polling day is tommorrow. last night i came across various blogs set up specially for the elections. and, i found out MANY INTERESTING STUFF.
Just some photos i have picked out.
Worker's Party Rally at Ang Mo Kio
Worker's Party Rally at Tampines
Worker's Party Rally at Hougang. (just look at how many people there are, and to add to that, it's only the central part of the crowd. the camera lens wasn't able to capture the rest)
Worker's Party Rally at Ubi
PAP Rally at Tampines
PAP rally at Hougang
i believe that photos can speak a million words. and i'm sure most people would not have noticed that such a phenomenon did happened. yes, right here in singapore. these pictures really get me thinking. asking myself...
what accounts for the vast difference in the number of people at rallies?
what is it that the people are attracted to, or what circumstances may have led them to attending such rallies, which is so stuffy and crowded?
what are the push and pull factors?
have you ever wondered why such infomation does not get across to you so readily (if you didn't know it in the first place)
have you ever wondered why the headlines of the HOME section of The Straits Times doesn't state in bold "20,000 turned up at Worker's Party Rally in Hougang" while the headlines are splashed with a certain victim's name?
it really calls for alot thinking. doesn't it? i'm not implying anything as i don't want to get sued. but i shall leave you to draw up your own conclusion.
all this are my views. views from a 15year old teenager to be specific.
but despite all these, i still think the PAP will win most of the seats giving their mass popularity they have with the older generation. it was certainly the PAP that brought this group of people out of the kampungs and slums into HDB flats in the 1960s. certainly, their gratitude towards the PAP would secure the PAP a portion of the votes.
however, more and more people of the younger generation are being able to vote. people whom personally have not tasted hardship. people who were brought up under singapore's intensive education system. the people who were the very victims of the education system, streaming to be more specific. so will they support the main political party? i think that's a question they should seriously look into. in 2 elections time it's my time to vote. (i'll be 20 in the next elections, still not old enough. haha.)
i myself am not a fervent supporter of such a system. i study because i know if i dont't study hard, i won't do well and get into the best schools in singapore and i won't make it in life. that's how so many other students feel as well. but don't worry that's not the only reason why i study.
that's all i have to say for now. please note that these are my views. and they may not be true. so please don't quote anything here as an evidence against certain issues or so.
Amaths paper today was a brisk. i really have to thank God. the first exam that i was rather relaxed or perhaps too relaxed till i didn't have time to finish my last question. -.-"
8 papers down, only 6 more papers left. (like that's going to help alot -.-")
the education system... is really driving us nuts.
next week monday-HISTORY, tuesday-CHEMISTRY, wednesday-GEOGRAPHY. goodness. i seriously hope i can survive this ordeal. the three subjects that requires the most amount of studying. SIGH. i don't know what would to do if i didn't have such a great God.
