PAP reigns again! again, we are back to square one. i was expecting the opposition to win at least a GRC, sweeping a couple more seats in the parliament, making chiam see thong and low thia kiang less lonely. but all the effort and money has been put to waste. i thought rather highly of slyvia lim, but .. ah well. i think we attribute this to our ageing population, where most of the 40s-50s are ultras (to put in LKY words when he described the Malay extremists in 1964-65), the super pro-PAP supporters. i can testify to this statement. my mum is one for example who loves the PAP. so i think jo's mum is so cool. maybe 20 years down the road, elections will be different. hopefully there are more opposition, and i mean opposition who are able to contest on par with PAP. and the voting power lies on our generation. by then there will probably be no more LKY, so tajong pagar... i wonder who is taking over him.
there's this gp essay question "do you think teenagers have a say for everything, but a heart for none" i'm proud to say i'm not. i wish i can vote and make some kind of impact on the elections. but i still gotta wait many many more years. and i mean MANY. h0lland-bt timah is always gonna be a walkover any time soon.
haha, tmr is the elections for the new j1s counsellors. can't wait. another exciting thing to look forward to
