why is it that the opposition parties keep complaining that things are difficult for them? the most heard complaint is dat the grcs are too big. and wp proposed that grc to be scrapped. and sda says it should be smaller, like 3-man grc.

the issue whether grc is effective or not is debatable. but i think the opposition should face the simple fact. that things will always be difficult for them. that to win votes is not that simple. that the world is unfair.

to get into the parliament is difficult. but it's a greater challenge to run singapore as an mp. cos the world is unfair to singapore and that's a fact. we are a "little red dot", with nothing but human resources. and to remain a red dot on the map, or be a bright red dot, is a daunting task. a task more daunting than fighting a 6- or 5-man grc.

think the opposition should grow up, and face these 'obstacles'. when faced with stiff competition from neighbours with cheaper labour costs and more resources, does the incumbent complain and request that labour costs increase? or does the incumbent go around saying that the northern govt is corrupt and is covering up for the crime rates?

like wat mm lee said, we deserve a first world govt. winning a grc is nothing compared to governing a country. if the opposition cannot even find 6 good men to fill up forms properly, how can we trust them to run our lives??

pls let me live a good life for the next five years.

btw mika brought up a good point. the opposition seems to have missed out some big issues, like the IR issue.
