im so damn hyped over the general elections that i google them, read the newspaper (for once) and turn to channel news asia to get a glimpse of the GE during my short study breaks. feel so intellectual and motivated && i finally know who are my ministers! hahaha! never knew any minister except the standard 3, MM Lee Kuan Yew, SM Goh Chok Tong, and PM Lee Hsien Loong. how hopeless am i right!!

felt really enlightened by all the speech given by the opposition parties & its like the first time almost every seat is being contested (except TPG) but WOW, so exciting, dont you agree!! even my parents talk politics over dinner! hahaha + what i learn this semester about theories of communication really empowered my critical skills. and i tend to evaluate what the ministers or opposition are saying. finally, some good use of education (besides one piece of paper = certificate) hahaha!

realised that its so ironic that singaporeans complain about no transparency, PAP being not accountable or credible and yet they dont do anything about it. honestly, the only solution for that is to vote for more opposition voices to act as watchdog for the people. with more opposition in the parliament, they will be able to be a full better representation of singaporeans (think about it, do you think our ministers take public trspt and eat at local food centres? do you think they would really empathize with us?) by voting the opposition who are the true voicers and being more relatable to singaporeans will in turn solve the accountability issue. why dont singaporeans get it?

was interesting to hear the parties debate about the pay of the ministers! love that topic when they are being shot down. dont need to mention but everyone knows our ministers are highest paid in the world, and the reason is to prevent corruption so does it mean the ministers now are working for the money? shouldnt be they working for the interest of the people? doesnt it sound so conflicting? if they are really keen and motivated to represent the people, money wouldnt make a difference in them. (i.e. volunteers do their part for the better of society, do they ask for a pay?)

well, if i could vote, you'll definitely know where my vote will go to. im sure PAP will still win the majority after all our babyboomers and "foreign talents" are bound to vote for them due to conservativeness, HIGH uncertainty avoidance (Hofstede) and reciprocity. though i wished there would be some changes, our opposition parties are not yet strong to take over as government, but more opposition and public eye on the government and its policies would definitely be worth it and beneficial for the citizens of singapore, the true meaning of general elections isn it?
