Politics used to be of no interest to me before, and that's what I did at the last GE, voted for the "A team" as all my life, the media has precived that all is good with the PAP. Now five years down the road, our GST has increased (and will increase more), housing cost went up, medical bills soared. The A team is suppose to solve all this problems and many more, but instead they created new ones. Not to mention the overbudget of YOG and the escape of Mas Selamat, the most wanted fugative in our eyes. How can they call themselves the A team?
If they want the singaporeans to reporoduce themselves, get to the root of the problem, reduce housing cost and medical expenses and increase pay. Oh but wait, they cant do that because they need to replenish our reserves when temasek lost $39 billion which depleated in investments from our money. Don't we have our MM, SM and president to advise an forcast whats going to happen ? Obama only earns US$400,000/ year, yet is in-charge of a superpower, where else our 4 head of states each earns a whopping US$3million and cant see a tidal wave coming.
So the choice is not clearly the 4th generation "A team" at all. When i vote for a party, they are supposed to listen to the citizens feedback and problems, and not merely dissmiss them as "noises" (as quoted by minister Lui Tuck Yu, citizen's feedback = noises). The opp do have capable people in their ranks, its just that the mainstream media, owned by the ruling party downplays them . Like they say, its dirty politics, and the ruling party has the upper hand at that. So this time round, im giving the opps a chance, to at least hear out the people.
