, DON'T VOTE BLINDLY.  And not all PAP are bad.  And sometimes, when you are in a area, where there is no strong opposition, and if you do not like the opposition manifesto, you don't have to vote them.

A very good friend ask my help to translate some Chinese for RP today.  If without the story above, I would have help.  But since RP policies are not good to PR and New Citizen, In principal, I cannot help them.  So, I told my good friend about this, and she understands it.  She said "Opps... I also did not read the manifesto".  So, I say, how can you not read the manifesto lor?  I support my wife in this case.  But I still like Silvia Lim and Nicole Seah thou.... and Chen Show Mao, and many...

 

 

 

Unusual Taxi Driver from Malaysia

Date: Apr 29, 2011

Just saw the youtube for Ms. Sylvia Lim from Workers Party.  Talking about PM Lee's Taxi Driver analogy for the PAP's Manifesto.  And I suddenly remember this story below...

Normally, when you go to any country, you just hop on to the taxi, and tell the taxi driver where you want to go, and the taxi driver will drive you to the place.  In Malaysia, if you can buy a "Taxi Ticket" before you hop on, that will be safest as the price is guarantee to be reasonable.  If you get a taxi from a remote area, make sure you have your Google Map on your Mobile Phone to see where the taxi actually bringing you.  Otherwise, the meter can start clicking to a very expensive price.

I wanted to share my encounter with this Mr. Tan, a taxi driver in Malaysia.  I find it quite unique and makes me think about a lot of things.

So, I was finishing my favorite nasi lemak at Toast Box just outside Boulevard Hotel @ Mid Valley.  I was counting the taxi in the queues just in front of the Toast Box.  This Chinese taxi driver was looking at my direction.  We exchange a few eye contacts.  As soon as my colleague finished her tea, we walk towards the taxi and hop on it.

"Plaza Sentral" I told the taxi driver to go to.

The taxi was quite clean.  The taxi driver is quite chatty, and we start to talk.  And this is where it gets very interesting...

Taxi Driver:  Sir, let me ask you this.  When you go overseas, and before you hop on to the taxi, do you make observations.

Me:  What sort of observations?

Taxi Driver:  For me, when I take a taxi, I will always do few things...

Me:  Oh, what is it?

Taxi Driver:  First, I checked the taxi tyres.

Me:  (Surprise to hear the answer)  Huh?  Why?

Taxi Driver:  Checking the tyres will tell you if the taxi driver gotsent his car to servicing or not?  Some Taxi drivers don't do that.  That will gives you the personality of the taxi drivers.  If the tyres is old, and no more patterns, then, I will not hop on to that taxi, and I rather wait.

Me:  Oh, I see.  (Taxi Driver in Malaysia usually are the owner of the taxi, except for the Blue Taxi belongs to a company)

Taxi Driver:  Because, what if it rains and the tyres are not functioning.  If the taxi driver do not take care of the tyres, do you think he will take care of the engine?  So, what if engine breaks down in middle of no where.  All these inconvenience will make you unhappy.

Me:  Oh, I see.  (So, not only to see the tyres, see if the taxi got any accident dents, etc is equally important).

Taxi Driver:  Next, you see the driver.  Feel his breathe.

Me:  Huh?? Are you sure or not.

Taxi Driver:  Sure, To see if the taxi driver is in a good condition to drive the taxi or not.  If he drinks alcohol, you straight away can tell, and you should say No to the taxi driver.  Look at his eyes, lips, some times can tell you whether he is sick or not.  If you can sense that he is no condition to drive the taxi, don't take it.

Me:  I see...

...

We reached the destination, the meter says RM8, I gave him RM10 for a good chat.  And I took his name card.

The above conversation actually makes me think deep.  I never done what he has explained to me before.  Since when you hop on to a taxi and check the tyres and check the breathe of the taxi driver.  I can tell you every one of us, flag a taxi, and then, simply hop on it, and tell taxi driver where to go.

May be the taxi in Singapore is very well maintain, and there is very well organized law to govern them.  And I suddenly remember, that the taxi fare in Singapore is ain't CHEAP at all.  The fact that I always leave my car in the Airport for a short 2 days trip is... the car pack fees is much cheaper than the taxi fare to bring me from my home to the airport and going back.  i.e.

S$13.60 for budget Airlines leaving your car overnight there from 8am to next day 4pm

S$40 for T1, T2, T3 leaving your car overnight there for 2 days.  (Daily cap is $20).

