woot today is the day of the double post! haha nt cos i didnt blog recently, but cos elektions are over! or at least nothing i say will affect votes anymore =X

a few stuffs i have been thinking about, whether or not its completely my idea nt that impt yes?

1) Tanjong Pagar got a lot of old people, but the lift upgrading programme by the pap doesnt seem to be encompassing that area. maybe its just a given and theres no point saying? what about the people in oppo parties? shudnt the funding be channelled to those who need it most, as compared to giving it to people as a carrot of a stick? (+3% to mount speed)

2a) The opposition party says they will work out a way to give their area lifts upgrading, but somehow cannot spend more than ?10%? of their reserves, and only if the people dont pay more than ?6k?. the PAP says the ongoing lifts upgrading is a PAP scheme... and say that they have ?100 million? prepared to give upgrading to ALL flats for FREE. [?? for i nt sure about actual figures, but thats a damn big carrot] well, i think people may still vote for opposition... not all of them are mules, and not all of them need the upgrading... but the oppo is offering exactly the same thing!

2b) WHO CARES ABOUT THE LIFTS? why shud the lifts make up the main point of contention in the elections? i thot the whole point of opposition is to keep a check and balance on the government (ie PAP) to ensure they dont step out of line? only they have the power to request for financial reports and such.

3) Anyone wondered why the opo people are so active now? methinks it has something to do with the new pm... maybe they think they stand a better chance now. nt to say that LHL is bad... more like LKY is utter gosu. haha all that talk about singapore being soft authoritarian made me think that LKY was actually an authoritarian stuck in a democratic government.

4) what will happen if LHL doesnt win his grc? that will be A.D.(assured destruction) for our economy, our government and our way of life. wow.. doesnt that sound like terrorism? one wonders why he's in a contested grc...

*) haha if you don't vote its a crime... that entails a $5 dollar fine! At least thats what my sources state... nt sure about repeat offenders.

disclaimer: nah beh.. dun come after me for this k? anything incorrect here is not to defame anyone, im just some insignificant puddle typing stuff for my frends to absorb and serve as food for thought.
