Versatile 1st Gear May 5, 2011 Share May 5, 2011 Dear MCF-ers, Please allow me to share and rant about how why we should not vote for the PAP. As resident of Sembawang and a 1st time vote but electoral to vote for Nee Soon GRC, my family and i did not receive the voting letter as on 4th May 2011. When my mum called and asked, we were told by the "RC" that they have misplaced our voting letters and eventually DID NOT managed to send to our mailbox. We were also told to SELF COLLECT our voting letter from Canberra RC instead of them sending it to us knowing the fact that it is their OWN negligence. If the government says that voting is compulsory, why isn't any actions been taken by ensuring citizen's did received the voting letter? If voting letter is not received by citizens, does that means that the electoral area, "Nee Soon GRC" will be lacking of 1 vote if that vote is meant for the opposition? Do note that i have 5 family members including me which is equal to 5 votes. Why isn't the Government ensuring all citizen that has been registered to vote did received the letter? Every votes counts and i wouldn't want to see invaild votes just because of Government carelessness and negligence. No apologises were made by the RC neither the relevant departments. I'm disappointed by how the PAP/Government work for this Election. And my mind is clear, i know where my vote will goes to for GE2011. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatile 1st Gear May 5, 2011 Author Share May 5, 2011 (edited) I think everyone is eager to vote this time. No voting card also very angry, as that 5 votes can swing the outcome!? Hi Simon, i'm not angry. But as a 1st time voter, i'm very concern and at the same time excited at the outcome for the next 5 years of OUR future. You might have past your golden year but as a Gen-Y voter, it does concern and matters to me. And yes, 5 votes might not be a HUGE different of the outcome BUT every VOTE counts.

Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear May 5, 2011 Share May 5, 2011 (edited) I am not surprised that is the reason the letters were misplaced. I encounter the reverse issue: there is a phantom name behind mine on the same POLL CARD (foreign talent?). How a stranger name can appear with my address on this same poll card?
