So for every poor person you meet, you are going to cry infront of them? Perhaps they need change, perhaps they need help, but one thing they dont need is your pity or tears.
Catching up on rally videos online as if I am really going to be voting tomorrow. It pains me, it disgusts me, it angers me and sometimes, it comforts me. I have realised that while I have no strong alliance with any party, not the incumbent, not the opposition, PM Lee comforts me, his tone, his content and his struggles. SM Goh reminds me of my grandfather, had he had spoken as much english, the mannerisms, the fatherly tone, the urge in his voice that was no where near desperate, but full of assertiveness. But these are not clear markers, or are they not?
My vote will lie with whoever that can address the three top issues Education, Elderly care (or just healthcare) and the Sandwich class, to my liking. Education - as my younger brother has YEARS to go, how will it work out for him, for us? Elderly care - my parents, enough said. And the sandwich class - bridging whatever gaps that appear, making it easy to start a home in Singapore. Being in America for 5 months have opened up my eyes to these issues even more. We are at the forefront of it all, but how do we not fall behind?
Regardless the case, I can only speak from a corner of Seattle and watch as the drama unfolds. Watch as Singaporeans (and majority of my peers) make a choice, and hopefully a right one. Lets shed the image of the apathetic generation Y, let's figure this out. And let's not be deceived by the unneeded bashing, tears and other PR tactics.
It is, about convincing and convictions afterall.
