A Day I Decided for my Future
The election fever came and go. But it left in me a greater understanding of politics in Singapore. I was nv intersted in such things... dun bother to say read about it or find out more. I attend 1 rally and was greatly overwhelmed by it. It was enought for me to know wad the pple's voice was about. It was there i knew Singaporeans are a cohesive lot. Standing together to fight or rather rally for a cause. I suddenly felt emotionally overwhelmed by it... and i knew i had to be passionate about it. I even quarrelled with Cheryl on issues i dun agree. That's election.
I really have to respect (some) opposition candidates for wad they do. Fueled by passion, they fought hard. Chiam and Low were the winners... not just for themselves and thier parties, but for the ordinary folks whose hearts were touched by them. The next time i walk into a opposition ward i will not be taken aback by thier (some say crumpling) states. But now i admire their inner beauty. I will respect the pple there. For they know that their pride and what they stood for doesn't cost just 180 million dollars. They nv betrayed their leaders for money when everyone expected them to give in to it. Wad is money here? Will u let someone buy Singapore for as much money as they will give? Well, the pple leaving there will forgo upgrading for now, and they are proving that they truely and deeply believe in wad is called democracy and equality. Pple like who think like these are the ones who are fit to lead Singapore in the coming future.... pple with outstanding character and a great sense of wisdom.
I may be dimayed and disappointed with the opposition winning only 2 seats... but in years to come, the younger generation like me will have greater influence in things around us. At least for now, we still do have a voice, and we have a Choice.
