My wishful thinking of a non partisan thread and give
a neutral view about this election.
I thought ministers who lost in the election made the
right decision not to rejoin politics. Assuming that they return to
politics thru other channel, Singaporean would be cynical
about PAP election; similarly to the opposition party that
lost.
So Singaporean must be aware that their vote does impact
Singapore there are no assumption about someone can
easily fill the shoes.
I also think Singaporean made a point to the government about
greater voices and counter balance within government.
The acknowledgement of political changes is a good start by
the government. With George Yeo added voice of changes needed
if Pap want to stay relevant.
I also thought that the public acknowledgment by
our patriach political figure helip significantly to
allow Singapore political platform to evolve. Although the
resignation maybe a small gesture but i think it lead the way for
peaceful transformation. The rest of the political evolution in
Singapore will not rest YOU - Singaporean. Hope to
see the handover is very much peaceful detachment
from the past.
So for those folks who complaint much I hope you are ready to
shoulder responsibilities.
For all the Past credit we give to the old man, and the S,
M., I think the abilities to let go is even greater.
I could think of many fail examples like the military coup in
Thailand, middle east uprising, and looking further back Tianamen
square where leadership held by old man unwilling to let go.
This changed hopefully the first step will lead to
many more changes to come.
So i think Singaporean WIN in this election.
