Screw those politics!

Opposition views are interesting, and provide a good read. The SDP website.

The one-sided coverage of the election campaign makes one wonder if Mediacorp is having double standards... The recent blunder by Gomez has been attacked violently by the PAP in a war of words. All of them have had their say, and the media hears it.

Any ruler knows the media is one of the surest ways to subvert a population. There are undecided votes, (eg. apathethic youth) that would just sway to one side with the excessive media coverage. Underground struggles are always mere struggles. There is just no fair-playing field in Singapore politics.

Gestures. Politicians hugging babies, talking to minority races. I mean, can we have some sincerity, rather than the BULLSHIT coming out from the box? I appeal to the media: please don't air such ad nauseum on purpose, to buy undecided votes!

I admire Gomez's courage for making the apology. The leading party is complacent because of their majority, & their track record, for taking care of the majority - the more well-off.

That FTA is the only solution to our problems. Of course, international relations are important. What makes anyone think that other political parties are not as qualified? That they will not be able to carry off the FTA as well? Without political diversity, any single party in power tends to become corrupt, and a sector of the population's needs uncatered for.

Yes, the NKF saga, we won't forget. Where's the recent (unestablished) connection between Durai & the 'peanuts' comment? How can the money from the populace, in the form of taxes, in the form of sincere donations be labelled as peanuts? Can we doubt if the Party is still as pure as we think? One wonders.

"Aiyah, KNS... Politics is damn wayang lah..."
