Icedbs Turbocharged May 6, 2011 Share May 6, 2011 (edited) you know this is a global issue that no one have a solution for? if you dont know, then good luck to you, no matter how many government you change also face the same problem. Sorry, I don't buy that reason. If you tell me climate change, natural disaster, global financal meltdwon is a global issue,. I will buy that. But when our people especially the low wage earners are finding it difficult in their daily lives, that to me is a created issue, not global issue. But assuming you are right that this is a global issue that they cannot solve, then why are they taking such salary?

Tigerwoods Turbocharged May 6, 2011 Share May 6, 2011 then you will be disappointed, cause no one can achieve it. I like the Catch Phrase of Lush 99.5. Saving the World, 1 Song at a Time. Well I hope with more voices in Parly to constitutionalise a law to help poor people live a dignified yet simple life. My vote will Saving the Poor, 1 Law for all Times.

SimonTan 2nd Gear May 6, 2011 Share May 6, 2011 Voting is secret...and some say sacred. So those hearsay and loose talk are just Loose Talk Kok! How many so called friends really say the truth anyway? People can drinks and smoke and fark everyone and fark old man......but thats just chit-chat bravado mentality. Come tomorrow....the typical kiasee kiasu will do the correct thing to protect their HDB value and national progress! "I've chatted with 20 people over the last 2 weeks at work, at parent's place, with friends over email/chat... I only recall 1 person who said, "he's not too sure who to vote because PAP seems to promise better future for his kids".. Another auntie said : "All my co-workers said they will not vote for PAP this time" My friend said : "My family and I will all vote for WP"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when our people especially the low wage earners are finding it difficult in their daily lives, that to me is a created issue, not global issue. then obviously you think you are living in a perfect world. income disparity is a issue that will always be around and it will be getting wider since ancient time. need no common sense to know that. if you are the boss, you want to have max profit and pay minum wages. if someone can earn you more, you try to squeeze them more and give them as little increment as possible as long as they stay. as long as this type of situation is around, you will always see income disparity.

Tonyng 4th Gear May 6, 2011 Share May 6, 2011 no i vote for PAP because the Opposition in my area CMI. I know your point. Take a step back and ask yourself how this arose. GRC system made me need to choose between a package and not the person I hope to represent me. Example, I like Nicole Seah but I dont like TPL but team TPL is stronger and other concerns that tilt the playing field. For this, I can only say as a voter, I am torn BUT I know even if TPL wins, the margins will tell PAP to be on their toes next 5 years. Freak result if everybody thinks like me? Come on, you and I know the truth. Please note that I have left out carrot considerations in this thought process. And I think I voted well and tomorrow night, I hope the result is what I want.

Joseph22 Turbocharged May 6, 2011 Share May 6, 2011 For your case is sad. that is why i dont agree with GRC. Anyway my area is SMC easier to decide. Amy Kor Vs Steve Chia. I know your point.

Civic2000 Supercharged May 6, 2011 Share May 6, 2011 (edited) If this election result is another clean sweep for P@P despite the opposition parties fielding some highly qualify and credible candidates, then it clearly shows that people of Singapore do not wish to have any opposition in the Parliament. This being the case, why waste time and money having GE every 5 years? Why not just scrap the GE, either by way of constitution amendment or referendum and let the P@P rules this country forever like the Communist Party of PRC.

PAP did not force these people to vote with a gun to their head. They may convince and sway them, but ultimately we all have a freedom of choice. If this election PAP still maintain majority vote, 60+%, it shows that the people of Singapore has spoken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
