election time
personally, i think singaporeans as a collective are a bunch of cowards. thats right, pampered, sheltered, cowards. look around and one will see why, especially now that the supposed election fever is upon us. the ruling party has always used carrots to intimidate the people, and one could suppose thats fair game. "Vote for us and you'll be ensured your area will be next in line for upgrading projects", and other means of attempting to weigh people's votes towards them. and what can the opposition offer? nothing. it doesnt take a NASA scientist to figure out who the people will vote for. this just goes to show what a bunch a people singaporeans are, motivated by money. you think they voted because they believe in the government? they voted because upgrading their estate will raise the value of their property, thus enabling them to be able to earn a profit when they sell their property.
singaporeans have been so brainwashed by the government that they would cheer when the government says it will hand out money and bonuses whenever the country has a healthy financial year. what? whats wrong with that? call me anything you want, but after what the government leaches from you the money through rising transportation costs, unexplainable taxes, and what not, and decides to give you back a miserly small percentage of the amount, you think thats fair? face the facts, despite publicly, the transportation services are private companies, they are still owned by the government through a fake front. so despite public complaints whenever the companies raise transport fares, the government does nothing. and why should it, when it stands to profit from these fee hikes?
perhaps i'm being too harsh, so what would happen if the opposition wins anyway? the level of opposition here doesnt stand a credibility test either. its just a facade created by the government so that it appears we have some form of democracy in this country. people are afraid of joining the opposition, whereas every year, you see the ruling party unveil new and 'promising' members. you know what i mean, the lawsuits against opposition members, brankrupting them. admittedly, some of them opposition member may have guts, but are really just damn stupid.(a certain mr chee comes to mind). so the opposition here is really just a token opposition, a face provided by the ruling party so as to deflect any criticsm of its alleged democratic system.
