The circumstances for MYJ is very tough.1. he had to compete with a formidable party. In other countries , political competition is like a joke. almost like...

Hi,

I know who will win. dont you?

1st Malaysia Opposition has won.

Now?

Will KMT the OPPOSITION, win as well?

Is this the beginning of an era for OPPOSITIONS?

i know but i cannot tell you as I am also called a Neutralist. ;)

comments on CNA coverage:

1. initial impression : unsatisfactory . Here's why - digital video and voice signals could not be recieved clearly but poorly. This is such a basic service quality that is not up to scratch. I urge the authorities to put in more effort as sgpore's reputation is at stake. The world is watching. Not just the other issue, if you know what the... i mean.

Before the telecast, did they not test? I expect better.

they should use satellite in this day and age for clearer image and not using low resolution, low quality media to cover such important 'live' events.

I was almost about to switch off the tele and just fly there to watch for myself and be my own reporter where I provide UNBIASED, HONEST, and TRANSPARENT coverage. even tho I am a novice. its not difficult.

TW people have EYEs.

They will make right if anything was done wrong.

They are true Democrats.

They know their rights to choose their leader.

As said, even before the election began,

I already am convinced who will win.

Have a horse of a good time!

sexy girls SG

i thot u should choose ch49 TVBS-N or ch54 TVBS-ASIA for such a taiwan event?

balance_else_complacent SG

exactly!

these are truely world class, democratic channels.

I am watching them now.

Their coverage is unsurpassable.

From these TW channels,

I see why TW is the shinning star of Democracy for ASIA.

TW jia yu!

viva la democracy!

Let humanity progress!

I wait for evil to die.

Just listened the President Ma’s victory speech.

During his speech, he promised “more good years”.

He also said all will “move forward” and “no one will be left behind”.

He also promised to take care all taiwanese, inclusive of the half a million people that did not vote for him.

He is right to say that Taiwan is the most democratic country.

That is what election is about.

he also said sgpore lian jie.

....exactly like what our govt has said....but it's immaterial if DPP or KMT wins. The Taiwanese has won because it's not about democratic election only, it's a democratic nation.

indeed TW is the most democratic country in Asia. no doubt about that.

many countries are decades behind them in this respect ;)

one thing i like about TW democracy : the people who supported one party need not wait a decade for change. this is also why i think TW is great.

also, Ma promised no preferential treatment for KMT regions over DPP regions.

Taiwanese can be proud of themselves and walk talk for they are showing to the rest of the world what democracy is all about. It is about the right of citizens to take charge and change government by peaceful means. It is about citizens' right to censor government through peaceful means and particularly to prevent any accumulation of power by anyone in power.

In this sense the Taiwanese are more advanced in thinking than us Singaporeans. Every citizens must be able to voice their unhappiness with any wrongful government and make them take actions for the interest of the people.

In this way Taiwan will be able to avoid falling into the hand of any tyrants that at the end they assure themselves of justice, equity and fair play and not hypocrisy, propaganda and underhand and abuses which are far worse than corruptions itself.

Singaporeans can celebrate this event in that it also means that Singaporeans who are happy with change brought by democracy at work in Taiwan is also the same change they want when necessary and when the time comes without fear or favor.

Our TV and newspapers keep playing up footages to make a mockery of Taiwan people participating in democratic processes to protect the narrow interest of our power that be. This success in democratic change of government once again give us another opportunity to remind all citizens that Singapore belongs to all of us Singaporeans and when it is necessary they can change government and do the same without being subjected to undue pressure or hypocrisy by power that be.

KMT has won because for all its talk about democracy, the DPP has failed miserably in its handling of the economy. Once again, it's the economy, stupid!

Poh Ah Pak SG

feel sad, Singapore political situation still so autocratic and worthless.

Media still controlled, still spread state propaganda, oppressive laws still in place.

Alrdy KMT controls the Yuan, so no problem passing laws

robertteh SG

Failure to restructure the economy is a big failure of economic management.

Playing with propery and IR is the last straw taking a ride on world economy. This itself is a failure. Let there be change of government to replace all the incompetent ministers of trade and industry, minister of finance, deputy pm and all the senior civil servants who have grown too complacent like the Taiwanese have done through peaceful election including protests as necessary to register displeasure and signal to all to change.

This is their inalienable rights of citizens - to signal to fellow citizens to change government incompetent handling of economy.

Let there be no pretentions, denial and hypocrisy using political power to postpone solution to fundamental problems.

For such poor management of the economy Singaporeans deserve a change to competent government as the Taiwanese have done.

Singaporeans after tonight will learn the truth finally that democracy is good and because of democracy they have the right and ability as well to stop all the crappy denial by the power that be and ask for accountability and change.

Gordonator SG

hope all singaporeans can learn from the malaysia and taiwan elections and vote wisely in 2 more years time.

I think Ma will win by a big margin. He will steer Taiwan away from the dangerous path of pro-indepence and concentrate on the prosperity and progress of the country. I agree our past media coverage keep concentrating on the fight scenes in their parliament. At least CNA now discuss some of the issues at hand but still pale in comparison to those TW channels as mentioned above. But I think handsome Ma win most of the ladys’ votes even without speaking a word.
