However, I share Mr. Goh's view that it is the political awakening that is important. How GE2011 turns out will depend on the battle for the hearts and minds of the younger generation and through them to reach out to their parents, relatives for each to make an informed decision, i.e. if considering what alternative parties can offer vis-a-vis the PAP, they make their decision and not just because they hear the propaganda written or aired by the 140th Ranked Main Stream Media.PanzerGrenadierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836438378215893219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957101.post-1148234676225589242006-05-22T02:04:00.000+08:002006-05-22T02:04:00.000+08:00The I LOVE HOUGANG and the I LOVE POTONG PASIR dec...The I LOVE HOUGANG and the I LOVE POTONG PASIR decal is a great idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957101.post-1148212975583237822006-05-21T20:02:00.000+08:002006-05-21T20:02:00.000+08:00Pssst: Someone should print a simple glass cling-o...Pssst: <BR/><BR/>Someone should print a simple glass cling-on:<BR/><BR/>"I♥HOUGANG"<BR/><BR/>distribute it everywhere and see how <BR/>many people actually stick it on their <BR/>windscreen, windows, office, etc.<BR/><BR/>It'll raise awareness on the surrounding <BR/>beauty of Hougang and its lovely people.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure it's not illegal <BR/>to print tourist stickers, yah?<BR/><BR/>Although nothing yo do with Goh <BR/>Meng Seng or WP here, but I'm sure:<BR/><BR/>"I♥PotongPasir" sticker will also be a good<BR/>tourist promotional gift.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957101.post-1148132446509991152006-05-20T21:40:00.000+08:002006-05-20T21:40:00.000+08:00anonymous #2 (two post above mine):The fact that t...anonymous #2 (two post above mine):<BR/><BR/>The fact that the majority voted for the PAP is indeed best reflected in the polls, but the polls does not best reflect the true opinions. Don't forget that elections involve pork barrel politics, gerrymandering and certain ground-softening tactics (like the Progress Package).Jackson Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267650599398779304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957101.post-1148070224337876422006-05-20T04:23:00.000+08:002006-05-20T04:23:00.000+08:00What polls?

IF SDP didn't contest, WP won more than 40% overall.<BR/><BR/>If there were no GRC, some of the Alijunied GRC members would have won their seats easily. <BR/><BR/>I want to ask Mr Goh this question,<BR/><BR/>Was PM Lee right when he said the 44% of votes were even distributed? OR were there areas that the votes were over 50%?

I am told ..."Repression, Sir is a habit that grows. I am told it is like making love-it is always easier the second time! The first time there may be pangs of conscience, a sense of guilt. But once embarked on this course with constant repetition you get more and more brazen in the attack. All you have to do is to dissolve organizations and societies and banish and detain the key political workers in these societies. Then miraculously everything is tranquil on the surface. Then an intimidated press and the government-controlled radio together can regularly sing your praises, and slowly and steadily the people are made to forget the evil things that have already been done, or if these things are referred to again they're conveniently distorted and distorted with impunity, because there will be no opposition to contradict."
