is to research on your candidates!
im watching the rally videos of the candidates running for Pioneer SMC now!
Mr Cedric Foo reigned my area (previously under West Coast GRC) for the past 10 years, but honestly for all the 10 years i've been here i havent seen him once.
he listed the things he's done for Pioneer for the past 10 years, extension of MRT lines into Pioneer and Joo Koon, Jurong Point extension, air-conditioned bus interchange, Jurong SAFRA, Jurong Central Park, Jurong West Stadium...
true lah, i really did see alot of developments throughout the years, PAP did make ulu land Pioneer less pathetic.
but hor, Jurong Central Park ended up as a hei hei park, i dont even dare to go. Jurong West Stadium was built cuz previously it was a ulu muddy swamp and nobody wants to buy those HDB flats opposite it, the Stadium was built to entice people to buy.
Mr Foo also promised CCTVs in all Pioneer blocks.
but hor, CCTV is already installed in my block, just recently. did he install half the blocks before he realised it can be used as a promise during the GE so he stopped installing the other half??
Mr Steve Chia is the new competitor. well, Pioneer was never contested as far as i know, so he can be considered new competitor in that sense.
i finally met Mr Chia this morning at the cross junction right outside my cluster or blocks, shook his hand. i also met Cedric Foo this morning but no handshakes cuz he was talking to an auntie and an angmoh (u'll be surprised to know tat more angmohs are living in Pioneer now).
anyways, Mr Chia looks like a spunky and energetic man, all sunshine smiley. he's been in politics for at least 10 years, never formally won a seat before but still full of passion.
he seems pretty enthusiastic in replying messages voters left on his fb page too. did i mention that he was an NCMP 2001-2006 as he was the opposition member who received the highest vote in 2001 GE.
BUT! if u remember, in 2004, a scandal broke out where his wife found naked photos of his maid in his recycle bin and allegedly lodged a police report. he admitted that he took those photos but that the maid consented to it, the police dropped charges as they found no crime committed.
he also admitted to reporters that he has an "interest in nude photography" and apparently even showed reporters photos he took of himself naked. omggggggg.
even after 8 years i still remember okay?? but why nobody asked him about it this time round?? but hor, apparently the votes he received in 2006 GE was up 5% despite the scandal.
sighhhh on one hand i dont really wanna get a h*rny guy into parliament, but then he seems like one of the more decent opposition member this GE and i also feel like boosting the opposition's votes for PAP to stop being so complacent and dictorial.
howwwwwwwwww?
