during these 9days of elections
I cried for my country
I worried about what my kids were going to grow up into
today I am proud of my country
we have shown the pap we are beyond their racialised politics
we care about more than jobs
we care about clean politics. we are against bullying.
we care about climate change and becoming a fair society
we voted in tharman highest among pap
we voted in 10 wp. led by pritam singh.
aljunied had 3 minority voices.
still they won. people voted the best. not based on race.
we were wowed by pritam's leadership.
they tried their smear campaigns against pritam thru alfian. and with Raeesah. it all backfired. they did good for them as it showed them to be the better people and pap to be empty vessels making a lot of useless threatening noise.
seriously. how can they defend heng swee keat and dr wu's comments and go after raeesah? blogger xuexia or something too..
they threaten free speech thru pofma
would have loved to see paul tambayah and tan cheng bok in parliament too.
but now we have pritam , sylvia, jamus, raeesah, among others.
we have professors, lawyers, army people
I look forward to the day we have teachers nurses and writers in there too
in recent years, some rubbish pap has done
1. pofma
2. presidential elections
3. ncmp scheme
4. non indian pm
5. their "oneself check ownself" practices
lots is made about how young voters are not swayed by pap. this may be true but it's not only the young. older voters like my parents and seetha Aunty all also voted opposition. in my parents case for the very first time. because they know the pap of today is different from the past when lky was at the helm
they dont like the bullying. they especially dont like the husband and wife teams and brothers and uncles and cousins teams in the pap. the lack of accountability. my dad is an accountant. this grates on him.
they also thought giving all that money would sway us. we appreciate the money. but we listened too when opposition said they were but giving us our own money back.
they start behaving like dirty politicians then their income should also reflect it. the 1 million dollar salary for the pm is just too much
rather than preventing those in power from turning to corruption it may rather tempt people into politics for the wrong reasons. super high salary. ride in on coattails of senior ministers.
had tea with ny dad today. he really moved me with what he said
I am a very huge pap supporter. but at the ballot table I had to think hard. do I vote for pap or Singapore.?
I love my dad
he also shared that the provision store holder in his office building. he may be alive if he hadn't followed Gov advice. that is sad. because he was a devoted follower of the pap.
my dad is happy he made the change. that he too voted in the opposition. because of his love for the country and the quality of the opposition. a lawyer an activist an economist and accountant. these are credible people.
I owe a lot to sudhir too . his show made so much sense. I sent that to my mum..they forwarded it to seetha Aunty. not sure how they voted but still.
change is in the air. love of nation is in the air.
feels good.
well. sg wants to move past the race card. am so happy. looks like pap stuck in some old mode. forgot to reinvent themselves. the new cadre believe in fear mongering. they've made moe a more scary place to work in than previous education ministers.
