Elections coming!

Elections coming!

Hard Truths by mrbrown, the lovable blogger whose notoriety outlasts his charm.
On the lines of Prizes and popular culture, I do believe that the gov will be rethinking its strategies and how it plays its cards this time round, with so much controversy brewing before the elections. There will be the good and the bad, but we all know who is breaking into cold sweat now, with carrots and new "goodies" thrown out as knee-jerk reactions.



Bottom-line: Who the "Prize" really is? The elections or the Singapore people?

Hard Truths 1. You may never get to vote in this lifetime.

Hard Truths 3. People want an opposition in parliament but not in THEIR estate please.

Hard Truths 4. Singaporeans will forget all their grievances if you dangle a carrot just before elections.

Hard Truths 9. When elections are around the corner, every minister, president and their mother will publish a book.

Hard Truths 10. When elections are around the corner, the newspaper will print pages and pages of excerpts of these books, saving you the convenience of buying the books.

Hard Truths 11. When the Minister Mentor says, "We can integrate all religions and races except Islam" and that Muslims can integrate better if they were "less strict on Islamic observances", it is a hard truth.
