so the elections have ended. back when i was in ns i did a little bit of work in choosing suitable locations to hold the polling stations. inane stuff, but little did i know that this election, my first, would be such a big thing.

for one, i never knew singaporeans to be interested in politics, which still holds true now, because posting a bunch of crap on fb and attending rallies every 5 years doesn't really mean anything.

so anyway i saw that a lot of people were saying FUGGG the PAP they SUXXX etc which lead me to believe that they don't know shit, because obviously the PAP has been doing rather well or else we wouldn't be where we are now.

besides, the other parties aren't exactly top quality at this point, which further proves that these people don't know shit. if the PAP goes down, who the hell is gonna take over?

all that being said, i don't really care who they vote for, as long as they have a good reason behind it (no, PAP SUXXX is not a good reason).

as for me, i think that what the PAP is doing now was the right thing to do maybe 20 years ago. its power mongering tactics are not sustainable in the long run. when the day finally comes where they fall out of favour with the entire nation, there has so be people who are good enough to step up and take over.

controlling all the power leaves little developmental opportunities for the alternative parties and if they have to step up, they won't be good enough, just as they are now.
