runaway

Yesterday was a special day for you, me and all Singaporeans.

Yesterday morning when you and me woke up we could almost feel the buzz in the air. Like some contagious energy, it lifted us into high spirits.

It was the start of the WEEKEND!

It was also polling day of Singapore.

Everywhere you turned we could see the various election posters of our beloved ministers, smiling at us, mentally willing us to vote for them.

Hilarious really.

As my house was located in Ayer-Rajah Grc, It was a walkover by mr.Tharman Shaguratnam ( i think thats how it is spelt).

But nevermind, disappointing as it is not to experience a real election, i hope next time when im 21 i can vote!

Anyway, the debate of politics have made me convinced that i am never ever cut out for work in this sector.

Its a real turnoff when you see the opposition resorting to bitching, name-calling tactics to gain popularity.


Remember in primary school? When you didn't like this guy, you would try to niao him in front of everyone. The guy would then tell the teacher and then boy oh boy you are in trouble!

Come back to politics. The opposition calls pap names, accusing them of some stuff.

The similarities are remarkable.

I read in an old article that the former president of singapore Mr. Devan Nair once accused Lee Kuan yew of resorting to the law to remove his opponents. He would sue his opponents into bankruptcy, making them inieligible for elections. In response to his comments, Mr lee sued him for defamation.

HAHA.

I think when im 21, im gonna drop a vote for the opposition.
