Progress Package, PAP and the PeopLe

I wouLd Like to say a big thank you to the Government for giving us such a big "angbao" even though the Chinese New Year had passed Like eons ago.

But, why at such a good timing just before GeneraL eLection? Hmm ..

PAP, the PeopLe's Action Party a.k.a the Government stated its goaL to win a cLean sweep of aLL the constituencies and it is of course a possibiLity. So, does the Progress Package pLay a part in determining the PeopLe's decision in voting? WeLL, it may .. for most peopLe are born foLLowers. They foLLow, where good stuff are reaped upon them. They foLLow, for aLL their Lives they have been foLLowing. They foLLow, just because they cannot do anything eLse but foLLow. That makes up aLmost 80% of the peopLe.

The remaining minority, are made up of deep thinkers, disgruntLed peopLe Like nine of of ten cab drivers and heavy vehicLe drivers, and peopLe who do not Like to foLLow the system. I, respect them, for they are the few who have a mind of their own.

Maybe I shouLd not be writing that much, having Learnt a Lesson or two from history, where some individuaLs who speak a LittLe too much, get sued and went bankrupt. But where is the maturity and freedom of speech? If every singLe word said are to be brought up to court, who wiLL want to stand up and form a constructive opposition?

And so Singapore is opening up? I wonder ..
