    • Will you watch the youth olympics? I would rather watch the special olympics, especially the wheelchair basketball.

      I mean what do you think will happen in 2010. Elections, Economy, Standard of living. Trends etc.

    • the Youth Olympic is going to be politicised in PAP's favour if the election is held in 2010.

      On the cyber politic front, the government will surely study the impact of it in Malaysia and use it to its advantage. It is not likely to ban it, given how things are shaping and how bad China looked when it attempts to censor internet sites, etc. now. It will also place considerable resources to over represent itself on the net. that I am pretty sure.

      And my other guess is, things will pretty much stays the same. PAP will steamroll the election by whatever means, people with a voice will still be sidelined and opposition will not gain much foothold. If anything else, Potong Pasir will be there for the taking as I don't think Chiam can maintain his ward. It is a case of spirit is willing but the flesh is not.

      Singapore is at least 10-15 years away for any meaningful political revolution to happen.

    • so oppositions must start to work harder if they want to win more seats, else we voters can't help them also if they dont want to project themself as a  credible force

      They can't do anything much for sgforums, because it is based in UK, except employ some clones to disrupt here.

      The IR and Circle Line will definitely be in the books too. Both are slated to have full completion at a time period quite close to the next GE too.

    • Leong Sze Hian, Wang So Say, activists like M Ravi, Chia Ti Lik, Seelan Palay, Ng E Jay, should come out and contest. It does not matter if they lose, at least ppl will know them and another few GE, they will get into parliament if they persevere

      don't just read in a cursory manner, next time. as they say, you missed the moon-dancing bear right in front of you because you were looking elsewhere.
