Whatever the outcome of the GE tomorrow, I will be glad that my friends and classmates have proven that they are not politically apathetic and that they care what happens to Singapore - even though I disagree with change for change's sake, but at least there's discussion about politics, which can only serve to make our government better. Joy was saying she was so worried about how people are going to vote and how the government will continue being effective that she thinks we should consider going into the public service ourselves. Rachel and Florence were saying that today was the first time they've discussed politics for more than 5 minutes with people.
Stories of George Yeo helping his GRC's residents; Chiam See Tong continuing with politics and going around meeting residents even after his stroke; MM Lee's support for his party despite the death of his wife only a few short months ago; PM Lee's fb chat; WP's 33 page and incredibly dense manifesto which you know could only stem from examining PAP's policies and discussing them and thinking of alternate solutions to existing problems (even if I don't agree with some of them).
I may not have liked listening to angry people slam the PAP at rallies (they're not perfect and will never be, but they're good and I'm happy with that) but people have proven that they care, and I don't think we can ask for anything more for our country.
I don't actually have a giraffe. ):
