hi, nice article. I especially like the last para, which to some extent is soooo true.

But perhaps you are too young to realize that, changes have come, and will continue to come, as long as there are people who desire so.

Good piece , I would like to share that we need to clearly ask ourselves ? Is the current Govt good enough to take care of Singaporeans who are in need?

Is the current govt capable of pulling us through tough times, when it’s crunch time ? or do they provide us with sugar coatings of EMPTY world class slogans that fades into ash, as the clock ticks and try to renew it with a better phase the next time round.

Many will say that nothing can be done, and there are many that say changes to improve the quality of life of Singpooreans can be made with small infant steps that will eventually lead to hugh and positive changes for the better

Heres something I would like to share with you. (read it somewhere off the web)

Watch your thoughts
The become your actions
Watch your actions
They become your habits
Watch your habits
They become your character
Watch your character
they become your destiny

The limitations and answers lies within ourselves.
Look deep within and if you should ever get a chance to vote.
Please make the right choice, and please feel free to share the TOC website with your friends and family. Let them decide and feel that theres lots that can be done for OUR Singapore

Singaporeans need to be well informed of how policy formulation and the lack of transparency can have a downhill impact on their lives.

Change for the better begins and ends with you, never with others.

what a good say..
i have the same feeling with u..

The writer of this article may be right that Singaporean is very much materials. But, in every era, we see that you only need one person to do the difference and the rest would eventually realize the truth and follow. Gandhi of India, Sun Yet Seng of China.

When it comes down to YOU AND ONLY YOU to vote as an individual, what WILL you do ??

Follow the lambs to the slaughter?

This is a sentence that not only questions the generation before us together with the present generation, but also questions the future generations to come. Can anyone be so sure today that he is able to speak for tomorrow?

I will agree with the statement insofar as the PAP govt continues with the good works shown by their predecessors, the old guards. That was a group of rulers whose primary focus was the welfare of the people.

The current PAP govt shares only one thing in common to the PAP govt of the old guards. It carries the same name but it’s vision and mission have shifted beyond what the party had originally stood for.

This LHL govt is not PAP. It is a party that disguises itself as PAP. People still think it is PAP because of the link in the LEE name. This PAP govt is the devil in disguise.

Change will come. Remember these phrase when you think all is quiet and obedient – - – Barking dogs seldom bite

What’s more if there is a figurehead who leads the way, who’s to say that he’s not the next LKY in the making? Do we want another LKY? Do we want an Obama? In pragmatic Singapore, political ideals cannot eat one. Want the public to stand up? Then hope that gahmen makes a few more wrong investments…but is Singapore ready for the consequences?

Until one has participated in a protest or represented an interest group to negotiate concessions, one would not understand the sense of humanity and rawness that is associated to the freedom of speech and the freedom of association.

It is funny how Singaporeans associated such freedoms as Western concepts. They are not Western, but fundamental to every human person. These freedoms have always been practised in Asia but nobody has ever gave a name to it. Examples of demonstrated freedom of association and freedom of speech would be the Hokkien Clan and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Singapore. The West may be more vocal about these freedoms than the East but it doesn’t mean that the East never had or practised these freedoms.
