Before more people misunderstood "KVETCH" as a person name, perhaps I should explain the meaning a little.
Kvetch actaully meant to complain and whine. This blog named "Kvetch Haven" so that I can complain a little, whine a little about life. Of course, this blog will not be solely on constant whinning and complain.
Singapore General Election - 6th May 2006
whispered @ Monday, May 01, 2006 by stardusz
That is the day where I have to go and vote for a political party that I felt is able to provide us with a better future.
Since 27th Apr 2006, political parties have been actively campaigning for their own party. Delivering speeches on television and having rallies bombarding each other to gain more trust from voters.
The hot topic in this General Election should be James Gomez incident.
James Gomez of the WP has failed to submit his minority form to the Election Department. CCTV in the Election Department shows that Mr Gomez has filled up the miniroty form at the counter, put it into an envelope but instead of submitting the form to the staff, he placed the envelope into his bag. He then proceed to the reception area and the media interviewed him. The minority form is required if a candidate is contesting in a GRC (Group Representation Constituency).
After the Election Department confirm that Mr Gomez did not submit the form, members of the other political parties stepped forward and made many comments about Mr Gomez and the party he is from. Suddenly there is a confusion clouded in me; is it an election of a party or an elimination?
This incident spur some sparks in this coming election. But I felt that the participating parties should not focus so much on this incident, give him a benefit of doubts and move on. Political parties should focus on what they would do for their constituency should they won the election instead..
I am going to vote for the first time, I want to know what they want to do for us and if that is appropriate and is that really a need in my area.
