Of Winning & Losing

Aljunied had fallen (to the dark side). So has Hougang although that was never PAP's. As much as things are concerned, the ruling party still remains unchange.

Although it is to be expected, I can't help but to feel upset for the PAP team led by Mr George Yeo, Singapore's capable Minister of Foreign Affairs. Yes, I may not personally know him but I know of his contributions to Singapore and its society.

Not only did he lose his MP position, he also lose his position as the minister. And this is a huge blow to me, or rather us. I can only be heartened to know that his skills will always be in demand.

I wasn't this emotional when any elections are taking place in other parts of the world. Does that means I am really maturing to become a Singaporean who takes pride in our own well-being? Too bad many people still don't get the big picture.

The next election will be the new generation, including me, and I will of course, vote for the greater good. It's still too early to determine, but I really hope, for the sake of its own party, PAP will stand strong and continue to work for the good of Singapore. Please, do not forsake my firm support for the team.

But, remember, first and foremost, politics is mostly just a game. Sometimes you win a little, you lose a little.
