You are of the old generation who has been warned time and time again by the incumbents that alternative parties will destabalise the Singapore economy.
However young people now do not even care if alternative parties happen to destablise Singapore and change Singapore from a first class country to a second class country. This is because of their new liberal philosophies and their innate ability to take risks, not forgetting that they are fed up with PAP's glorious treatment of foreign talent which makes legitimate Singaporeans 2nd class citizens in their own country. And being young, they have the option to migrate.
If locally born youngsters are now 2nd class citizens in Singapore, then it would make no difference if they are 2nd class citizens in UK, Canada, US. (ps. not australia bec australia is a low class country).
Hence the young of the new millenium are not influenced by the threat that alternative parties will destabilise Singapore. The new young generation are willing to take a chance on alternative parties.
Australia low class ......yeah...did they reject your immigration application? ???

<!-- story content : start -->AS AN older citizen, I am uncomfortable about the presence of former government scholarship holders in the opposition.
To me, it seems as if they are abandoning their parents who paid for their excellent education.
Yes, one could argue that these candidates were in fact supported by taxpayers and will now serve all Singaporeans, and not only the People's Action Party.
But, are they really sincere about helping Singapore achieve a better society by joining the opposition?
Can they effectively check the Government or will they create more fighting or quarrelling like the parliamentary sessions in Taiwan?
Aren't there enough ways of giving feedback to the Government?
I can contact my Members of Parliament any time; I don't even have to make an appointment and can e-mail them when I need help.
It takes time to know these scholar opposition candidates and I wonder if I should risk the four to five years it will take to know such a candidate's ability, and compromise national progress.
A better answer for me is not to vote them in for this General Election and see if they continue contributing.
I would even apply my answer to the Workers' Party's star candidate, Mr Chen Show Mao.
I would like to see if he really relocates his family to Singapore, as he has told the press he would, if he fails to win the election.
A candidate like Workers' Party chairman Sylvia Lim is too academic for an average voter like me. She makes good speeches but rarely champions a voter's bread-and-butter needs.
A good MP to me must not only act as a check on the Government, but also serve the ground and offer effective solutions to the Government.
I would prefer a few good opposition MPs than many who are merely interested in the glamour of being in the opposition in Parliament.

Rhodes Scholars are not government scholars. Chen Show Mao was a Rhodes scholar and anyone who is smart enough will know that it is a scholarship which is offered by OXFORD, not the government. The money is generated by Rhodes Trust not Singaporean taxpayers. Oxford doesn't give a bunch of self serving twats scholarships.
So not to worry , Mdm Ho, we can see who fed you ....obviously you are that stupid and so is the person/newspaper publisher who posted your brainwashed letter.

Hi Mdm Ho,
I am not sure you heard the results for Aljunied GRC, since you only hear what you want to hear. Some people hear only good things, but you are even more selective. I just remembered your nice letter and hope you have the candidates that you like.
In the mean time, your PAP candidates will be able to respond to your emails more quickly quickly, since they are more free now.
Sincerely,
A jubilant, celebrating citizen.
