Ways to enjoy this coming General Elections

[IR123]

The General Elections, it appears, is coming.

After being in this forum for a while, I get to understand and form my conclusions about the PAP, WP, SDA, NSP and RP.

I have already decided who I will vote for.

Having made my decision, there is no longer any need to agonize over the vote.

I will spend the General Elections by enjoying the pomp and fury of the campaign speeches.

How about you?

What will you do to enjoy the General Elections, an entertainment that comes every 5 years?

I would grab my Nikon SLR and grab pics of Opp rallies a la Yawning Bread and post them here during the 9 days plus cooling off.

That's a good idea.

I will probably join you in shooting photos and blog about it.

What coming GE? There'll be no GE until 2012. Mark my words.

It'll be end 2011 nomination and campaigning with polling in early 2012.

Alternative parties rally are always very exciting and interesting unlike PAP which is predictable followed by SHIT TIMES singing for them the next day.

The true enjoyment comes when PAP lost big with all their key people - MBT, GKY, CC, LHL, LBH, LSS, WKS, LT Yiu, Shamugan all defeated with pants down.

I will apply one week leave to celebrate with my family, friends and even host a free dinner at some hotel restaurant. The whole week will be partying and thanking god for saving the people from further miseries.

God can do much if people just sit around and do nothing to make it happen..

Remember what originally PAP stands for?

Think the election won't be till a year later.

 

[Sideswipe]

I can't do much to help our oppositions expect vote for them and provided there is no walkover in my SMC ( CCK ) and provided that SMC still exist in the coming GE.

I heard 'top level' people said get ready for GE soon.

Is it because they believe in their own lie that time is ripe, economy is on the up?

Singapore unemployment falls as new casinos hire

AP - Friday, January 29

SINGAPORE – Singapore's unemployment rate fell sharply in the fourth quarter as the developers of two casinos set to open soon in the city-state began hiring.

The unemployment rate was a seasonally adjusted 2.1 percent in December, down from 3.4 percent in September, the Manpower Ministry said in a statement Friday. The jobless rate was 2.5 percent in December 2008.

The economy added a net 38,700 jobs in the fourth quarter, boosted by retailers hiring more staff for the busy Christmas season and the two new casino-resorts, the ministry said. The services sector added 32,100 jobs, construction gained 4,700 while manufacturing gained 1,400.

Malaysia's Genting and Las Vegas Sands are together investing more than $10 billion to open the country's first two casinos during the first half of this year.

The government expects the projects will employ about 35,000 workers and add up to 1 percentage point to gross domestic product growth.

The economy added 38,800 jobs last year, led by 56,100 in services and 25,200 in construction. Those gains made up for 43,000 manufacturing job losses.

Gross domestic product expanded 3.5 percent in the fourth quarter from the same period a year earlier. The government expects the economy to grow up to 5 percent this year after shrinking 2.1 percent last year.
