Just my view
The Bridge
I think many people never really expected the proposed (now abandoned) new bridge to replace the causeway to materialize. Why would Singapore spend millions of dollar on something she feels is not necessary and would not bring any benefit? Do we seriously think Malaysia would sell sand to Singapore to help her expand her size or allow the SAF to use Malaysian airspace?
But why was it not scrapped earlier. Or why was it started without first consulting Singapore? Isn’t it common sense that replacing the causeway affects both countries?
Uniquely Singapore
Elections in Singapore is unique. In many countries the stronger parties go to the election with the aim of forming the government, and the party that gets just over half the parliamentary seats would usually be quite pleased. Here in Singapore only one party goes to the elections with the aim of forming the government. And the party also aims to capture all the seats in parliament.
Choice
During a dialogue session about elections on tv, the participants said they want to have a choice. It gave the impression that they want a choice just for the sake of having a choice. Looks like - “I just want to vote, give me an opposition though I may not vote for him.”
I thought they should tell this to the opposition leaders.