So, if compare to taking the taxi during peak hours plus ordering the taxi, wow, It can come up to S$30 x 2 for the return fare.

So, yes, our taxi is clean, our taxi is well maintained, and the driver is safe.  But one thing that makes me mad is the taxi fare keep increasing.  10-15 years ago, I don't recall it is that expensive.  How about, passing thru the ERP, all these cost was passed down to the passengers.

So, the key message from this story is...

1.  Do we really check the taxi condition, the driver condition when we get on to the taxi?  Do we need to check?  I think we should check all the time.

2.  In Singapore, taking taxi is safe, too safe, but the fares of ERP, taxi charges are not cheap.  And it is constantly increasing and we cannot do anything about it.

So, I don't think it is the driver that is matter, I think we should also think of the policies of public transportations, those who set it.  And who can make the people who take the taxi happy.

So, after my meeting at Plaza Sentral, I hop on to another taxi, and oh SHARKS!  I forgot about checking the tyres.  I forgot about checking the taxi drivers.  and I just simply blindly hop on to the taxi.  HaHaHaHaHa

It is this video, after I watched, and makes me remember about the taxi story.  That is where I woke up.

GE 2011 - Why concern? You are not even Singaporean!!

Date: April 28, 2011

1.  A lot of my friends are very puzzled.  Ken, you are not a Singaporean, how come you are so interested in our country politics.  And you seems to support opposition.  why?

==> Although I am not Singaporean, I am a PR who worked in Singapore.  And every year, I pay tax.  Every time I buy things, I pay GST.  Every time, I go outside, I am damn piss off with the Wireless@SG that uses our tax payer money, and implement some worst public WiFi service in the world.  That is why I wanted to know more about the GE 2011.  And Guess what, the more I knew, the more I become angry.  And my thoughts are, Singapore cannot have a single party government.  It is not right, you must have opposition "noise" in the government.  I came from Malaysia, and I saw how Anwar and the oppositions make it back to the Parliament.  I saw how Penang was well managed by Opposition.  And guess what, do you know Kuala Lumpur is belong to the opposition?  I also see how Perak was once managed well by Opposition, until, the BN got the Perak state back, and then all development stagnant.  That is why I know it is important to have some opposition in the government so that policies are not simply any how being approved and made.  So that there is a checking point.  Everybody already know that, PAP is going to win the GE 2011.  But it cannot be opposition only have 2 out of 87 seats in Parliament.  So, I was hoping to see, opposition at least have 7-9 seats out of the 87.  By having such minority in there, it does make some different.  At least the ruling party also think twice before passing a policies.

 

2.  So, when does it all started?

==>  It all started from her.  A 27 years old chic participate in election, and wanted to be a MP.  Yes, we must give her the credit.  From this young face, it attracts people like me to actually go to see what is going on, why government is recommending this young girl to become the next MP.  Then, I think she does not know what is "Social Media" impact, and did not even think of creating a new facebook page or what so ever, people start "digging" things out from the facebook.  The "Kate Spade" photo la, the "dump your boyfriend and married a government connection 40 years old la", the "stomp your feet and I don't know what to say la"... all these negative things seems to back fire this poor kid.  So, at that time, my only interest is to see and look for you tubes of hers, and then, all linked to a group of unhappy Singaporean discussing about PAP, etc... andI continue to read all these shocking and shioking things that is not available on The Straits Times.

And then, there is another cute chic in the block, she suddenly appeared...

And she is only 24, even younger then the 27 years old.  And WOW... she looks pretty... So, you know, lets hunt for more youtube, and hoping to find something more interesting...  So, when you see her youtube, it is totally different class of performance between the two youngster.  This one is very mature despite of her young age.  And she is totally clean at least for now.  And every words from her mouth are very powerful.  i.e. telling her seniors that "I will take this questions from the press (myself, don't help me)"... that actually shows that she is ready and mature to take any questions and she has her own opinion, and she wanted to bring changes...

So, you then thought the 27 years old was brought in to do something on Social Media for PAP and yet, she only has 3140 likes for a months of efforts... and Vs the 24 years old... the facebook page was setup on April 14, only merely 2 weeks, 31,293 likes, and YES, "REAL LIKES" (not fake one)... and if you read her comments, she really did a lot of hard work... So, Singapore should have a lot of people like her, and perhaps PAP should have asked her to jump ship to PAP, but then, she is little Nonya, and won't be Miss Yes-Lady, then, how?

