[h=2]GE2015 – Vote what you think is right[/h]

Hsien Loong made a passionate plea that he did everything that is right for
the good of Singaporeans. Singaporeans may disagree with his policies but he did
it in all honesty, for the good of all Singaporeans. The people may continue to
disagree, continue to be angry with his govt’s policies, but what can the people
expect of the govt? How can they expect the govt to reverse course, to do things
they, as the govt, think is wrong, not right? The govt, in all honesty, can only
do things that the govt thinks is right. Tiok bo?
I just cannot imagine the govt starting to do things the people want and
knowing that what the people want is wrong. It cannot be. So, what would the
govt do after the GE? Would it continue with all the right policies, like more
foreigners, more scholarships for foreigners, more good jobs for foreigners,
more CPF locked up, more MediShield Life, more affordable housing, more public
transport and less car ownership, higher ministerial pay, signing of CECA and
more FTAs….? These are the right policies, and must be the right policies, and
the govt honestly and sincerely believe are the right things to do.
It is just like people believing in their religions and their gods. Every
believer sincerely and honestly believes in his God and religion as the truth,
the right thing to believe. But being a democratic and multi-religious country,
we also believe that everyone has the right to believe in his God and religion.
The believers may disagree with other believers but never mind, you follow what
you want to believe and what you think is right.
The people cannot expect the govt to believe in what the people believe is
right. The people can believe in their own rights and choose to vote the people
and parties that share the kind of right things they believe in. The govt does
not force you to believe in what it thinks are the right things to do. In a
democratic system, if you don’t agree, just vote them out. But if you vote the
current govt back to power, the govt will continue to do what it thinks is
right. That must be the case.
So, what should the people do? There is no need to get angry just because
what the govt thinks is right is not what you think is right. You can vote
people or parties that agree with what you think is right. It is unimaginable
for any political party to do the wrong things, to do things they think are
wrong. The people must be reasonable and logical. The voters should go to the
polling station and calmly vote for the party that shares their belief and their
God, sharing what they think is right and what they think is not right. The
people cannot force a govt thinking it is doing the right thing to do the wrong
thing.
Vote for what you think is right. The govt is right to do what it thinks is
right. You don’t have to agree. No need to be angry. Vote with your heart and
your head, vote honestly for your own good, not what other people think is good
for you, unless you think you are stupid and other people are smarter than you
and know what is right and good for you.
Think very carefully in this GE. It’s now or
never.
