when you check the election website for correct particulars, i notice there is a serial no.
Is it mean that they can know who you voted?

The PAP government would delay for as long as they can because whether they hold it within these few months, or near the expiry of their current term, a sizeable of PAP is going to be voted out.

They PAP ministers would not want to take the risk of their going to be voted out because it would mean a huge lost in income. Remember, they are in it for the huge salary.

If GE is held in June 2009 then term ends in 2014. But if opening of parliament is delayed after GE for 6 months then term ends in 2015. Delays happened before. The most recent is after the 2006 GE. This is another PAP’s tactic to extend their 5-year term when it suits them.

If the govt calls a snap election this year, does that mean the new mandate will be with effect from 2009, i.e. until 2014 and not 5 years from 2012 (which is when their current term ends)? Anybody knows?

“Bloody hell, they might even lose the GRC that has that worker dormitory!”
……………………………………………………………

Serangoon Garden, a safe PAP ward, was switched to Aljunied GRC to deny WP a chance to win that shaky GRC while Braddell Heights which almost lost to the SDP when it was led by CST was incorporated into Marine Parade GRC under SM. SG will most likely be moved back to Marine Parade GRC in the next GE.
The PAP is smarter than you.

The picture is fair. PAP is the best scorer in the election followed by WP. One big picture of PAP and smaller picture of WP is fair and reflects reality.

Having an election this year would be like aiming a gun at your foot and actually firing it off! I don’t think the ruling party is that daft to do something so blatantly suicidal. The people are upset and angry after all the bad news, and if the GE was held today, they’re going to get their arses flogged without mercy by the electorate. Bloody hell, they might even lose the GRC that has that worker dormitory!

Traditionally, most GEs were held during “raining season” ( here is SG it means more raining days ) :D
….so that public have to stand in the muddy football field if they choose to go and listen the speeches of Opposition Parties. But for those who support PAP , no need to go to that places and just stay home , drink coke , eat popcorn and watch CNA which will cover the full story of PAP rally. :))))

I know why. It will be very hard if not impossible to change mindsets.
I asked an apathetic person why he is like that.
He said, they just don’t want to talk , think or be involved in political discussion. They just dont want, like or prefer or choose to.

I attribute apatheticism (spelling) to this kind of mentality.
Nothing wrong. A person should have the freedom to choose.
They choose to remain apathetic because they simple do not like anything to do with it.

Overseas, people in general are less like this.

I attribute this to the age of a nation. Although TW is not that old also.

Unbeknownst to apatheticos, you have a duty to be involved as a democratic citizen. In this respect, many of these have failed in their duty. They also have not fully understood that a system does not run on its own. they also do not understand that being indifferent to social issues is anti-social in a way for ignoring the plight of the less fortunate, or disadvantaged in society. These need a voice.

So, time will change. But not anytime soon. :(

Question:

why there is one group of citizens who always support oneside and not the other?

why the majority cannot be reached or could not come to the same conclusion?

thus question decides the outcome.
