singapore election...

firstly, i am not an political activist.. i am just practical with this entry by trying to start some comments from my readers!
if any newspaper wants to quote me, please contact for permission first!!! (as if my words so important... hehe)

yah... the leading party won...
i think i said this once before.. i am immune to the outcome..
cos it is the same anyhow..
to me, the most important thing is good economy.. food for everyone.. house for everyone..
stability is pretty boring stuff.. i guess

i do understand we need some derailment in society..
without opposition, where is creativity/vibrancy/innovation?
all these can be done in a moderate way..
more "counter-cultures" are springing up in singapore..
this is something which i can sense in the society fabrics but cannot point out the examples..sorry..
nevertheless.. the govt is definitely loosening its grip i guess..

at the same time, i am pretty glad that the population is showing some backbone by giving WP a good percentage of votes regardless of outcome.. "a battle lost does not meant a war gone"..

was speaking to a few foreign frens .. they felt that singapore is already quite good in
their human right history as compared to some other places (which i will not comment)..
hence, sometimes.. i just feel that some pple just complaining abt singapore govt for the sake of it..

some pple may accuse me of being pro-pap..
i can definitely tell u that i am not pro-pap or pro-wp or anti-pap or anti-wp or watever lah..
i just being realistic here...

let me post a few questions:
1) who shld decide if the actions of the ruling party is right or wrong??? pple or opposition party or foreigners?
2) democracy is by rule of majority.. even if the rule is accused to be coerced.. but how can we tell that it is not coerced, but freedom of choice???
3) even pap goes down to <50% of seats.. wat will happen? will things be better? who dare to guarantee?
4) will the opposition parties become an "iron fist" after gaining a majority? to remain in power?

my last comment is "everything is relative.. nothing is absolute..."
