Polling Day

Today is a very special day. September 11 has another meaning to it this year. It's polling day. Singaporeans will cast their votes to decide the future of our HOME.

A lot of people say that Singapore is not really a democratic country even though Singaporeans cast their own vote to choose their own government.

I don't have a lot of thoughts about politics and certainly do not wish to be involved too much.

However, I care for my country and believe that the people we choose to rule and run our country will impact me to a great extent.

Currently, PAP takes up the majority seats in our government and frankly speaking, they've done a pretty good job in keeping Singapore healthy. Of course they are not 100% perfect, people make mistakes.. Intelligent people make mistakes too. The PAP is made up of the elites of Singapore. Academically sound, established and successful people. Singaporeans tend to trust them more on being able to do a good job.

When problems occur, they scold PAP. Blame the government. I did that myself. Guilty.

This year, it's the first time in history that every constituency need to vote. Means every single Singaporean living in Singapore will need to vote. (Unless valid reasons were provided). 8am to 8pm, Singaporeans will need to cast their votes in the designated location.

We've heard a lot through the rallies. PAP and opposition parties. Some make sense, some are plain garbage. Some are very impromptu (nicely said). Actually they are unprepared. It's public speaking! I would expect some kind of quality. Some are quite disappointing. It's somehow an obvious choice.

But then again, I haven't really decided. Of course I want a good future for Singapore as a fellow Singaporean.... Let me think...
