Only Anti-PAP and Pro-PAP pple decides thinks this is a formality coz they have already confirm their votes BEFORE the election

in other countries, election rallies are colourful, entertaining and rowdy..with strippers, entertainers, singers all putting their weight behind the respective candidates.
Its only in Singapore where it is all prime and proper. In fact, only this year you see TV debates and yet, it is all so tame...
Really, majority of the voters already know who to vote even without going to the rallies. Really, how much can you say during the rally? U think the handful of blokes who have not made up their mind will do so by one or two speeches?
actually such rallies only serve to give air-time to the candidates who will otherwise, never get to do public speaking - that applies to both PAP and non-PAP candidates. And I feel, many of them cannot speak properly to save their lives.
