first of all, let me declare i'm not pro-PAP nor
pro-opposition... i believe that democracy can be achieve in
Singapore but some concerns need to be addressed first. i do not
believe that one party is safe for a country, i believe that having
some opposition to check the power of the ruling party is essential
and utmost required so as to prevent power corruption (absolute
power corrupts) the current government realised that the new age
Singaporean will not and does not kowtow to them. as we are more
educated now and world news more accessible by the general public
(CNN, Bloomberg can be viewed on Starhub) we can see and judge for
ourselves what is right and what is wrong... Singapore is not
perfect but hey, it's still home and we as the next generation are
holding our own fates in our own hands.
now my concerns and " complains";
we voted the opposition into parliment on the last election. an
epic victory in Aljunied GRC and Hougang... Workers' Party has made
history in our political system and hey, i was quite satisfied that
at last, we can be heading towards a more, "people people"
Singapore by checking the PAP's power and rebutt their policies if
it seems unfair to us Singaporeans but... (Workers' Party, i hope
you are listening)
what the heck have you guys been doing since you got voted into
Parliment? Hello, wake up, wake up... we are paying you tens of
thousands of dollars a month to think of our benefits, to help ease
our concerns due to rising cost and world's economy and to question
what is worth questioning in regards to our ruling party's
policies. but what have you guys been doing?
first, one of you go and have affair, refused to own up and got
sacked... now whereabouts unknown. then the Hougang election so
much drama... from the "i didn't take part in the internal vote"
and change to, ""oh, i didn't have time to inform them to strike my
name off in the internal voting"... a honourable man think first
and speak after he has gathered his thoughts... you don't just
shoot off our mouth and retract that later... no problem, you still
won the seat which is predicted. Hougang residents see the flag not
the candidate... i'm also glad that you guys won the seat to be
honest... curb the power of Pay And Pay... remove ERPs, alter
COE... hey it's ridiculous right? 600+ a month just to pay for
COE... haven't include car loan yet... plus 300 for petrol, 100+
for insurance and then plus road tax... wah... really cannot
swallow...
but what do you guys do with all our tax payers money?

you went to ask is there any inequitability of the legal
system... put it bluntly, hello! you guys are really free huh? this
case has been closed for so long and you want to dig it up again?
Politics is politics... judiciary is judiciary...don't mix it up...
i mean do your homework properly lah. when citing previous cases,
the offender received similar punishments so as a former lecturer
in Temasek Polytechnic, you should have prepared all these before
shooting your mouth off... again, is this issue of great
importance? questioning the judiciary system in respect of a
traffic offence is not of utmost importance for us Singaporeans
now.
my sister in law just graduated from SIM-University of London
with 1st Class honours in Accounting and Finance and she can't find
jobs yet... my own Poly classmates graduated with a 2nd class
honours also can't job yet until he's thinking of joining property.
Aren't these more crucial than a traffic offence? who is bothered?
i don't really care if Woffles Wu would be hanged for asking
someone else take the rap but i care if we can put bread on the
table now since US has drought, food prices will soar and recently,
petrol prices went up again.
these are more pressing issues so i urge you dear Oppositions;
don't take our money and start buying Kate Spade, don't start
having affairs with our money... take our money and think how to
make our lives a little better, a little less stress and a little
more liveable. in the long run, your children will benefit too
