Polling day

This Saturday is Polling Day. So who will you vote for? Luckily for me, i don't have to vote. And so are the people of West Coast GRC, Jurong GRC and Hong Kah GRC. Looking at how things are shaping up, the opposition looks to be in this with a fight. But then again, the same thing was said last time but in the end, the PAP still won it, convincingly. This time, could it turn out to be different? 7 April was Nomination Day. Seven GRCs were uncontested, giving the People's Action Party 37 seats in Parliament. This meant that the PAP was not returned to power on Nomination Day. All nine contested SMCs are seeing straight fights as are the GRCs. So, what does this mean? Nothing much really. The PAP just needs a few more seats to form the government again. I got nothing against the PAP. In fact, i'm glad they were and are the government. Because of the them, we are where we are right now. But a few opposition in the parliament would not do any harm now would it? Some of the issues raised by the opposition are good ones where the government(or the PAP) should sit down and ponder about it. But some issues, like the upgrading of HDB flats and lifts are not that important per say. These upgradings are what the government must or should do. We don't have to ask for it to get it. And you know what, we even have to pay for it. In which the opposition said that the people should not pay for the upgrading which is true lar. Last night, i was watching Channelnews asia, and they showed some of the speakers from last night rallies. I must say that i'm disappointed with some of the speakers from the opposition. They can't speak well. And when you compare them to some of the PAP speakers, there is just no comparison. The PAP members can speak well and emphasize their point. I'm not saying that all the opposition can't speak well because some of them can really speak. But for the opposition to move on to the next level, they need good speakers and one who can move the people. So, i'm calling all voters to vote for who you think will bring a brighter future for you, me and everyone else.
