Same old issues years after years

This will be my 2nd time voting out of the past 3 elections, the last one was walkover.

What are these? Lifts on every floor, shelters, upgrading blah blah blah… Is that all to an election? Issues concerning domestic (rather, immediate benefits to oneself) usually used to cloud the whole significant of election. See the big picture.

When a vote is cast, there are many reasons behind it. To the old, reasons may be the lifts on every floor, shelters and all. To the bo-chap, it’s just a cross on the obvious box. To younger generation, what is the use of having all those upgrading when one can’t present a paycheck home? To the kia-si, better stick to the usual people who have been here the longest time. To the righteous, credits are given even though nothing drastic has been done in 20odd years in service.

For the capable, major and minor issues are taken care of and nonsense scandals ignored. For the outnumbered, all can be heard is loud and long funny speeches, some make sense, some are just retaliation. Make some waves and hopefully be heard. Alternative voices, getting louder.... The results will reflect this.....


All for the same purpose, serving their dreams and the nation. Whether win or lose.
