Singapore Elections Thoughts Compilation 1

Been silent on both blogs for the longest time but slowly getting off my butt and inspired to write again.
Will start here by compiling some of my recent Facebook status comments on the Singapore Elections.

Singapore Election Thoughts #1.
Sometime ago my RC organised a Raymond Lim football competition. I think they would have gotten more participation if they'd had his face printed on every football.


Singapore Elections Thoughts #2:
I find it so strange that it's Vivian Balakrishnan who's making a homophobic fuss as when he first came on the scene (no pun intended!) I thought he was gay.


Singapore Elections Thoughts #3:
The Elections are bang in the middle of school exams. Seems the PAP is going to face a stern test too. What will be their grade I wonder?


Singapore Elections Thoughts #4:
Seeing as we're all expecting (even hoping for) many of the opposition to win seats, would a large PAP win therefore become the 'freak election result'?


Singapore Elections Thoughts #5:
wah, these buggers also got 'talent' what...
SDP Loves Singapore


Singapore Elections Thoughts #6:
Saw a PAP truck going around with speakers blaring and I was tempted to drive alongside sounding my car horn to drown out the cackle from their loudhailers. hmmmmm


Singapore Elections Thoughts #7:
The Worker's Party should design posters with their logo right on the bottom then place these posters just above the PAP ones so it looks like the hammer is hammering the PAP fellas... heh heh


Singapore Elections Thoughts #8:
So what the heck are you afraid of even if somehow your vote isn't secret and you vote for the opposition? It's your darn right to vote for whomever you please for goodness' sake. What could possibly happen to you? You pay higher GST? Already gonna happen, mate...


Singapore Elections Thoughts #9:
Gotta hand it to the PAP - they've done a great job screwing with everyone's minds and equating PAP = Government = Executive (Administrative) = Singapore. So many people I've heard/read confuse the roles of the Legislative and Executive branches of government and actually believe water will stop flowing from the tap if they vote in an Opposition MP. OK I exaggerate slightly...


Singapore Elections Thoughts #10:
Although not a big fan of using 'National Service' as the excuse or reason for all sorts of things, I do agree wholeheartedly that if you are old enough to serve the country, you would, by implication, be old enough to think about who you would like to lead your country.


Singapore Elections Thoughts #11:
A friend thought I am Singaporean what with my interest in the GE. Politics affects everyone personally and we have no choice but to be interested and involved. It is no different from studying for an exam, or doing research for a project, or even looking for the best Mee Siam stall - it affects you, it is your life, so find out more, get interested, and make an informed decision.


Singapore Elections Thoughts #12:
Thinking about the two incidents at PAP meet-the-people sessions. Wonder why the opposition MPs never had such incidents, especially since these opposition-held wards are supposed to be near-slums. Could it be perhaps these MPs are more engaging with their constituents? Just wondering...
