Its GE time!

I've never been interested in politics, nor I am supporter of any political parties, but GE 2011 turned out to be one interesting event that's talk of not just the town, but the entire nation, from 5 year olds like Ee, who's excited to see his school crest (the PAP sign because he's in PCF) to the elderly folks who packed the hawker centres just to see the party members walking around. The real excitement is the presence of so many opposition parties this time round contesting the PAP. The new generation is looking for a change, looking for better future with higher expectations and higher grounds to conquer, and the opposition parties are the new voices of the new generation, transpiring new hopes and new directions that the new generation wants to go.


PAP is great. PAP had brought us from nothing, to a world class developed country and helped us to achieve what we have today. But maybe things have changed. What we needed then was different. We have a lot now but we are looking for more. Maybe there's the bridge that is broken. They've build our homeland and is using the same strategies and method to help the new generation, but is that what the new generation wants? Maybe they need to listen more.


Now that the chance has come for us to cast our votes for our future, we have to be objective and realistic. Where will this lead? It's going to be an interesting 2 weeks leading up to voting day. I cannot imagine what will happen in this 2 weeks and what the outcome will be. Personally, no matter what the outcome will be, I salute our leaders for the sacrifice they have made for us to achieve what we have today, and hope the new leaders will lead us ahead and build a better tomorrow.
