The next General Elections would be held after Singaporeans are hyped up thru the 50th National Day celebrations.
The Celebrations would be paid for by state funding, but the feel-good factor would be harvested by the PAP to build up support for the Party.
Typical of them, making use of State activities for their own political ends....... Damn you, PAP......

SINGAPORE: The committee in charge of Singapore's Golden Jubilee celebrations has promised Singaporeans a string of exciting events next year when the nation marks its 50th year of independence.
The theme of the celebrations is for all Singaporeans to celebrate as one people, the SG50 Programme Office said on Tuesday (June 3). The focus will be on celebrating shared values, affirming aspirations and committing to a brighter Singapore.
In the spirit of getting Singaporeans involved, some events have also incorporated ideas from members of the public.
More than 11,000 ideas over a span of two months were submitted to the SG50 Committee. Of these, the SG50 committee identified over 1,400 proposals that could be incorporated into the national celebrations.
Fourteen proposals have also qualified for the SG50 Celebration Fund, set up to encourage Singaporeans to initiate and drive their own ideas for the celebrations. Each proposal can receive up to S$50,000 in funding depending on the scale and scope of the proposed project.
Education Minister Heng Swee Keat, who is the chairman of the SG50 Steering Committee, said: "We want the 2015 calendar to be wide-ranging so that it caters to different segments of society."
The celebrations will kick off with the year-end countdown party at Marina Bay and continue through 2015 with the SEA Games and National Day Parade as key highlights.
