My First Vote

This is getting outta hand. The news have been showing WP's Gomez video every single day since the issue was brought up. Ot's simply being blown outta proportion. It may be a mistake on his part for not submitting the form (mind you, it's just a minority form, how will it affect anyways??), but I think there has been too much talk about it by the other party. Translating Gomez's action (or inaction) into a show, a scam, a theft and a even a crime is simply outrageous. How can you put two and two together and when there is no link at all? It's starting to backfire. No wonder I can see Ah Low's frustration when he exclaimed "pls lah!" and describing PAP as a naggy old woman who just won't stop harping on the issue. WP has said it all and too bad if people want Ah Low to explain again, I bet he won't want to become another naggy old woman! Pls lah... U think WP will remove/sack Gomez? That would only prove to people that they are afterall submissive to the other party and it would indirectly prove that Gomez is guilty.

Can't these people spend more time on thinking about more impressive policies and come up with something that will benefit the people more? Rather than going on and on about something which is not of an issue at all(at least to me and most of the people I know)? It's indeed wise of WP to just shut up and move on.

To state my point, I think it's best to quote Rockson
"But the PAP and the newspaper and TV all make him look like he rape his mother and sister and steal their money then go and take drug, and then fuck a dog, and then rob a bank and then kick a little girl until she die!!! What kind of fuck thing is this?

Please lah, gahmen got nothing better to whack is it? What national issue is this? They keep say the opposition never tackle national issue, now they themself got so much time to attack one blur fuck who submit form wrongly then never admit early enough."



First say Gomez not honest, then give analogy of him as a thief, next say he's a cheater, samore link his action to a crime. Got so serious or not??? What's next?? May Rockson can give a better prediction...
"Fuck you understand?
So how now? Look for Low Thia Kiang the libary book borrow already never return is it? Never return libary book is mean he cannot be trust mah! Or tell Singaporean that Sylvia Lim last time she park car never put coupon, then the parking auntie come then she run out to put. Aiyo! See that woman also cannot trust!
Fuck you understand?"


For better understanding, the media showed some "pseudo polling cards" sent out by WP to the Joo Chiat residents with the residents' IC and addresses on it to actually ask for votes. First, if wanna blame, blame the election office lah! They sold the residents's name and particulars to WP. And who do you think "owns' the election office? Who should be held responsible then? And then if you are thinking only WP mail the "pseudo polling cards", then you are probably living in a walk-over GRC or one that probably the opposition will not win, cos this is when you don't receive from PAP. But if you are staying in a fiercely contested area, you'll receive from both parties! Oh but the news only shows WP's "despicable acts" lah, of cos.


A lot of ple have been pretty puzzled why I am so interested in this political issue. Simply cos it's interesting! I just can't understand how some people can not even know which GRC they are in, which MPs and parties are in contest, and especially when they are going to vote. U mean you are going to vote blindly? I
f you had been to the rallies, it's even better! Like on SingaporeElections, it says
"Singapore, You're being Oppressed!
Turn off the TV, Dump the Straits Times, Come to Rally!"

It's interesting to hear them talk in dialects, with Ah Low singing his Teochew tune
"天上一只鹅,政府赚钱人民没"
It ryhmes in Teochew. It means "there's a goose in the sky, the government earns but the people doesn't" In Teochew, goose sounds like Goh. Yup you get the point.

Then listen to Ah Goh's rebutt
"新加坡有一条龙,政府赚钱给人民"
It ryhmes in Hokkien, meaning "there's a dragon in Singapore, the government earns money and gives to the people" Ok so you should know who dragon refers to.

I had been to the WP Rally, at Hougang. An estimated 20,ooo attended. From what I saw from my very own eyes, it's probably more. It was damn congested! Jam from very far away, cars cant move around the vicinity and no parking lots left!! It's probably more than any of the free concerts I ever attended! Here's some pix from SG Rally.


















Please not comments : Photo taken by Yawning Bread at WP rally, Hougang, 30th April 2006.Field report by Yawning Bread here.
"And that's only the central part of the crowd. The swarm was wider than my widest lens."

See I nv bluff you!! Really alotta ple... Captured on my HP...

On the tree....(Look hard for the centre of the pix with a faint red circle)

On all levels of the multi story carpark (it's not very clear due to the strong lightings)

On every level of this HDB Block beside the field! It's not the only one packed. Can't even attempt to get into the lift! Too many peopl crowding...




Some smart ass even made Home made barley and sold each miserable plastic cup for 1 buck each!!! Good mind for making business...



People leaving towards the end...This is walking away from the main crowd. There are still 10s of thousand of ple left... Oh wait a moment, does it kinda make up the number of people in the next pix??




PAP's rally the very next day at the very same venue.

Silence is perfect for the night
All alone you hide
From the lights shone too bright

This very moment you own
Don't waste away a night so beautiful
