I'm grateful to all who voted for Singapore!

As much as I have been vocal and resentful of the arrogance of PAP leaders, especially that of Lee Kuan Yew, I have to give credit where credit is due. From the video below, we can see the difference of a man who 'was' and the man who has 'become'.

It's old (as in long, long ago) and it's 52:48 long but you'll be thrilled by the presence of familiar political faces and the hard facts from the man who was! His take on Goh Chok Tong's responsibility in locking up Vincent Cheng and so called 'Marxist Conspirators' and on religion and ISA is worth the time spent watching this video.

Today, we hear from new Education Minister, Heng Swee Keat talking about review of Mintsters' salary. Immediately after, PM Lee announced that a "Salary Review Committee" will be headed by Gerard Ee. If PM Lee is sincere in this project, he should co-op Low Thia Kiang, Chiam See Tong and even Nicole Seah to sit in the committee! Please not a 'wayang committee' filled by a bunch of 'what's-in-it-for-me', ball-less, 'fear-of-MIW' yes-men who are more concerned about their own well-being than that of Singapore!

Times - they are a'changing! As a 60-year-old-born-and-bred Singaporean, I have never been more exhilarated than on the early morning of 8 May 2011. With the 40% of votes going against PAP and the ascension of WP gaining 6 parliamentary seats through GRC in Aljunied and SMC in Hougang, I, my children and my children's children can look forward to a "Singaporeans' Singapore" instead of a repressive "PAP Singapore"!

If not for the brave, 'tak bolen tahan' can't-take- it-anymore 40% who voted for dignity, self respect, democracy and the good of Singapore, those millionaire ministers would still be resting on their laurels and treating us like dafts and kicking spurs on our butts as and when they like.

40% have voted with this message: "All I want to say is that they (PAP) don't really care about us!' [Link] & [Link] As much as we have heard from PAP so far, let's hope there won't be a repeat of 2006's sham of: "Let's Raise GST to help the Poor (Increase Ministers' Salary)".

Is it time for us to see SINCERITY replace ARROGANCE and SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS in PAP? Are we there yet?

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and if they don't learn now, they never will.

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?

Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?

Where have all the flowers gone?

Young girls have pricked them everyone.

Oh, when will they ever learn?

Oh, when will they ever learn?

"Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
chew me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me
Don't you black or white me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rapin' me of my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free"
