Otherwise, it is either I vote for incumbent (definitely no way), or spoil/void my vote (no way).

Then what's the point of heading to the polls when your vote will not count? To simply soak in the atmosphere?

And no, your analogy is all wrong too. This "Daughter" has no place in my family, and every thing "she" says is not regarded.

Exactly, so I make it count.

If I'm "forced" to spoil/void my ballot, I might as well take myself off the electoral roll and save myself the trouble every handful of years. If that's what everyone is supposed to do, then might as well abolish democracy in Singapore too. GEs would just be a mere procedure to show a semblance of choice (e.g. Russia)

Define "us". Because most of us don't get to directly benefit from whatever "prosperity" you're speaking of, despite our hard work. And that's the truth of all neoliberal economies. It does not trickle down, full stop.

If you're content with your annual jiakhong, weekly DTF, can buy car buy condo, so be it. But that privilege doesn't extend to majority of Singaporean citizens who don't get to see the fruits of their labour. Perhaps you guys are the "clown" for thinking the incumbents have your interests at heart all the time... Stop dreaming. You can really tell us again that when you get into the doldrums. Good times don't last.

Personally how I feel too, there is only how long the ruling incumbents can continue to rely on past glory which was due mostly to the 1G leaders.

Just because their contribution back then initially was positive, does not mean they can continue to live off it.

Putin really did a lot for Russia back then, does not change the fact that he is plunging his countrymen to lower depths due to his actions now.

That's why these MPs can never trusted.Twist and turn story just to make residents vote for them to continue get fat salary.

She better wake up her idea. Citizens may take her reply as a threat that PAP will not ensure responsible transition if freak election occurs. Is this a responsible govt?
Threat ? I think it’s a given. WP already described in detail how transition of Hougang and Aljunied was effected

But “the question of whether they are familiar enough with the town, the question of whether they know what our residents want, will certainly be something to keep in mind”, she said.

if MIW are so familiar with the town and know what residents want, then why only every 5 years then start saying this and that will be done ? only work once in 5 years ?
