Singapore Election 2011

It was voting day on 7th May 2011 where all had to vote except for Tanjong Pagar constituency which is led by our Mentor Minister Lee Kuan Yew.

I am in Aljunied GRC which was under the "hottest" GRC which WP Low Thieh Kiang contested against PAP George Yeo.

Throughout the campaigning, I am so eagerly waiting for News time to watch what PAP and the opposition parties are highlighting. I felt what the WP said are really concerns of the citizens. At least to me. And PM Lee apologies for the lapse in housing, transport n security 3 days before the voting day made me feel that PAP had FINALLY admitted sorry for their mistakes after these were tirelessly questioned by opposition these 2 weeks. Singapore is lucky to have a great founding father who built Singapore to where we are now. But We need a government that can hear the citizen's voices, is transparent and admit mistakes when things happen and even apologize so that we can all improve and move on in the right direction. It is pointless whenever I see government's answer on the rising HDB cost and how they keep justifying.

This day has come where opposition for the 1st time won a GRC from PAP's hands. The next 5 years will be the next change of tide where I hope the WP will not let Aljunied residents down. And I believe our government will improve and emerge better with the change.

I look forward to the next election. But I hate the fact when that means I am 5 years older! Haha...
