Frankly speaking, I've always been apathetic towards politics. As long as I live my life and no one disturbs my equilibrium I will be happy with whoever is in power. Like who cares, right?
Until the power to vote and the heat of the elections has warmed every Singaporean up, including me. That one tiny vote suddenly becomes so precious; you are
1) voting for who you will be seeing for the next few years
2) voting for the next generation of leaders
3) voting for the people that you support.
It is not that I have a firm stand of who I should believe in, or whose beliefs resonate with mine. I believe in the sheer fact that no party can be perfect, just like no system can be perfect. It is about how to manage the flaws rather than pretend they did not happen.
And so listening to the political broadcasts and rally tweets, I can't help but post some comments on twitter/facebook on those ideas I think are crap, and those that I think are sound. But everyone's perspective is different, and hence the different supporters for the different parties.
I can't deny that they have not done everything well. But I also can't deny that there are a lot of things done well. Whilst some people genuinely believe that the party's mottos are to support for, some people are simply.. Going with the flow.
And these are the people that I do not like. Being apathetic and going with the flow are two different things.
And I am but another small small Singaporean whose vote will count for come May 7. :)
