As with every other Singaporean, i was infected with the GE fever for the past week or so..(i actually left Jolin Tsai's concert early so i wouldnt miss the live results..jolin tsai really deserves a solo entry after wat i've gone thru over the past 2 nites..but neh mind)

There're quite a few entries on GE saved as drafts(I was actually trying to resist publishing new entries for a while...so MM can stay as cover labbit for a little longer), starting from the time i realised that i'm one of the 6% of adult Singaporeans who do not have the chance to put a X for the candidate i want(such is the irony)

Was browsing through some articles..when i came across Marine Parade's response to Ms TPL:

'TPL,of cos, was a factor - So you do know..

We knew she was young but we know that she will grow. I think that's the key. We wanted her. If anything, we knew that she would be young and inexperienced but we are quite happy - Happy with what exactly??

And the main thing is, she got through - Of cos lah, must still give u face right?

And that's the reason why people are unhappy - that such a young and inexperienced person has got through - That's stating the obvious right? Duh!!

In politics, it's transcient. We have 5 years. If after 5 years, TPL remains what she is, then of cos, she would still be a factor at the next election. But at this stage, looking at her action, in 3 years, she would be a different TPL' - So why get her in now? Why not just recruit her 3 years later for the next election?

I always thought a candidate need to prove him/herself first before we vote them in..Since when do we elect MPs, pay them $15k a month, so that we can groom them over the next 3 years???

Anyway, for more Singaporean voices on the GE, i thought my buddy Wei aka SJH aka SHM had a pretty good piece - Courage of Conviction
