妹妹，别急。

慢慢说，什么事情都好商量。

Look, we all make mistakes.
At different points in life, we all judge... too quickly.
A switch flips, and before you know it, evil has been done.

What's worse, is that evil spreads like wild fire.

Let's all agree to disagree.
Don't be afraid to state your opinion or speak your mind...
but when people express otherwise,
or when they result to cheap insults because of the lack of a credible counter argument...
Please, please, please don't follow suit.

Please live and let live.
Please practice the grace that this person has clearly displayed the lack off.

This cycle has to stop.
The social media is powerful,
but it is also misleading.
160 character limits.
You only read headlines,
you only experience part of the story,
you only see a part of the picture.
And you draw a conclusion.

Don't.
Please don't.
The last thing we need, is angry netizens...

I have a point to make.
I'm not savvy when it comes to politics,
or how to govern a country.
I only know that hard, cold policies aside...
a little understanding and grace can go a long long way.

The GE can either unite us,
or divide us.
And at this point, I only see the division growing wider.
The poor are still getting poorer.
The needy, needier.
Who really cares about the next ten years,
when tomorrow is unclear?

Call me short-sighted.
But if the opposition, and the PAP....
set aside all their differences,
and for one day, left their political brains in the freezer at home,
and their mouthpieces on the dressing table...
and just did something as simple,
as watching "881 The Musical" together...
Singapore will have another century of brilliance.

If only.

Dear PAP,
dear Opposition parties....
I don't speak your lingo.
I only know how to sing,
and at the moment I'm really interested in coffee brewing.
But, perhaps if I could invite you all to my house.
Sing you a song, and have you drink a cup of coffee brewed by me...
maybe then we could have a hearty discussion?
And build a better tomorrow?

If the two sides are divided by opposing ideals.
Don't forget that you are united in your duty to this One country called Singapore.

Honestly, quite disheartened at the moment.


Chee Soon Juan spoke really well.
