In the words of typical Singaporeans:

SORRY NO CURE LAH, LEE HSIEN LOONG/GEORGE YEO. Too little, too late. I don't see sincerity. I see a last-ditch, desperate effort to win votes in the face of impending defeat (fingers crossed). If it hadn't been for the opposition, would you have realised your mistakes and "apologized"? And it took you this long, with that much money, to realise that oh the ways we do things may not be the best? Jesus, save me the crying and and whining. It's seriously too late to apologize. Just look at your track record of listening.

And to those stubborn blind supporters (ie my dad), do you have any other arguments for them besides "look at what they have done for Singapore!" and "be grateful you ingrates!" (lol stfu xiaxue you're such an embarrassment)? Sure we have one of the highest GDP growth (or whatever) in the world, but we also happen to have the greatest income gap between the rich and the poor. Least corrupt country? Of course the government isn't corrupt when it's TELLING YOU TO YOUR FACE THAT HE'S TAKING MONEY FROM YOU, and instead of standing up to that we just nod meekly and accept it as it is. We're not preventing corruption - we are legitimizing corruption.

Throughout this entire campaign, they have shown, in absolutely no way, that they are planning on making any changes (except the last minute begging - or apologizing as they call it). Do you really want a government like that? The PAP of today is no longer the PAP of yesteryear, where the ministers actually served the people, with a much lower pay. Don't give me shit about how a high income is essential to attract people of quality from the private sector. How then, do you explain people like Tin Pei Ling (quality eh? Excuse me while I snort in you general direction), and Chen Show Mao (who's given up his high-paying job to join the opposition? Monetary incentives? I think not)
?

It enrages me to no end that people like the former are probably going to waltz into the parliament come 8th May just because she's riding on the coattails on the former PM's GRC, while the latter have to fight tooth and nail just to convince people to give them a shot. Why should we have to condone mediocrity? You promised the best with the high pay that came along with it - people of TPL quality in the parliament is LAUGHABLE and it makes a mockery out of the entire governing body. And you say how we should give her a chance (even to the extent of creating a "buddy system", in of all places, MY GRC. FUCK YOU), well then why not give the opposition a chance instead? Especially when they come as qualified as CSM and LTK?


To be honest, I am tired of all these. If after all that's been said and done, and Singaporeans still think we can depend on the incumbent, with absolutely no opposing views to bring us forwards to a better future, then I say you people deserve this government, excuse me while I migrate.

And dear people of Marine Parade, just think of this - every vote you put forth for PAP means a vote for Tin Pei Ling as much as it is a vote for SM Goh, and a vote for her means you are pushing her one more step into the cushy MP job that pays her $15,000 a month in which she has already stated she'd try to help you - BUT ONLY IF SHE HAS THE TIME!

Think about that when you go to the polls tomorrow.

I am not anti-PAP as much as I am pro-change.
