When they say the MPs represent us in the Parliament, they are suppose to speak for us. Yawning Bread actually counted the average number of times our dear PAP MPs spoke up and those by the Opposition MPs.
Perhaps the number of times they spoke cannot be conclusive, but it is indicative of their sincerity at serving us...
Do take the time to read the link..

Mr Wang
Couple of sites which give us a break from Channel News Asia, Straits Times and any SPH coverage...
No one can be neutral in politics, either you agree or you disagree. But they never said you cannot agree with some and disagree with others. At the end of the day, you choose the one whom you disagree least... yeah?
Singapore publishers need to wake up and grab these bloggers and make a book.. I'll pay double what i did for Harry Potter!!!

"I don't care you want to vote for PAP or Opposition Party or yourself, vote is belong to you one. You want to vote the super elite scholar PAP member who backside can come out one new lift for your house, vote him. You want to vote blur fuck opposition who cannot fill form, vote him. You want to vote steady lau cheow opposition like Low and Chiam, vote him. Vote is yours one. It is the only thing in Singapore that can still say is belong to yours one (your HDB flat also not belong to yours one). " Wise words from Rockson
Also if you'd like to watch opposition rallies you may want to visit SGRally
I shan't comment on the Gomerz flop, nor the LUP (life upgrading program), whether it should be free, whether we ought to have it, whether the govt should have made them stop on every floor in the first place, i don't care about the NKF saga part III (elections issue). What i have to share, is a personal experience and thoughts of what transpired after the nomination day. No support for any parties, no playing of politics here, i am not even eligible to vote...
Facts:
Right after the Nomination Day, when it was announced that SDP will contest for the Sembawang GRC, it was the following day when my exams ended. All was normal until i started my ascend up to the 11th floor to the lift lobby (yes, my HDB flat has no upgraded lifts even though for 17 years it was under PAP's care). I notice a bad smell, sort of like vomit mixed with paint. Vomit - i probably can understand, my block people is known for crapping everywhere, from the lifts to the lobby to the staircases. Paint is something i cannot comprehend, because it has been a few years since they repainted the almost brown/greyish interior public walls of the flat. Also, i didn't notice any signs of fresh paint on my floor anyway.
As i emerged at the top of the steps on the 11th floor, i notice something entirely different. The bright reflection from the freshly painted walls nearly blinded me. the brownish/greyish walls were long gone, the white wall stood in stark contrast with the ones just one floor below where i lived (10th floor).
The white ended where the 10th floor began.
There was no sign of vomit. The only explanation i could give was the paint was really old or lousy grade such that it smells like vomit + paint.
In my usual dirty blue lift, which had a continuing theme of greyish/brownish prints from the lobby of yesterday, I was safe from the disgusting smell. I started wondering why have they painted the lobby? ONLY?
Then i dawned on me that the residents of sembawang GRC finally got a chance to vote this time. Albeit i can see no chances for the opposition for this GRC, 4 members in the party cannot bring you very far. But because a chance to vote means the our dear ministers will be walking around the blocks! Oh no, what will they do if they found out the flats look like squatters/ghettos?
I don't know which link in the government had gone wrong and i don't wish to go into a deep analysis of that.
I wouldn't have felt as bad as i do now if they havent JUST PAINTED THE BLOODY LOBBY and conveniently left out the rest of the floors. Just leave the freaking lobby alone and i won't even have second thought about ur policies, i just count myself unlucky.
The very reason they ONLY painted the stupid bloody lobby can only lead us to infer that, they have some kind of flaws to cover up? Either the lower tier execution officers are afraid that the ministers up there find something out, or there is a problem with the policies.
Does that mean that if on the Nomination Day, my GRC was a walkover, i won't even have the lift lobby painted?
I don't mean to bark at such a small issue, but if you can blow gomez saga into an issue concerning integrity and honesty, can i ask my MP to account for what happened here? The very integrity of the system is in question, worse than an issue of the integrity of a person.
We're paying misc fees every month and it only increases. But every morning, afternoon, evening i find crap in my already low grade lift - pee, rubbish, spit, spilled stuff. The character of singaporeans is in question, so is the cleaning system. Complaints have been made but no improvement seen.
An irritating neighbour on the top most floor has been pouring rubbish water down our kitchen window, everytime another neighbour called the police, no one answer the door. She tried to tell the MP, all she got was the secretary taking down the complaints which cost her 25 dollars everytime. Did she ever saw the MP, i'm not sure. Probably did, because for the first time in my life (i'm 21 this year), my dad told me the MP in charged of our estate came to OUR HOUSE to shook his hands. I only wonder if he'd stayed long enough to listen to all these for the 5 s of shaking hands and distributing of pamphlets. Pieces of paper which tells us PAP knows our NRIC numbers and where we live.
ST may be making a big mistake by flashing how PAP ministers can promise up to 280 million while opposition can only fork out 800,000. (in numbers it looks like that: 280 000 000 vs 800 000) It just make those who are thinking wonder, if it is all GOVERNMENT funds, why one party can promise so much while another one is labelled 'empty promise'?
Have we 'progress' to a stage where party = government? I would really love to try understand the complexity of how the funding works once and for all. That is the question and crux, instead of 'will we get our LUP for free?'
