  Hi all,
  
  The P65 MPs have set up a blog recently to "inform" us of their daily lives. They are also learning "hip hop" in order to perform for us at the Chingay procession next year.
  
  Are you impressed by what they are doing or do you think they are putting up a facade to win your votes?
  
  Tell us what you think of them at our online poll at:

  I don't see any online poll.
  Anyway, what can we expect from people who are ushered into Parliament? They have to act according to the script of those who led them in, not the people; because the people did not elect them AS AN INDIVIDUAL. In fact some did not even need to be elected. They just walked in. And the script says, "send in the clowns.....let people laugh so that they will stop complaining".

  instead of telling us their daily lives they should find out about our daily lives, only then will they be able to empathise with us and help us find solutions.

  Haha, we are all dissenting now but who knows? It may resonate with others. Hip hop is listened to by people ranging from young teens up to 25? (The bulk i mean) Correct me if i'm outdated HAHA.
  
  So in that case, with an ageing population and rising no. of this group entering the electorate by the next 2 elections in 2011 and 2016, PAP is looking at the long haul. In that case, it could be the right strategy.
  
  After all, elections are based a lot on emotions and perceptions.

  You're wrong.
  
  It was not so long ago, our PM wanted Singaporeans to learn to speak like African Americans.
  
  And no, I am not joking.
