PAP Rally At Aljunied GRC... (blog post #4)

Just yesterday, I went to Aljunied Sports Stadium at 7pm to view the rally speech given by Mr George Yeo, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and his team. Apparently, the Worker's Party is much more popular at Aljunied as according to my parents, the Worker's Party held their rally the previous day. During their rally, the stadium was full at around 6pm, and at 7, people who still came in had to stand on the football field as the stands were all full. However, when PAP held theirs, my family still managed to grab some seats at 7pm, with our food which we bought. Moreover, the papers even stated that PAP had to use coaches to bring in people who initially did not want to go to the rally to make up the crowd and force them to stay there and support the speakers. This really shows how well the opposition is doing and how unpopular PAP is.

According to my parents, a group of people behind them were complaining that "PAP cheated them". The reason behind this was that in the previous election, Mr Goh Chok Tong stated that he would set aside a total of around 200 million dollars to upgrade the estates in two of the towns in Singapore. However, he did not do so afterwards as one of his conditions was the voting for him by the majority of the people. This only earned him the discontent of those who voted for him.

Personally, I hope that PAP will win. Partially because they have several talented people as well as the experience of governing Singapore for already 45 years. Furthermore, they are the ones who developed Singapore from scratch and should deserve the position of the government of Singapore. Finally, I feel that we should be grateful to PAP for making Singapore what it is today, especially MM Lee Kuan Yew.
