Opps..seems like I made a mistake, it shd be NSP contesting in my area instead of SPP..NSP is the party where Nicole Seah is from, the girl who is drawing becoming a big sensation among the young community..Juz watched a video on her last nite speech during NSP rally.. I am pretty impressed by her confidence as she speak I muz say..In my humble opinion, she speaks better than Tin Pei Ling..
On the other hand, I had received my polling card last nite when I came back frm Msia..Woo..1st polling card of my life..The fight between the parties had began, with all the posters from both side are fully decked out along the road on the lamp post...
Vans with those loud speakers promoting their own party also made round in the neighbour hood..To be frank it felt good to soak in this kind of atmosphere..This, will make PAP sit up straight and listen to us, hopefully when they are able to win this coming election as a ruling party, they will reflect on what they have been doing and listen to the commoners' woes..
Personally, I feel connected on what the various opposition parties raised as the issues of the government. Yet, PAP seems to be findin excuses when these issues are raised, instead of reflecting them..This to me is called 执迷不悟, dun wait till u lost more than wat u expect den u start to reflect..U will need the next 5 yrs to regret...
1 thing cannot be denied, PAP is a good ruling party, for so many yrs, Singapore had progressed well..But, as we progressed, as we lend the support to them, it makes them forget their roots..especially the younger generation leaders, it makes them take our support for granted.It makes them forget bout the people's well being..I dun doubt they really wanna make our country a even better econmony, a better place for foreign investors, a stronger country. But during the course, they did sacrifice the citizen's rights didnt they?
Take FT for example, it is argued that we need this people to come so as to make us a more competitive country, fill up the space of the jobs the local dun wan or not qualified to do..Yesh, I agree, but do u need to allow SO MANY of them to come or not??We are over crowded now!!I dun even feel like visiting the malls nowadays becuz of the crowd..Taking public transport had become a nightmare to me, not to mention I need to take it everyday to n fro work...
I have ex colleagues from our neighbouring country coming here to work as the same position as me, tellin me, they are onli interested to come here n work n earn our money and ultimately they will retired and go bak to their country when they earned enuff to buy a big hse, car or other assets there for them to njoy their old days..These, are the same plp who took up space for positions I am working in, the very positions which can be offered to locals who will earn their living and lived in Singapore forever..Who dun have any other place to go after they retired, who had to deal with the high living costs here and yet have the competition from these counterparts and sometimes lost to them as they are willing to recevie a lower pay as when they exchanged back to their currency, its enuff for them to cover their expenses...
It irks me every time when I hear these people telling me this, I onli come to your country to earn money den I will go home..Den dun come in the 1st place, you are depriving my peers in landing on the job, depriving us from earnin a better pay juz becuz u are willing to accept a lower pay as ur currency is so damn lower as compared to mine..On top of that, they will criticized every other thing about Singapore..The high cost of living, how the food here tastes so badly as compared to their country..How rude the plp are, how squeezy our public transport are, how arrogant our plp are as we are a english speaking country, think we are 1st class citizen (which we are!!)blah blah blah...So unhappie, den go back to ur country and work there and all these problems will be gone for you n me...
You see, our government didnt realised this, the FT they had allowed to come here are having these kind of tots..They are sitting in their own office dreaming of how to make Singapore to top more charts while we are working side by side with these FT and had to put up with these kind of remarks which makes me wanna kick them bak to their countries on the spot..Not onli I have these encounters, many of my fwens shared with me similar stories..
In this coming elections, when the opposition bring up issue of the FT, the government try means and ways to find excuses for their decision.Yet, they do not realise they will push the voters more towards the opposition as many of us have the above mentioned encounters..They shd instead, be thinking of how to solve this problems..I am still feeling neutral on how to cast my vote, but seriously I would lend my support to which ever party who can addressed this issue more closely to my heart..This problem, must be solved else, we as Singaporeans will suffer the consequences of it..
