Election Fever

With election round the corner, it seems that everyone is gearing up for the major political event of the year. Was it media which magnify the whole thing or the ground is already talking abt it? Like wat most politicians said, we leave it for the voter to decide. lol

To quote from a Straits Times blogger. I kinda of agree what he said.

They may rally behind the indignance of having to suffer crowded trains and rising home prices, but they also can objectively appreciate how far the country has come and how important a good government with a proven track record is to its continued success.

Based on previous experiences, it seems that Singaporeans will make lots of fuss before election, when D day comes, it does not translate into votes. Are pple fearful of voting or did not vote wisely? Or is it becos our culture limits ourselves to only small coffeeshop talk, then rattle about it after the process? Sad or fortunate to say, most of the time, most Singaporeans are.

I will never forget the last election. To be honest, I wasnt keen at the results at all. I spent my nite dancing away at Dbl O. It was a total waste of time. I rather spend my time constructively by dancing away my nite. Well, for a simple reason, after all that hype at rally, nothing translates into vote. Most pple hear say only. The results are still the same.

No doubt, the incumbents are doing a good job, but i hate to hear the fuss before n after election. At the point of voting, pple suddenly turned deaf n forget about wat was discussed. Mark my words, another 66.6%, if not, maybe slightly more than 60%.
