Political Awakening in Singapore

The elections in Singapore has just passed.

The opposition (in particular the Worker's Party) has scored a blow to the ruling PAP party by historically winning a GRC and slashing PAP overall % win to just 60% on average.

All in all, this hotly contested elections has really indicated that Singaporeans are frustrated and willing to move on.

For me, I am really intrigued by the happenings in this elections: both by the fact that I used to work for XXX and the fact that I have never knew everyone to be so passionate about politics.

Its shocking and yet refreshing to hear the different views of my various friends and colleagues.
Is it really a political awakening for the next generation of Singapore?

When the dusk has settled, I am very sad that Mr George Yeo is leaving office after serving his very best for this country. I am also quite taken aback by the decision to revamp the cabinet by retiring MM, Mr Lee Kuan Yew and SM,Mr Goh Chok Tong. Is this really a time for them to go?

Whatever is it, it is a turning point in the pages of history in Singapore. May the man upstairs (whatever religion you are) bless us all while we move ahead in life...
