I ain't surprised. Today I was out with some young scholars from NUS and spoke to a couple of them. I was pretty taken back that they believe Singapore needs opposition! A chiobu scholar even remarked to me that she will vote oppo. Pleasant surprise indeed.
Youthful naivete and wide eyed idealism....another 5 or 6,7 or 8 more years of this stagnation and disenchantment and in the civil service,she will be Rock solid in the establishment camp,drained of all optimsim and hatred and hope,she would be a tired zombie corpse.PAP has never failed to crush the hopes of every generation from the 80s to the 00s.
Even tharman used to be a socialist and idealist when he was young...but it's too late for him now,he's too entrenched in the dark side to disobey his masters.
