Actually, I like Sylvia Lim of the WP too. But other than that, I can't think of anyone else besides her, Chiam S T and Low T K who deserve to win.

i hope one day that happens to temasek..then they really jialat..Originally posted by the Bear:without the foresight... blah blah..
the country is much greater than a mere party, mere loyalty to a political party, mere personal gratitude to a man...
he has had his time... now, he's more a liability than an asset to THE COUNTRY...
he has built around him, a bunch of sycophants who all think that the party must come before the country... that includes his accursed son.. who has gone on national tv to say that he'll actually spend more time "fixing" the opposition if they were in parliament than he would running the country...
would you vote for people like that?
they WILL be the gabrament no matter.. they already have the biggest bloc no matter what happens...
however, who will be there to keep them honest?
if there are no checks and balances, NKF and TT Durai happens...

Well, he had lots of help but got most of the credit for himself.Originally posted by breytonhartge:actually without the foresight of a certain someone, Singapore would not be as progressive as we are today, admittedly, some of the PAP's policies are not the best and they have made mistakes, but when you live O/S for a long time and see how badly the other governments do and how they mishandle all your hardearned tax money and how much you get taxed... you realise that the infrastructure in Singapore is pretty good and that as Singaporean citizens, you have it quite cushy compared to most places...
I used to be very anti PAP when I was younger, but i see things differently now.
Still, from what I can see, read about, hear from overseas friends, I'd take the Lee dynasty over the current Bush dynasty any day of the week and twice on Sundays. That doesn't mean I'm not going to harp on the ruling party though. i find that as I get older, I find more and more things to complain about the ruling party. -
Nee Soon Central goes to the PAP!

Nee Soon Central falls to the PAP!

but look at the quality of the opposition, when the opposition can throw up something more formidable and more credible, then maybe we have something to decide on.Originally posted by the Bear:without the foresight... blah blah..

something i don't get in singapore..
the union is in bed with the management -
actually nkf not the only one..the organization known as world vision who is in charge of the tsunami has 32 directors..
and the director fees are wow..i cannot reveal anymore.. -
Yeah... we don't have much of a choice right now, as it stands. THe opposition really needs to spruce themselves up if they are to come close to being truly formidable opponents.Originally posted by breytonhartge:but look at the quality of the opposition, when the opposition can throw up something more formidable and more credible, then maybe we have something to decide on.

there are some
and there are the clowns like the barely-sentient and semi-retarded morons in the SDP..
they're the big losers as they seem to be losing with bigger margins than last time.. every other opposition fella (who are getting their acts together under the SDA and WP) seems to be gaining ground...Originally posted by breytonhartge:but look at the quality of the opposition, when the opposition can throw up something more formidable and more credible, then maybe we have something to decide on.

Well, with the exception of the SDP, overall the opposition this time round is of a far better quality. If they keep this up its going to be interesting at future GEs. Mr Chiam, especially REALLY needs to work on getting some new blood to replace him in Potong Pasir.Originally posted by Rhonda:Yeah... we don't have much of a choice right now, as it stands.
