Election "Cooling of Day" - Cool?
-
Election period going to be 10 days for Sinkies to Think and Worry (cool of day)...whether WE vote for the right party!
Singaporeans will get an extra 'cooling-off' day at the next General Election, a 24-hour period during which campaigning will not be allowed so that voters can reflect calmly on their decision.
In announcing the change, which will also apply to the presidential election, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the idea had been on the table for many years.
The decision to finally go ahead comes in the light of another significant set of changes to the election rules he proposed months ago.
-
frankly, you think for one moment it's going to affect anything?
if not, don't need to KPKB about it right?
-
The problem is another 24 hrs to KPKB, complain about Government, unhappy with this and that but on polling day Sinkies still vote for the ruling party... Hai?!
-
i take offence with you referring to your fellow Singaporeans as "Sinkies"
have you no pride in your own country?

TS is a sinkies too??? -
it's sad he's been caught, hook line and sinker by the naysayers and those people who cannot differentiate between the country itself and the abhorrant politicians out there
how sad so many have sunk to such levels... even when they profess that they sink their roots here... yet sling so much mud that they if they try to wash it off, it'll just choke the sink...
oh well... sink or swim.. it's our country...
i choose to swim...
-
when election is near..
Lots of carrots will be given to everyone
-
so this cooling off period is just As Simple as it sounds?
oh, in that case, does it mean 1 day less of campaigning allowed out of the total number of days initially meant for campaigning?
If so, i pitty the opposition as they may have less time to rally.
-
meanwhile, before election announced, can PAP continue more and more grassroots activities ? Wow, won't residents be so happy?
-
If you think today voters are just a bunch of hot blooded fools, think again. If you think internet is something you can ignore, think again.
-
i have yet been given any chance to vote in my life....
all those walk over....
-
Haha.. Tricky Dick is at work here.
Everybody will have to shut their mouth on that day... or face fines / imprisonment, except for The Straits Times...
..which will have articles singing heavenly praises about their puppet master, the MIW.
You have to admit it, the MIWs are forward planners... and will do anything to win an election / keep their jobs.
Afterall, they have to protect their Million $$$$ salaries, you know.

I also think there is more to it than meets the eye with this change.
Remember, there is no free lunch.

This PAP is so insanely hell bent on staying in power.
Whenever they see a threat to their position in elections, they will come up with some small trick to stifle the opposition and to make sure they still have upper hand in elections.
Really a bunch of political cowards this PAP.
Never dare to play fair.
Media all under their control, they will use the one day "cooling" day to bombard public with their fucking propaganda, praise themselves, attack opposition.
Brainwash peeople go vote for them.
Bunch of motherfuckers, these PAP bastards.

How much influence can be manipulated in 24 hours? By now you people would have already made up your minds ,it too late for any more PAP stunts.Their fate is sealed.

I didn't know about this earlier...
Just read a post in another forum that Braddel Heights, which is in the middle of Serangoon, is a part of Marine Parade GRC.
It makes you wonder what the MIW will come up with next...
Jurong West become a part of Tampines GRC ??
It's PAP logic... but generally, it is called Gerrymandering :
