Depends on how we want to look at things.

Like Dr Lily Neo doing volunteering/cleaning works at an elderly's home after last GE. Many of us saw it as, drama, as she did not carry it through.

It was only when Barney pointed out, that I realised, I was short sighted. Dr Lily Neo initiated! It was the first move, for others to follow and lead on from there.

Nicole Seah's tears, helping the poor... well, some will perceived it as, drama, while some will perceived it as sincerity. It's how we want to see it. Whether she carries it thru or why she quitted the party, it is beyond our views sometimes. There could be underlying reason, or she finds it no point, whatever it could be.

What do you expect from Opposition? Share your point

Whatever they want to propose, they will be shoot at. As a minority representation, they can only counter policies.

At LOCAL level, which MP from PAP has delivered? As MPs, all 87 are the same. Who has done what, for their constituent? We judge the MPs in our ward for what they have done for the ward. Those in Opposition wards will be the judge of their MPs, like those in PAP wards judge ours.

At NATIONAL level, it is the government that is in control. As MP, they usually debate policy making in parliament. But with party whip from PAP camp, all their 81 will have to vote in favour (or the rare few, excused themselves during voting). 2/3 votes secured on policy will see it being pushed thru.

Much like I dislike PAP, I will praise good policy and criticize unfavourable ones, keyboard warrior many will call.

Honest, we will never get to know.

Local media is so controlled.

Until there is transparency, lop sided reporting does happen

Like every others, I'm nothing but a Keyboard Warrior.

But I am objective! How abt you?

Objective. When some policies were passed and ppl are unhappy, if it is a reasonable or good policy, I'll at least explain it objectively in my opinion. Have you?
