the tv hype over
political elections lately.
08 has been a
good year for the
opposition parties.
one thing
that sets us apart from our
other democratic counterparts,
(other than that we hold the
Guinness Book of Records for the
largest Man-made Waterfall, among other
really important Records),
is that
our political lives
tend to be plagued by
walk-overs and elections as
exciting as channel8 dramas.
(read: bore.)
it is, then, a big mystery,
what really makes us democratic.
the hottest
political episode singapore has
seen of late
is the Steve Chia dude and his
kinky photography habits.
(sidenote: he does not belong
to the PAP.)
as i am entertained by
shrewd taiwanese politicians throw
chairs at one another in parliament,
and
presidential candidates diss one another
over who the heck
would pick the phone up at 3am,
i kinda wish
mainstream singapore media
had some of these fun to offer.
this is not to
discredit the pluspoints
of a stable political environment,
but things would surely be
healthier
if we were at least half the
democracy we claim to be.
still, it'll be a while till then
since we really don't have any
strong (not to mention, SANE)
opposition party
YET.
watch this if you bother to,
since you'll never see this on TV.
WAHAHA people actually call us
"irritating pimple that refuses to burst".
SO MUCH FOR NATIONAL PRIDE:D
