              and this is the fact for abt 20% of Singaporeans. They prefer to stay in their comfort zone. :siam:
              but that is just my personal observation and I do understand this point :xedfingers: peace


              Peace and good luck! I can live with any of these 4 being elected, though TJS poses for me, the most risk.

              Saw many comments in other forums that suggests that TJS will resist or oppose the Govt or something to that effect..

              Which I feel is totally baseless..

              Since when did he give the impression that he will resist or oppose the Govt?

              A lot of pple cannot understand that \"For the People\" is Not the same as \"Oppose the Govt\"..

              Unless, it is a rogue Govt..

              In which case, we really need someone who can Oppose the GOVT.. Isn't it? :evil:

                      On the contrary, although there might be a chance TT could act differently when he becomes president (like OTC), but to me, it is a risk I'd not take. It is like being boiled slowly to death without even realizing (many things go on undisclosed) - no offence to TT supporters.

                      More so, I'd say each candidate have their own weaknesses and strengths - who we choose is going to have significance in the next 6 years (presidential 'contract' is 6 years, not 5). If it takes much more resources to achieve results, perhaps, changing the \"factors\" will help shed some light on new possibilities. JMHO.

                        By selecting more oppositions into Parliament, the 'battle' has already begun.


                        For those who hasn't already been following on these (being updated on the changes), choosing to ignore 'politics', thinking they are a waste of time or not worthy of one's concern, then it is too bad, for, all who are concerned enough to find out more will be the ones deciding their future. IMHO, to have a stand is better than not having any. And to vote based on who is more familiar-looking is to discredit the role of the President (not pointing to anyone in particular, but seeing there are people like that around).

                        By selecting more oppositions into Parliament, it is a signal that more people are prepared for change. And these changes will not go on quietly. It will be an on-going process, as significant as that we witnessed in the recent MND, PA, WP saga. This is just the beginning. To see such incidents as a disruption to our usual PEACE and quiet is to think that changes can go on without any form of confrontations (and perhaps some disruptions?)

                        Singaporeans are generally Peace lovers (including myself). There are times when tongues lash, but I am glad it is only tongues, and results can be achieved. I do not believe that our situation will resemble that of Taiwan, although we must always, and continue to administer self-control. We should, like an informed panel of judges, see and weigh for ourselves, looking for all evidence presented to us before deciding where to stand. JMHO
