thinkloud2004 SG Glad to be back in Sg again. Just feel like writing and complete the story This was the question : << This is the Year of Election - for many countries in Asia as well as the USA. Here is a question for you to ponder over. Please read carefully and give an honest answer. Election is a damn serious business so please convince yourself before giving your answer. THREE potential candidates are vying for a top post in a certain country. Here are their credentials. Candidate A - He associates with crooked politicians and consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses and spews foul languages. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day. Candidate B - He was kicked out of office twice during his adult working life, doped opium in college, frequently sleeps till noon time and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening. Candidate C - He is a decorated war hero having risen from the rank and file. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife. Which one of these candidates would be your FIRST choice? >> ====== And the answer - One behaves like Franklin D Roosevelt, one has had a life experience like Winston Churchill and one thinks he is as noble as Adolph Hilter once was. No prize for guessing correct who is who. Anyway the moral of the story is --- human is human. Nobody can claim himself to be pure and perfect - particularly politicians. However, when it comes to the crunch, the heart and the mind will be tested and tell. And history will be the best judge. Hopefully we don't need that kind of a test.
the Bear SG you gotta be an MP before you can be a minister you gotta be a minister before you can be a prime minister and you gotta be a prime minister before you can be senile.. uhh senior minister
ryangian SG Looks like all the opposition party have all gone into hiding or have chose to shut their trap....... Election nowadays in sg is more like a way to ask more things from the garmen, to make sure that they are working and not saying things like no budget
spyder SG my area got chance to fight, but they cut up the big pie into many smaller pieces and award them as other area... my area is under workers party... so i donno when the election comes, will the pie be cut up even further... you guys should check out how big is hougang and how miserable hougang is being cut up and awarded to other areas... absolutely unfair... thats why i am proposing to remove all opposition party so we dont have to waste so much resources and time just to vote for something when we know whats the outcome... remember the promises people, when we last voted, how many were made and how many were fulfilled... just my 2 cents worth....
euphratis SG DOES NOT MATTER.....NO MATTER HOW MANY CANDIDATES OPP THROWS......PAP WILL BE ABLE TO SHIFT THE BOUNDARIES TO THEIR ADVANTAGE...... WHO KNOW, SEMBAWANG WILL SOON BE UNDER MARINE PARADE GRC (CONNECTED BY SEMBWANG SEA STRAITS) AND POTONG PASIR WILL LINK TO HOUGANG BY MEANS OF THE EASTERN MRT LINE..
ryangian SG And we will just blindly accept it as the garmen has brided us with the ERS and the NSS......
euphratis SG Are you game enough of strikes or protest? Remember what those protestors during GULF WAR? Next thing you know you will be label as terrorist & throw into jail w/o a trial.... But my believes is that many spore are on strike in other forms...like migrating or even to restore to obtaining overseas post to escape.
laurence82 SG Jewel in Tanjong pagar? Anyway, been living in JE for many years...dont remember my parents vote too... It becomes funnier and funnier each election, effectively the gahmen is putting it self in power...time and time again, covertly......that most people either didnt notice or dont bother as they focus more on career and self, before anything else.
euphratis SG like i said, is there an alternative? migrate is better than protest but sadly only few can afford. gahma is also smart to lock many spore to their work. u protest, u r out of work. no $ to pay yr house. Tis the trick to 100% home ownership scheme. just throw some distruction like COE, CONDO, TOTO, 4-D & ETC... life will go on....
