Given this option, i really think there is no other choice but to make PAP the minority. Granted that the opposition may not all be very experienced, but how else will they get the exposure and experience if not given the chance to demonstrate and prove their worth. In any case, it is better then "I don't know what to say"...... I am not an ingrate, i am appreciative of PAP works and contribution in the formative years of Singapore, however, it is time to move on and let other lead the way... talk about not enough talent to have 2 party...utter nonsense... if one as experience and respected as GCT resort to name calling, this has totally ruin my respect for the man. <br />Please do not spoil your vote, make the choice whatever it is, nothing can be worst then not deciding. <br />If i were anywhere in MP, Nicole is the clear choice for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405345292513335071.post-64630137090161056522011-05-05T18:37:47.245+08:002011-05-05T18:37:47.245+08:00"I am not voting on municipal lines.

His first was 2 yea...This is the PM’s 2nd election. His first was 2 years after succeeding SMGCT. He inherits the Parliament including the two most talked about minister KBW and MPT. I believe he is trying to instill his style and also slowly moving out the old guards without causing a rift within the party. I am sure he is slowly making his moves to rotate the old fogies out. Give the man some time. Getting 20 oppositions into the parliament is not going to help our causes. Please my fellow Singapore; look at the other side of the coins. WRT oppositions, I worry a little bit now that the true color is out. Nicole Seah is stirring racial emotions now even without bring a MP. She is very popular now. If she was elected, can you imagine her raising the issues of Malay rights, or demanding apologies from garment to Singh population for being 1/3 as capable in school as the Chinese? What are we going to have on our hands? I guess for voters like us, what we wanted was for the garment to listen to our woes; instead, we mistakenly believed we wanted opposition to speak up for us. In the first place did the opposition asked us what we REALLY wanted? From records, we can see that the opposition has not brought up in the parliament anything that will help make Singapore more competitive (read – not a just a happier place to live in, if I wanted happy, I go Bangkok). Even after being in the cost reduction committee in ’92, Mr. LTK didn’t make any significant contributions to the final publication. I am upset at high HDB prices too but with every foreigner buying a HDB flat, there is a Singaporean family upgrading. If flats were sold within Singaporean, I am sure my mum’s 3 rooms in Redhill wouldn’t be 190KSGD now (30K plus when my dad bought it). With every foreigner in our companies, there is a real possibility that we are more competitive with the Malaysians or Taiwanese or Koreans. OK I don’t really think EVERY single PR or FT here now is needed. And for that, the garment needs to have a look. If the Opp have a silver bullet, lets see it (or lets hear it in DETAILS first before we buy off). The truth is there is no silver bullet. PAP just likes to find the scientific way out and ignore the human factors. I can see that if PAP doesn’t quickly, by this election end introduce a platform for common and frills-free feedback (the net chat was a good start!), same time next election, it will be adios PM Lee. But it would give me time to save up to buy gold. I suspect the boatman on that last boat out to Freedom wouldn’t take the worthless Singapore Dollars. Then all of us can kiss out cheap HDB flats good-bye.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405345292513335071.post-90591352154643298772011-05-05T18:19:05.054+08:002011-05-05T18:19:05.054+08:00Ya lor, grc not so good lah, but Singapore is mult...Ya lor, grc not so good lah, but Singapore is multi-racial country mah. <br /><br />So next time, opposition parties must be smarter lah, get better candidates into the teams.
