elections.elections

PAP won. again. 82 vs 2.
is anyone surprised? no..

it's weird how i'm extra concerned about this GE even though i'm overseas and my GRC is not contested.. well, it hasn't been contested for the past dunno how many GEs.. let's face it, it's led by LKY so who's gonna contest it?

maybe it's because of the fact that i'm away
maybe it's because i've grown less apathetic and ignorant
maybe turning 21 has got some effect

politics is a big thing in taiwan.. the green and the blue.. u see political news surfacing almost daily..
singapore's political scene only becomes active come GE..

singaporeans resent not having strong opposition, an alternative voice
taiwanese dun understand why we are not satisfied with a 'good and capable' gahmen.. parliament without frequent insignificant squabbles and having to spend time and money dealing with opposition

the grass is always greener on the other side...

i guess we wouldn't want taiwanese kind of politics. it's yet another end of the spectrum. hoho.
