Not those who come around every 4 or 5 years and make grand speeches and false promises.
Not the men in blue who hide behind a web of lies and deception and rile you up because they need your votes. Face it. You are nothing more than the votes they need to power them into parliament.
That is why
they make you angry - angry with the government - because it's the only
way to get your votes. They do not engage you on an intellectual level
to show you why they deserve your vote. Why not? Are you not intelligent
enough to be thus engaged?
Now you understand why after all the ferocity and passion raising issue after issue at rallies, when all is over, they are so quiet in parliament? Because those issues are not their concern! They are just tools to gain your votes. Did you think they really care? Do you even need them to tell you the issues that affect you?
They did not promise to work for you. In fact, they specifically tell you they cannot do much unless you send as many of them as possible into parliament. IT'S YOUR FAULT if they can't do much in parliament, NOT THEIR FAULT- because you did not give them enough votes. Oh the deception.
The men in blue is the deception. The real opposition is the global world - our neighbours and our competitors. There are many who would like to see us falter.
Our survival hinges upon our diplomatic relations with the rest of the world, our ability to make ourselves relevant to the world because the world will not make itself relevant to us, our ability to remain extraordinary so that investors have good reason to skip all the other countries and come to us, and our capacity to stay united as one people to take on the world.
The opposition will never focus your attention on the global world because it takes people of substance to talk about challenges and responses to global developments.
But we must be alive to our external environment, to the happenings in our neighbouring countries, the volatile global world with conflicting interests and the threat of terrorism.
A country is like a bird that needs two wings to fly, a domestic wing and an external wing and the two are interdependent.
Domestically we face significant challenges: a rapidly ageing population, a shrinking local workforce and a declining population. These have very significant implications on the social fabric of our society, on our economy and our security.
Perhaps you object to the obsession with the economy. But for tiny Singapore without any natural resources, the Singapore ECONOMY IS YOUR LIFELINE, your ONE AND ONLY LIFELINE, and you have every reason to make sure your lifeline is secure.
Sincere politicians who truly care for you would have turned your attention to these challenges because they affect you and your children.
We need strong, competent leaders of integrity to lead us, not rabble rousers.
For a bright and enduring future, there must be honesty and integrity. These are foundational. These are non-negotiable.
Vote wisely.
