I’m not a politics expert, and don’t have the desire to look like one. Haha, but here are some thoughts that I have about this upcoming elections. Ohwells, I guess it’s really up to each individual to vote/choose/like (whatever verb la ah,haha) whichever party, but just gotta make sure everybody has the right concept about this whole government thing?

Hmm, personally I’m quite ill-informed about all these stuff. Have been living in my own ‘stable’ world for far too long, taking everything for granted. How come we have upgrading, how come we can keep coming up with new mrt lines. I don’t even know where the money comes from, or more like, I don’t even know how the funds are being allocated to all this benefits that we get. I mean, I’m thankful for everything that the government had done for us in the past and now. I guess it’s just a phase for every country to go through, a phase to re-evaluate all our leaders and policies. This happens everywhere right? Just that now on a national level, it seems like everybody is more divided because of the extent of the potential changes.

I’m more concerned about the people. Do some aunties and uncles actually know how the government is made up? Like, what their vote can actually do? And that really, government is not equivalent to PAP? Got kinda worried when I was talking to my mom in the afternoon. I guess, to them, PAP = government. Quite true, since like they held the majority of the seats in the parliament. Tried explaining to her like the whole concept… thank God that she got it. But, is there someone to explain to all these aunties and uncles out there what this whole deal is about? That they actually have a choice? (I’m not encouraging them to vote for the opposition here)
Do they even understand what they manifestos are about? Or, do they even bother to read other parties’ manifestos?

I thank God that I’ve received education. I thank God that if I try I can actually make sense of what’s really happening around me on my own. Sorry for being so ignorant for these whole time. But I guess this is a wake up call to all those in our generations who are politically apathetic. I used to be like that, and probably still like that. All the minsters’ names are like super confusing. And all their titles are super hard to remember. But at least, I’m trying to get a better idea of what’s going on. And I hope, whichever way this GE turns out. We will still remember that we’re still one, one country, one family. Haha. Cliché max. But yeah, and that we cannot forsake unity. And this is the most important thing, even if the party that you vote for doesn’t win, we cannot give up on whatever we had and have now bah.

Cause sometimes, this look like some putting-each-other-down-show to me, and I don’t like it. the main point is still to improve our current situation, and to fight for the best for each Singaporean. Oh wells, don’t know what to say already. Let’s end off with another cliché phrase.


May the best man wins.
