Aftermath - Bukit Batok By Elections

[mojito]

The BB voters are realists. That explains why when the sample results were out, they just continued their business as usual. No euphoria. No punch in the air. It is all to be expected. Life just moves on. Apathetic realism is the mindset of the BB residents.

Alamak. You blame the 15% who decided to vote opposition this time? What a fucking douchbag you are! Next election Aljunied all vote PAP see you shiok or not?

If the PAP thought that Chee was a real threat they certainly would not have released him from bankruptcy. And note the sum that was offered. Our challenge is to understand what is going on in this country and appreciate the nuances.

That is the reality of politics.

If they feel that you are a real threat to them, they will use every armament in their weapon arsenal to attack you ; every machine gun, every tank, every howitzer, every ground to air missile and every nuclear warhead. Because you appear like Kim Jong Un to them even though you want to appear like Mahatma Gandhi. The election that the PAP campaigned is not between Murali and Chee; but it is a contest between the PAP cabinet and Dr Chee; you either take Dr Chee or PM Lee and the PAP cabinet. The BB voters had decided. They want the PAP cabinet.

The subtle message of the BB by-election to voters is this : Do you not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish ?

The PAP released Chee from bankruptcy, thinking that he will take a long long time to rebuild his party and make a comeback. Little did they realize the man has not given up his fight and is punching back hard. Look at how the PM Lee has to use character as the election issue to bring the man down. That's not from Murali. When one uses character as the key election issue, it is either you are in or out totally in politics. Character is the most important factor for any candidate standing for election in Singapore. So, in the case of Dr Chee, he has to set the records straight or he will never be able to contest again. It is the contest of PM Lee vs Dr Chee. Now, who do you think they would vote for in this kind of contest ?

Apathetic realism rules in an election when what you vote for is not what you want in your heart. No euphoria. No excitement. Just business as usual. Life goes on. What's new? Nothing.

On the other hand, the whole cabinet clapped their hands and punched the air. Some even cried with joy of ecstasy. There was a great sense of relief all round. Heng arh!
