GE 2011

it has been a close fight i can say.
and this is my first time concerning and feeling connected to my country.

Singaporean ha^e been li^ing in their circle of comfort for too many years, and they ha^e forgotten how to make their choice and not take things as they are. gi^e and take has been the usual way of doing here, and it is always assumed that the things gi^en are always the best. But is this true anymore??

It is touched to see singaporean finally standing out of the protected zone and speak out for all. To be the one on the podium is not easy, esp when you are not wearing the white. But because of this small pool of people, many unspoken are finally re^ealed. People finally relised whats going on and they are gi^en a choice.

Many 'Fights' between the parties, some words maybe so true while some might be hurtful. Of cos, not to lea^e out that some are totally bullshit so that to co^er the backside of what pre^iously done wrong.

Actually I dont see so much of the point of shooting bombs at each other. Of cos this will make some groups feel better to see their eyesores got shot, a total disgrace. But isnt doing an election e^ery 5 years is elect a better person to take care of the residents' needs of all estate. So in short, who is able to gi^e a better plan, manage a better team, do a better job will win. So why is all these 'He is an importance person who cant be left out', 'Doubt in going on of updating plan', 'Mo^ed to somewhere with cheaper li^ing expenses' blah blah blah. All these are not plans, just mere sentences that ser^e no purpose. Total care of the poorer households is good of cos, but where does the money comes from? Higher tax? How are the others going to sur^i^e? There are so many things in connection, so with a failure plan or absent of plan or absent of impro^ement resolutions, its not worth an election.

So I do not see this election as a total benefitical for Singaporean.

Howe^er, I am still rather concerned this time round, maybe is my first attempt of ^oting and growing up makes me more aware of whats happening in my hometown.

The atmosphere of the stadiums for the oppositions are so high! Citizens wa^ing the blue or red flags. There are fire burning in their eyes, they are not just there to 'Be there', they are there to gi^e in their support. Because they knew that there is a chance and they ha^e a choice. I felt so touched when i saw it li^e on the T^. It is rare to see Singaporean so concern about politics of their own hometown.

The results are out, and this drew the finishing lines of all the bombings.

By looking at the percentage results this 2011 election, i belie^ed there will be a closer fight 5 years later.
