PAP Rally at Yio Chu Kang stadium

I attended the PAP rally at Yio Chu Kang stadium. The crowd looked quite respectable from a distance. The seated areas were mostly occupied, but the crowd in the field near the stage was rather small. The key draw of the rally was PM Lee Hsien Loong, who was seated prominently at the center of the stage.

I walked round the stadium to observe the people at the seated area. I got the impression, from the way they dressed and talked to each other, that they were members of activities groups sent by the community centers.

My suspicion was confirmed when a new group of people arrived. Looking at their ages, frail appearance and dialect speaking, they must have been sent from an old folks home. Here is a picture of the PAP supporters.


It must be great for them to have an outing, although they probably do not know what the event was for. Perhaps, we should hold the general election more frequently, so that these old folks have more chance to go for an outing.

Only their grassroots and own PAP members, and the ignorant ah um and ah pek from old folks' homes and social senior centres, who are gong gong thinking they are out for a social gathering,
with free chicken rice provided, go to PAP rallies.
Rest of citizens stay home watch TV or go attend Opposition Rallies.

Why the opposition party can not do the same. Organizing such an event not only show their PR skill, also provide a chance for them to show their oratorical skill. If they talk sense.
