Re: General Election ...
I suppose it will if you work on a 5 day week. But poor sods like me who work a 5.5 day week will only get the half day off as it's a work day.

Re: RE: Re: General Election ...
but in this country, those earning millions in salary to be a MP, Minister or PM - value their reputation- to be honest, see if the WP throws any wild accusations, or will they tolerate it ?Addadude wrote:Well, in most Western countries this "slandering" of government bigshots is considered perfectly normal.

When the rule says, for example, don't punch a cop, if you decide to punch a cop, and then cry the rules are not in your favor ..
Same same but a bit different !

but let's not pretend we don't know what the "game" is here. the game is getting and keeping the power in sg, in other words owning the money pipeline. punching a cop doesn't belong to this game

IMO, the election is unique in the world, to say the least.JR8 wrote:Perhaps there will be a 'wag the dog' type incident to stir the citizenry? lol...
SGn elections seem to come with a run-up of 'remember how vulnerable little 'ol SG is', 'a little fish in a huge fish-bowl', and 'don't throw away this progress that was so hard won etc'...
In most of the democracies, we often hear contending parties making rosy promises and stratosphere high projections while here, the message of pending dooms and glooms about "vulnerable little 'ol SG" is always part of story - which is a fact.

Especially when she said she will champion the transport woes, since, as an events company, they take a lot of transport !!!
Nice photo shoots she has done, if you saw her FB page !

My guess this time PAP will win more vote percentage than last time.

Like I said, its just an opinion. With an open forum like this, it isn't hard for the locals to gauge the sort of discussion that goes on "behind their back".

Also, not every contributor here are on "expat" package.
Re: General Election ...
Is the objective of the opposition parties to get the Govt out at all costs?
I have just read on the ST website that there will be no 3-way fights in the General election when it happens.
Thats not really democracy is it?
Do the opposition parties not believe in themselves enough to take on all comers, or are they just after the anti-Govt vote?
