Warning: This post is aboslutely distorted, and it's just an expression of how I'm feeling.

If you have anything to argue with me, don't comment. Because whether you're right or not, i will just deem you as an ignorant prick (even tho i may be the one who is ignorant) who doesn't understand what our generation has to go through. So spare yourself the insult, and save me my time.

The rich people in our society has enough money not to depend on the government. The poor people receive subsidies from the government. The middle-class has nothing, and gets nothing. We are the new poor.

The ruling party has held on to its position for too long. They're getting complacent. They're slacking. We need more opposition to make them work harder. They must wake up.

I do not believe that corruption doesn't exist. A friend of mine went to a talk by the GRC he is under last year and the member who spoke to him, told him that as long as he joins them, parking = free! want to get a flat here through balloting? No problem!! "As long as you join us, we can give you all that u want!" That, to me, is bribery.

NKF = no news. No news is not the important point here, the important point is, WHY NO NEWS??

A lot of newbies in the opposition parties are young people. They are passionate. They live in 4-room or 5-room flats. Just like many of us. Unlike those with the ruling government. They understand what we, as the new poor, are going through. They want to show the ruling government that they mean business. They want to let the ruling government know what we, in our twenties, have to go through. If we, as the young people, do not show them our support, who will?

World-class government : Our ministers are getting world class pay. Our MPs are getting world-class pay. Our flats are world-class prices. Our transport costs are joining the world-class level. BUT, OUR PAY REMAIN THAT OF THE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES. okay, maybe i'm exaggerating, but we're definitely not getting world-class pay even though we have to pay our ministers world-class pay and fulfill basic needs with world-class prices.

Our PM said that Singapore is doing better this year. Much better. Then explain the CPF contribution from employers. The 7% that they took away from us.

I remember what MM Lee did for us in the sixties. I remember what they did for us in the seventies and eighties. But the ruling government is no longer what it was in the past. They look out for their own benefits first. No longer, are the people the first priority.

I cannot listen to any more of MM Lee's mentioning of the what he did in the past. Yes, he did great. He did fantastic. But we're no longer living in the past. The present, is worrying. The future is daunting. You know what I mean when you realised that 80% (or more) of your CPF goes to paying for your flat. Which isn't even yours after you've finished paying cos it's a lease of 99 years. At the end of 30 years, u realised you don't meet the minimum cap of $90,000 in ur CPF account and you can't withdraw your money. Unless you get a stroke or something. So you realised, that you have to depend on the government giving you a little bit of money each month from your CPF account until you die. This is very odd, isn't the money in that account YOUR money?

Many whom I have spoken to, still tell me how great and fantastic our ruling government is. That is because, their parents have money, or they have money, and they do not understand what many others are going through. Either that, or they have already become what our government wants them to be: Totally guillible and do not ever question or use your brain to think. Just worship the government. Let's see if you can still depend on the government when you lose your job or when you don't have rich parents to depend on.

The opposition needn't necessary do things better. But I'll be willing to take my chance if I had a damn chance to vote. If you don't show the ruling party that they're losing support, they'll juz continue their slacking ways.

But all in all, with the winnings and the losings, I'm glad to say that we're seeing more support from the people for the oppositions. Most of the winners won with 60++ percent, very much lower than the last time.

I really hope that our lives and economy get better. This is my country, I don't wanna see it sink.
