i am so glad i get to vote! and i just made my precious vote! and nope, i did not vote for the "self-declared government", coz i think they are only making use of us to maintain their monopoly power. the fact that they claim to be the government and people should vote for them is already showing that they are getting too complacent. they try all kinds of ways and means to get rid of the opposition and pass such unkind remarks to make themselves look good. is that what a true government looks like? if that's the case, well, they look ugly. the elitist structure is already pissing me off. no doubt we need to boost the economy by giving the rich more power, but not at the expense of the poor. the income disparity is rising, and not much efforts has been done to improve it. why should people be made to pay for upgrading services if they are really doing things to benefit the whole community? don't they know the opposition don't make their people pay when they upgrade? why are they funded selectively and only certain people get the funds? it makes no sense. now they're smart, make it the rule that for upgrading, ALL the citizens will have to pay 10% of the upgrading fees. talk about interests. look at hougang, the place where alot of elderly reside, how are they supposed to come up with the money when they are living on welfare support? 3 meals a day might even be a problem for them, and you epect them to pay.

we cannot deny the fact that the so called "government" has been doing things to improve the economy, and the is evidence that in my constituency, we have improved facilities, but all these come only when elections are nearing. how do WE as a people trust them? making unkind remarks about other people when they are not given a chance to prove themselves, is this the correct way? there is NO parliament now, so who can claim to be a minister? ministers pay is the highest in the world, what does this say?

i know i made the correct vote, and the government should be kept in check. probably the elites and middle class people might not agree with me, but standing from the viewpoint of a sociology student, and as one from the lower income families, i know how much is allocated to help the poor, and how we are being made poorer. i need voices to speak up for us, to fight for our rights. as a sociologist, it is in my interest to do this, likewise for the elites and middle class, it is for their interests. we each have our own interests, and i don't like the fact that it's favouring the rich. period.