VS. 

So, as you can see, that is how I started to read Singapore GE 2011 news, and start making comments.  And I am sure there are thousands of people like me also, do the same thing.  i.e. Wow, cute chic, search for youtube, see facebook page.... Basket, why government like that one... and then... the next questions for Singaporean is "Who will you vote?"... all these will be the new generation votes and it is a swinging vote.  It can go to ruling party, and it can also go to opposition.

 

3.  Opposition need donations, funding, let's donate!

==> One day, I say this yoursSDP.org, asking for donation.  So, my thoughts is, even though I cannot vote, why don't I help the opposition a bit.  WAIT WAIT - NO  NO.  Thanks for a big NO NO shouted to me from my colleague in office.  Ken, you are NOT Singaporean, you cannot donate to them.  That will or may disqualify them as there are strict law governing that.   Oh, I see, lucky the web site does not have Paypal otherwise, it is a click away from me.  So, my question to my colleague is ... where is PAP's donation webpage?  And everybody laugh, I guess they know I wanted to donate to PAP now... hahahahahhaa  Yes, indeed, when you submit your nomination paper 35 seconds late, the election department will reject you.  And if you fill in the forms wrongly, i.e. "Unemployment", and the election department will allow that.  Hmmmm.... something is not right here, 无风不起浪!  There must be a certain facts being gathered.  But when the public service came and verified, the candidates no longer working for us, she is not clearing leave, etc etc...   What can you say?  you don't run their HR, all papers are confidential in HR, you know... hahahaha

 

4.  Your wife is Singaporean, you not afraid ah?

==> Aiya, voting is secret one la.  I don't know who she will vote, I think she very scared one, so, may be she vote for PAP for our children sake.  I am not going to break up my family just because of we have different opinion on GE 2011 issues.  I am guessing that because she wanted our kids to go good school, etc have good educations, although some one says it is cheap, but I don't think so, you know.  She is a good mother, good wife, and she got brain.  So, I am very sure and confident she will vote for what best for our family, and for the country.  HaHaHaHa

But as I observed, this country, the only paper media is "controlled", the only TV channel is "controlled".  So, there are a lot of scared tactics, and a lot of Singaporean, will normally get their news from the Straits Times and Mediacorp News channels.  So, I am guessing there are a lot a lot of Singaporeans may not see the real pictures out there.  They also afraid losing the PAP government.  Don't worry guys, you won't lose PAP.  PAP is going to win this election as well, with hard work.  Your opposition is not that strong in this country to over throne the ruling party.  So, don't worry.  But please be worry that if there is NO opposition in the government.  I don't want to pay 9% of GST.  I don't want to drive on a congested road, with so many ERP to pay.  I don't want to use that stupid Wireless@SG that most of the time does not work.

 

5.   So, what do you wish to get at the end?

==> 爽！That's all I wanted.  Makes be feel better when there are brave souls out there and winning a few seats (more seats than 2).  And hopefully these new opposition voice will really make a small difference, and this actually is enough for many Singaporeans who love their countries.

 

In conclusions, I cannot vote in Singapore, so, whatever I said is only purely my opinion from a outsider views.  Singapore is a free speech country, right?  So, I can say whatever I want, as long as I don't do personal attacks on any government persons, and as long as I don't flame up any illegal issues or topics, I guess I am fine.  I think that guy burning the vote slip is "not wise" and "may not have right brain functioning".   I am a professional, a non-Singaporean and wish to express some of my views towards some matters... hey, you don't like what I say, blame on those two cute chic facebook page... it all started from them, also, don't forget to blame on facebook and twitter, what a scary social media that delivers the truth (at least in my opinion) to everyone virally, and dangerously....  Oh ya... did PAP marketing team (do they have one?) really misunderstood when the MP says, please put up some Facebook Ads... Hmmmm.....

arghhhh... lastly, blame on Apple, for coming up with fantastic devices like iPhone, and iPad to read all these fantastic RSS/News real time ....

Good luck on May 7, 2011.  Make the right choice, you have your own brain, so, ask your brain what you should do.  And MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU ...

Master Yoda, are you voting too?  Can you vote?  And who you voting to?  Remember, don't let other people use Jedi mind tricks on you, voting is secret!

oh... I think Master Yoda is just like me... cannot vote in Singapore.  But at least he can light up his lightsaber.  Oh Man, got to get one of these lightsaber.  hahahahaha
