I also don't know why 66% of the voters supported them.
shall bring this to the front. overwhelming support for our lonely
voice in parliament on such a critical issue deserves front page
attention during this important period. this is what i've learnt
from the excellent marketing team of the govt, the media.
from what i see around me, friends & relatives, there are
mainly 2 big groups voting for them. the possibility of
identification by the serial number on the voting slip has a
huge psychological effect on one group, i suppose mainly civil
servants & special interest group. of course, there is the
diehard pap supporters group among these.
the other group is one that largely ignorant about politics
and is totally mesmerised by the marketing done by the media
& may have possibly not travelled outside of the country to do
good comparison. 'this govt is doing quite well mah' is what
i've heard frequently. seems like we got to do some marketing on
our own.
no use forcing our opinions on them, i realised, may have
opposite effect, just raise their awareness. this leaves the
rest of the 33.3% of us who on internet which they cannot
control, who are objective enough to decide what is right
or wrong
