elections
The general elections and nj's council elections are coming up! As the buzz of campaigning that goes around me gets more and more attention seeking, i start to realise there are several parallels that we can draw from these 2 major events.
vote winning tools
The government has deployed the Progress Package to gather more PAP support, even though they claimed it's to share the surpluses with the entire nation, to make distribution of income more equal...blah blah. even a 10 year old kid will know the obvious intention that the government has of giving out MONEY! especially so at a date so close to the general election.
in school, we see similar acts by the council candinates. We find candies on the canteen table in a box that yells at us to "VOTE FOR ME.. coz i run the second mile" u get the idea of those cheesy slogans. Or we get "free drinks by Kristy Teo" and the poster is aptly placed right above the water cooler. (that i must say is very innovative)
yupx, they are giving out candies, tissues just to get our votes. maybe one day... they will do it like the government and give out MONEY! yays!
the candies, like the progress package, we dont see them around often do we? only when election dates are near. yup after they get elected into office, hmm.. where' the buzz? where's all the talk about improving student welfare? If those feeback sessions are productive... i still dont understand why i still have to pack up after training IN THE DARK! perhaps those grandstand lights are there for decorative purposes.
HOLIDAY
the election date falls on a holiday! just like nj's speech day where candiates are to give a speech to the entire school. only that, the "entire" school would probably not be there coz some of us would have self declared it's a holiday too! =)
okay now. im so ready to vote.
the writer understands that the above issues raised are rather sensitive issues. and perhaps she has been politically incorrect. but because the write has to calculate the probability that she will draw 4 aces from a deck of card (which is a very impt skill that students these days have to learn especially so when the integrated resorts, with the casinos are coming uP. the writer is unable further elaborate her points.
