yes. a lot of my pappy sarporker friends say they vote PAP cause they afraid WP suddenly take over and all the PAP ministers flee the country. Or other nonsense like how foreign investors are just waiting to close company, withdraw all their money and flee the country if WP takes over. :s22:

lose a few wards to opposition = political instability lol. :vijayadmin:

Actually that might happen though. Not flee but they just move somewhere else lo. What's stopping them to go other place? We are only 5 million people.

I also don't think will have much change. GRC system really cause good alternative party candidates having a hard time to have a foothold in parliament.

Most people oso know existing issues cannot be solved so easily. But if there are more MPs to object and debate about these type of policies in parliament, at least the incumbent won't luan luan lai coz there will be less "yes-men".

Simi impact? PAP already prepared for that but there are total of 89, even then it is still bao jiak for 6.9Mil, there is still no competition for their Ministerial jobs, so nothing gonna change, GST still will be increased.

"Let's do this."

"NO."

"Let's do that."

"NO."

"Then how to solve."

"You tell me."

Oh, I do believe reasons will be listed out during the debates, which will be aired on national TV. Having enough people in parliament to question policies which would otherwise just go straight through is what democracy is all about.

Singapore really do not need only yes men in parliament. In the long run it will be detrimental to the country and her people. A lot of Singaporeans are starting to feel it, even if you still think everything's rosy.

Was there serious debate when they have seats? Please don't say not enough seat, as long as you have one, you have the right to speak inside?

I don't understand your enough people to question. I have one seat I cannot talk? I need 30 seat then I can talk?? Sounds weird right?

"We want ZERO growth in foreign workers."

"We cannot do that. We will reduce the intake".

Some time later.

"Businesses are suffering because of lack of workers."

"You said zero growth, we reduced the intake. What's your stand now?"

"We debated about this and we have moved on. We don't want to jam up the government. This is responsible opposition."

"????"

Oh, they did speak, didn't they? Maybe you ought to look at the numbers again. Didn't some bro in EDMW shared how many times WP members in parliament have spoken up?

Tell me, if you are just 7 pax vs a hostile 80 (numbers ain't exact here, pardon me), and every single thing you say will get treated as a joke no matter how serious or important you felt it was, how would you feel? Yet they still spoke up. That accounts for something, doesn't it?

Look, I know where you stand and how you feel about opposition. There's no amount of reasoning I can say to get you to see where I'm coming from. So let's just leave things as it is.

Anyway time for me to head to polling station before the haze hits us again. Hate wearing N95 mask. :s13:
