It seems to me that we are continuing to complain, just for the sake of it. The votes have spoken and changes will not take place overnight. The term is five years and even in the bipartisan US, it is only fair to give the first review of the newly elected President after 100 days. Even that is too short in my opinion.

Are we being difficult just for the heck of it now? I had GE fatigue two days before polling but I thought I could safely say that everything will return to normal onces the results are announced. But it seems to me that the complainant nature may be slowly evolving into irrationality. I read articles that say "I truly think the support for PAP is only 50% but this is not translated into votes because Singaporeans lack political courage".

Have you seen the courage displayed to the lead up of the elections? And I must say, for the first time embracing social media in an elections, PAP's graciousness to all the taunts online, no matter how unreasonable has been satisfactory. And knowing how social media can be poisonous for organizations, I think they have done a good job in coping with the backlash and criticisms.

The promise has been made and we just have to have faith that PAP will live up to its promise to the best of their abilities. I think the 7 new MPs from WP will also help to give us a strong voice in Parliament so fewer Singaporeans are left behind. But like every other commitment in life, it needs time to fulfill.

How about making our feedback all-rounded? Like start to really scrutinize media reports and let SPH / MediaCorp know that journalistic independence seems to be lacking. That we need deeper analysis and greater insights. We shouldn't need to turn to international media for that one powerful article which successfully captures the essence of what the future entails for Singapore now that elections are over.
