A person who cant even manage his family, how can he manage a company? A person who cant manage his company, how can we be sure that he can manage a political party? A person who cant manage and command his own political party and lead his team, how can we vote him into the parliament and speak for the residents and handle nation issues?
Recently, met a couple of independent opposition members, listening to their plans and presentation for the upcoming election, I was kind of surprise by their theory and philosophy, and when I look at what they had done or going to do, I'm even surprise too.
They told me they want to help the Singaporeans, especially the low-income families, the small medium enterprises, improve the education for children, resolve the transport issues, coming up with a better system for HDB to ensure the housing costing is affordable etc. Very impressive right?
But after looking at what they had done for past two years or so, I'm wondering what will happen to Singapore if they are "lucky" to become our MP, and I'm starting to worry for our nation, our current issues and many things.
Not all opposition members are bad or lousy, but seem that there are too many of them having so much personal issues, family issues and even thinking how they can raise funds to participate in upcoming election. This really made me wonder if they cant even afford the deposit, how are they going to manage our nation funding in future?
On the other note, many of them keep saying that they want to help and serve the residents and Singaporeans, but it seem that they only know how to do walkabouts, shaking hands with the residents, selling party newspapers, and if the resident really ask them for assistance, will they be able to help? Or just listen and forget?
I sincerely urge and hope that if you are serious in becoming a politician, do have a heart for the Singaporeans and think what you can do for them now, or what you can do for them in near future, and not wait until the election, then start barking and talking bad about our government.
Political and politician is not about walking around greeting people, but to serve and ensure our resident's welfare and security, and after that think of ways to improve our nation's system and other matters.
I understand that the salary for a MP is so much higher than a normal working executive, and please do not become a MP just because of the good pay, but please do it with a heart for Singapore and the people. Bear in mind, talk is cheap and action speak louder than words.
This blog post is just my feeling, my concern and worry for this upcoming election, as I do not wish to see lousy opposition politician marching into the parliament, also I wish to urge all Singaporeans to look at who you are voting, as our government is also working hard to improve themselves and the current system now.
