first time voter…
Saturday, May 6th, 2006FIRST TIME VOTER!!! haha… yarh, that’s me. making history. first time being able to vote. was hoping that i could make a difference in shaping singapore’s future. i was nv interested in politics really. neither am i now. but ever since i heard mr chiam speak, i’ll always rmb his words…
"with power comes corruption, total power comes total corruption!!!"
i gave it a thought, and it does make sense actually. we certainly needed an alternative opinion in the government. not everything decided by the government is correct and is the best for the people. of course, we dun need someone in the government to oppose for the sake of opposing, but we certainly need ppl to oppose when things are not quite correct. how can we assure ourselves that those pap ppl dare to oppose the decisions made by those main ppl in the government? they are paid to work sia, they wont have the guts to oppose that much, they might get kicked to those lowly jobs… like ministry of environment and take charge of the dustbins… haha.
nevertheless, mr chiam and mr low won back their seats and they deserve it. congrats to both of them!!!
but one thing that i wont forget that happened today is when me and my dad went to vote earlier today. both of us are loyal supporters of WP. but the funny thing is that, my dad confidently placed a "tick" instead of the supposedly "cross" on his voting sheet. silly!!!!
