Information in this article is probably inaccurate due to the author's lack of knowledge.

While flipping through the papers a while ago, I came across a rather, um, eye-catching picture. I thought I saw a bunch of people in white campaigning for Nurse of the Year. What I was actually looking at was a bunch of people in white campaigning for the PAP. Which again got me thinking about the government. How convenient is it that they only jack up the benefits when elections are bearing down on us, and only after that can the PM declare that "now is a good time for elections"? And how convenient is it that only when elections are impending that a chinese show named "dialogue with the PM"(or something along those lines) decides to air itself on channel 8. Strangely enough, this young PAP might be a move towards getting closer to the majority of young voters in Singapore. Young in politics, however, means middle-aged in real life. It's one thing to start a government on the basis of ruling a country effectively. It's another thing to infuse it with pop culture. Soon, we'll have three PAP movies, PAP speaking action-figures, PAP lunchboxes, PAP cartoons, PAP logos on every product at a supermarket. Now how fun is that going to be?

I am going to resemble a zombie at school tomorrow. Then again, no one isn't going to recognise my face if it's face down all the time.
