Dear James,
Thank you for your sharing. This May 7th's GE will be a watershed one. However, with 82 parliamentary seats are contesting out of 87. More Singaporeans worry about voting for the Opposition might result in a 'dangerous' freak outcome where the PAP is left hamstrung in government, or even no longer in charge of Singapore. But many others, they believe that it's important to trim the excesses/fats of the PAP and change its arrogant attitude. The check and balance is crucial and for the general good of people. They argue that the infrastructure and civil service belong to people of Singapore not PAP, in which the PAP can not take away. With that, they are fairly confident that Singapore can carry on the business as usual. Moreover, when the opposition forms a coalition government, some of the 'YES' men/heavyweight ministers in PAP will jump ship, and they can be recruited to join the new government. So the issue of a collapse of PAP should not cause a great concern.
We, the ordinary/loyal citizens of Singapore(loving Singapore is our second nature) can only hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
May God bless Singapore and all Singaporeans always!
Michael

Every great country in the world goes through periods of political upheavel and i think all singaporeans should brace ourselves for a period of turmoil. We gave to grow up some day. NO ONE IS INDISPENSIBLE. We;ll be fine without PAP or even George Yeo.
Life goes on, the right people will emerge when the time is opportune. Don't worry, do the right thing on 7 May 2011. There has never been a better time.
