Quote:She is 43 and today is the first time that she is voting in Singapore's General Election.

Local actress Wong Lilin shared in an Instagram post that she has little knowledge on Singapore politics.

She has been relying on social media posts and other Singaporeans to gain more perspective on the subject matter.

Today (Sept 11), on Polling Day, she posted a picture of herself walking to the polling station to cast her first vote.

She wrote: "Up until two weeks ago I've been largely apathetic to anything Politics. And that is unlike someone who usually cares a lot.

"I've been studying the candidates and parties. I hear my fellow Singaporeans on the street. I read the countless social media posts.

"I still don't know enough. But I do know I'm starting to care.

She admitted that two weeks was a short time to catch up on so much history.

She said that she hoped that she cast a "good vote" today.

"Thank you to everyone who has made it possible to provide another perspective, who cared enough to make a stand. Even questionable ones. For what are we if we can't question.

"I am frustratingly inept in forming solid opinion on whom to choose and what grounds I base my support on.

"Apathy and my resulting ignorance is a sorry affair."

Wong isn't the only celebrity who voted for the first time today.

Young actors Aloysius Pang, Shane Pow, Carrie Wong and Jayley Woo shared their thoughts on their new right with entertainment website Toggle.​
