Elections again...

The most talked topic during lunch recently was about the up coming Presidential Elections in 2 wks time..

I have neber voted b4 since turning 21 but this yr, I get to vote twice..whahahah

This is the most hotly contested PE in Singapore's history since 1991, with us hafin a choice of up to 4 candidates..

I was spoiled for choice, even more choice during GE..whhahha and yesh, in order to exercise my citizen's rights. I followed the news closely, beri closely..

But somehow, maybe becuz the GE had juz passed, I kinda feel that this PE is kinda of linked to the GE..The way the candidates campaigned, the way the critics viewed, even the commoners' idea were somehow still linked to the GE..

The reason that I cannot make up my mind on who to vote is, I am not able to see 1 candidate who can convince me that they are netural to the politics, they are either too pro-govt or anti-govt frm the way I see..Which are both not desirable..

My idea of our president should be a friendly old uncle/auntie, who can feel for the citizens and at the same time exercise his rights to check on the government when needed..Not a YES man or a NO man...The most ideal 1 is like our late president Mr Ong Teng Chong, whom I think is our best president so far..

Tat being said, he was once from our government party aso, but when he took the presidential seat, he did wat he is suppose to do although it didnt went as well as he wish...Still, I think he did his best...

With no suitable candidates, this time, I can only vote for the next best man, although I think plp think otherwise..hope for the next PE, we will be able to see some 1 more suitable...
