holidays are very much welcome, regardless of the regime. President KFC could increase his national support by declaring more public holidays or giving out $10 Hongbaos at the Istana during the weekends.

It gives us a chance to show how much we hate the PAP by going overseas during these few days.

It is only bribery if you allow yourself to be bribed. Same as their freebies and cash payouts.

Halimah predicting nearly a MILLION Singaporeans leaving Singapore on 7 August 2015?

And she even thinks if they leave, it's because they are going "overseas to celebrate" SG50?
Not because they want to AVOID celebrating SG50 in Singapore?

Halimah: Stay in Singapore, celebrate together over long National Day weekend - Channel NewsAsia

SINGAPORE: Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob has urged Singaporeans to stay home over the long National Day weekend from August 7-10. She hopes Singaporeans would take the time to celebrate together.

7 August was declared a public holiday by President Tony Tan Keng Yam, as part of Singapore's 50th birthday celebrations.

Madam Halimah said: "I understand that Singaporeans take the opportunity during periods of long weekends to chill out with their families overseas. On other occasions, that's all right but on this occasion I hope that they will stay in Singapore and really celebrate together as a nation. It will be very sad if a quarter of Singapore goes overseas to celebrate."

I think I know why Halimah said "a quarter", i.e. 25%, and not a third or a fifth...

If I calculated correctly, 803,482 people voted for opposition parties at the last GE:
Singaporean_general_election,_2011#Results_summary
and Singapore's citizen population now is 3,343,000:
Statistics Singapore - Latest Data - Population & Land Area

So, 803,482 / 3,343,000 = 24.03%

That 25% makes up of all the true-blue Singaporeans. The rest staying home to celebrate are newly/recently-minted ones?

Some of those staying home includes down and out sinkies who are too poor to even take a day off to go to JB.
They are the daily kena arse fuck sinkies who are too cowardly to vote against vile pappies thus have to work till they die....

Re: Halimah predicting nearly a MILLION Singaporeans leaving Singapore on 7 August 20

The irony is that many, if not most, of these nearly one million Singaporeans (who MIGHT leave Singapore on 7 August 2015) actually want possibly the same number of NON-Singaporeans to leave Singapore and stay out forever! :p
