[b]i dunno if u ppls feel the same way as me. most of those ppls
who bo chap about politic one usually vote for PAP because they
felt it's a norm. every elections come, same choice vote for PAP
coz everybody is voting for them. also, by voting for PAP, they
would live their lives as before as there's no big changes in the
gov. just like 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'(dunno the real
phrase)
as for myself, since i eligible to vote, i have been casting my
vote to the opposition party. reason, because i think the
parliament need opposition voice to opposition to minister into
passing the bills without any serious challenge from the
house.
i agree with some PAP supporter arguement that SDP does indeed lack
direction and agenda convince ppl to cast the vote for them. bu
there are also some good one who we should learn to appreciate
before they become extinct from singapore such as steve chia, low
tk, chiam st. some argue about steve chia character to become NMP,
but to me a MP job is to fight for us resident and make our area
better. it is sad that his wife decided to expose his fetishes in
the press. ask ourselves, which men dont watch x rated movie and
keep copies at home.
what the opposition need to do in the next election is simple. go
to the point where it affect every singaporean.
1. foreign worker policy.
- yes we need foreign worker and talent but from where we know in
our workplace, company seem to be exploiting the situation and
abuse fellow singaporean worker into wages comparison. fair to
us?
2. CPF gradual restoration. economy has pick up for months. if we
dont increase now, wait until when we have a downturn? we should
know today economy are fragile and dynamic, where upturn could only
last for 2-4 years before we going for another downturn.
3. education.
4. transporatation cost.
5. widening gap of earning.
get the votes of the ppl who are unhappy about current system.
after you win the seats please fight for them and make your voiec
loud enough to be heard. ppl vote for opposition not to sit inside
parliament and keep quiet but to oppose policy which is not fair to
the singaporean.

Next time Mr Goh Meng Seng comes here hope he can start a new
forum to discuss all these topics. All the forumites can post their
feedback and suggestions there.
