A wise move

I said before that it is possible for the oppositions to win two GRCs and that the PAP also thinks so and is prepared for it. The recent announcement that nine seats will be given to the oppositions seems to support my view.

This is a wise move. It helps PAP MPs and Singaporeans to psychologically prepare for it and the PAP to save face if the oppositions really win one or two GRCs. It could say 'we have anticipated this and reserved seats for them'.

The oppositions should not keep on harping about abolishing the GRCs. GRCs are necessary. The two WP MP and NCMP know very well in their heart that without the GRC minority candidates may not get elected. I have already elaborated on this in an earlier post.

One of the reasons why some people don't vote for the opposition is that the opposition doesn't have the strength or ability to form the government. These people do not agree completely with the PAP policies but they do not want to vote an opposition just for its own sake.

I would say the WP, for example, should make governing Singapore as its long-term goal and work towards it.

Homosexuality and Mas Selamat

Homosexuality
A manual in Aware's sex education programme for schools said that “anal sex is normal and healthy”. The anus is for us to excrete solid waste material. Putting your penis in a shit hole is definitely not normal and not healthy.

We can accept homosexuality and accommodate homosexuals but we cannot teach our pupils that anal sex is normal.


Mas Selamat
It was reported that our JI leader swam across to Johore. I wonder if this information came from his own mouth. It might be true. Or he might just be pulling our legs because it is not in his interest to let us know his method.

But of course it is also possible, notwithstanding his slight handicap and that he was not a good swimmer. We have heard how shipwrecked people survived for days floating in the sea without food. And there are handicapped people doing incredible things.

Aware, H1N1 and Complacency

In my view one good thing that comes out from the unsuccessful takeover of Aware – if there really are people in Aware who are trying to promote lesbianism or homosexuality, now they will not be able to do it. Hope that Aware will also be more vigilant about members making use of the organization to promote their own views whether on lifestyle, sexuality or religion.

Just like the escape of the JI leader and the Rojak food poisoning, this saga again reminds us not to be complacent and take things for granted. Maybe the old Aware leaders did not expect that there are people who will scrutinize their sex education programme.

Similarly we should not be complacent about the H1N1 virus too. When there are more information about the virus and scientists find that it is not too dangerous or does not spread easily, then we can relax a bit. Meanwhile we should practise good personal hygiene. If we are sick we should see a doctor and stay at home as far as possible so as not to spread our illness to others.
