From whence I came? Here I am, Grateful!

We could have more opposition members in parliament but we have only 6. As far as I'm concerned I am grateful. Grateful for the following reasons:

1. The way the various oppositions spread themselves out in the various constituencies to fight at every GRC (except Tanjong Pagar) and SMC shows they got their acts right.
2. The hustings of the opposition parties put the miws on the defensive all the time and the many times PAP (especially MM & SM) shot themselves on the feet show that they have truly lost the ground.
3. The gay trick by Vivian Balakrishnan shows the kind of a man he is - a flaw in character.
4. The "regret and repent" will prove to be "jubilant and rejoice" if miw in PAP plays fair.
5. Young Nicole Seah asking PM Lee: "Who pays your salary, Who pays for upgrading? Who pays for 'Grow and Share?'" Ouch! Too bad PM could not do a "Chee Soon Juan" on Nicole like what Goh Chok Tong did when CSJ asked GCT of the money lent to Suharto. With Singaporeans no longer fearing PAP like dear Nicole Seah, the use of judges to intimidate with charges like defamation and the likes is coming to an end.
6. The loss of George Yeo and the ascent of "Kate Spade" Salah PeiLing and "Kee Chiu" ex-army Chief as MPs shows the stupidity of GRCs.
7. The racially blind erection of Michael Palmer as duly elected MP of Punggol East goes to prove that GRCs were created to protect PAP's turf and not to protect the minority.
8. I'm grateful to see if PAP through Lee Hsien Loong will say what they mean and do what they say. I will have the chance to see if saying "Sorry" was just another trick to buy votes.

Even as we will miss our "Son of Singapore" Mr Chiam See Tong in this coming parliament, I'm grateful to know that he is more loved by Singaporeans for his gentlemanly demeanour, his fortitude, for his love of Singapore and Singaporeans. Without doubt, Mr Chiam has put a political thug, a ruffian leader of Singapore to shame.

Of course, I am grateful, I'm most grateful that I live to see 6 opposition members in Parliament in 2011.
