As the incident is being continously blown up, with words of "Liar!" and "Cheat!" and "making a molehill out of a mountain" flying between the parties, elections are getting more and more exciting!

Well, its not everyday that we can see wayang shows in the Singapore politics scene, which are just short of exchanging blows (aka Taiwan Parliamant), where politicians criticise contesting parties like they are murderers. Haha.

When a particular politician went to a certain place to meet residents to try to win votes, the news reported that no resident asked him about the incident which happened recently. So the claim was that the people of Singapore have already understood what had happened.

I wonder has it occurred to him that the reason why no one asked anything is because we (hmm..maybe only me) do not find it as important and as serious as what they made it out to be? Has it occurred to them that perhaps they are about the only people in Singapore who are creating this mountain out of that molehill?

On the other hand, I wonder why the national newspapers have to specially put up one BIG page on the ruling party talking about the incident and how he should be sued and sacked and whatever.

Also, the news kept saying that whether the citizens of Singapore support him or condemn him, we shall wait for results on Polling Day. Given their reputation, I wonder why they can't do a survey on it or grab some people on the streets to ask them instead of waiting for Polling Day results?

(Perhaps they are afraid that everyone they asked did not think of that mistake as something major, thereby after that they have nothing else to report on?)

Perhaps I'm thinking too much, but the posters put up by the ruling party looks weird, especially the one with The One smiling happily and sticking his palm out in the "air". Weird as in...hypnosis effect or something......
