10 Reasons not to Vote for PAP this General Election

Media_httppkpoliticsc_zfcwm

The PAP rally trucks are broadcasting their messages all over the neighbourhood. I wonder how many people are actually at home during this time of the day. I think most of us are probably in CBD slogging our life away, so who is the PAP really talking to? Its not a public holiday after Nomination day, is it?

I wasn't too excited about the GE this year as I thought like many other years before there will be plenty of 'walkovers'. Turns out, I do get to vote this year. All except 1 of the constituencies are being contested. How did that happen? And how did it begin?

Our inner thoughts that we penned down on Facebook or Twitter or other social medias during our frustrated moments in a crowded train, our struggles to get jobs, get seen by our friends and some of their friends and then its gets shared by more people and then it gets blogged and commented and rebutted and spread and broadcasted and people starts to ask questions like serious questions on cost of livings and ministers salary and then what started out as a small thought by one person evolved to a bigger thoughts of many people and then you can sense that that is what it takes to give confidence for a contest. And for once people who never cared about politics (like myself) stood up and take notice. It is about time. You no longer need permission to be heard it seems

So who shall get my first virgin vote?

Enter Yaevlejunce, who explains 10 reasons why it shouldn't be for PAP namely because,

1. Don't render unto Caesar's what is not Caesar's

2. Incompetence

3. Double standards

4. Blatant Lies

5. Operation Coldstore and the 1963 General Elections (I find this interesting)

6. Lim Chin Siong

7. Singaporean students need to learn a fair and accurate history in school

8. Traumatic MP experiences and MP who fears death by the Chair

9. Money. Of course, it's all about money

10. Singapore needs change
