I have one uncomfortable question - IS PAP ABSOLUTE POWER GOOD FOR SINGAPORE ?
Are we treating this election a game ?? No one in the right frame of mind would do that and disagree that we have come a long way to build this nation. So is the constructive opposition trying to tear down and ruin this country we call our home? All we want is to have a more robust debate from a constructive party that will held our policy maker in check and be accountable ...is that something wrong ?
Look at the workers party candidates, young and promising in their own right, so one must really ask why must they risk their bright future to step up and stand for election? If they have wanted a smooth political cum material rewards they would have taken the easier route to join the PAP...why aren't they? Furthermore they aren't like many of you whom already have an established career, a stable family and have made it in life...so why are we seeing all these bright ang young singaporeans willing to sacrifice themselves for the betterment of our political future ? Let me tell you that IT'S BECOZ THEY LOVE THIS COUNTRY, just like many of you do !
They see an injustice political system that has oredi so deeply estranged into our lives that makes many of us to believe that the PAP is the only solution to all the challenges we faced. But is that really the case?
Do you know about the various upgrading funds are not approved by the pap if you don't vote for them? This is an utter selfish and dirty act from the government that try to decimate the alternative voice. Is there any justice and equality ?
Seriously, if not for the pressure from the people through the voting in of a credible party like Workers Party, you think they would response and improve the various social security networks we are seeing now? NO WAY my dear fellow citizens. By giving them PAP the strong mandate it's as good as telling them we agree totally with what they think is good.
Look, I am not those extreme opposition that is non rational, but there's gotta be a check and balance. Do you know about the various upgrading funds are not approved by the pap if you don't vote for them? This is a selfish act from the government that try to decimate the alternative voice. Is this what you wanna see ? Is there any justice and equality like what we pledged since young till now ?
So come sept 11, vote wisely...empower your future!
