A really Big Dilemma (Purely fictional of course)
I am in a Single ward, so it is a one on one fight. I am tempted to vote for the original because he helped me to get a PR for my wife and I also want upgrading for my home... But the big question will be that if the opposition come in, I will also have seem to have not voted for them. Now if this is the case, then will they come back and asked me why I did not vote for them??? It is quite an interesting question.... isn't it? Heee heeee....
Of course it is purely fictional as I will vote where my heart is and of course it will be a secret even to you guys. But seriously does it matter who comes in? We will still be taking our transport to work and also be living our lives in our dreary towns. Got upgrading? No upgrading? Got better transport or less price increase, it will always be cyclical. Yes, due to certain pressures, price will increase and sometimes this can be mitigated by gahmen measures, but seriously, will it really change?
What needs to happen is us. We complain of not enough schools and roads and so on. We talk about not enough space in MRT and so on, but it is all because we peg everything to profits. So of course to get the most bang out of what we have and also to be as profitable as we can, any enterprise will try to be as miserly about spending money and yet wanting more profits. Schools are being over-run by FT's.... well then we should build more schools. We have too much competition for limited jobs.... then create more jobs lor..... The opposition claims to want to take out reserves to give to our people, but then why draw down on our reserves? Why not open it to private enterprise where it will be profitable for all? For example schools.... I am not talking about those privates that are so posh that we need 5 figures to just go in... But a private school catering for students. Since it is a private enterprise, the gahmen should not need to invest too much. Just ensure that the proper codes of conduct and accounting measures come in. The school has to decide how many students it needs and how much fees to make it profitable. Then the number of teachers to give a good education so that the name of the school rises and more students want to enrol.
It is like roads and cars and so on. Build more roads? We already have too many roads. What we need is better infrastructure. Have a train station within 200m from your home and many companies providing different services. Loop lines, point to point lines and so on. Private enterprise will be left to find out its profit point and also its own value added service. Then you will see that it is so convenient that we do not need cars and are happy taking trains or buses.
How come I have to think about all these things??? Maybe I should be a politician??? hehehehehe
