Finally Over!! Or has it just started?
1 day of nomination, 8 days of rallies, 1 day of polling....Accusations, deceit, media bias, money politics, riot police, loyalty vs materialism, slip of tongue, accountability, mandate, young opposition, the list goes on....
The action seems to have all ended with the results announced. This election saw the rise of opposition parties, esp WP, sparking a country-wide interest in them. More noticeably, it triggered the widespread increase in politics awareness in youth, young voters. A good thing it may seems, a good thing many ppl felt, but deep in my heart, an alarm sounded.
The youth discussed, the youth questioned, the youth raised opinions, the youth rally ard WP citing its credibilty, endorsing it as a constructive opposition that does not oppose for the sake of opposing. I too endorsed the WP team of this election, but sadly, I could not say the same thing about the youth. Are their reasons for supporting the opposition the sake for justifying the unspoken possibilty that they are the one who is opposing for the sake of opposing......
Which direction will our politics be heading? What political environment will serve the ppl best? Lots of things to consider before any step is be taken...
