Singapore General Election 2011

we are excited about politics. i think this election has made clear that there are young singaporeans out there who are willing to step up and say, 'pick me, because i want to make a change too.' thank you to these singaporeans who have dared to take this first step. such a step inspires us all.

are we ready for change? maybe. we are still very hesitant. we are persuaded to conform so easily. so even if we didn't manage to effect change this time, we would like these individuals and alternative parties to continue to play a role in shaping singapore's future. because, if we realise that these opposition party candidates are in it for the long haul, no matter trials and tribulations, then we are more likely to vote for them the next time. so do stick around.

national building has always been a trial and error process. no one can say for sure if they were going to do better than the other party. instead of all of us complaining about certain issues and topics that bother us, let's get onto the process of changing the situation.
