The upcoming election is steadily becoming one of those non-events in my life. I believe next Friday, I will just walk over to my daughter's primary school and cast a vote to keep PAP in power in my constituency. I suspect my wife, who is Malaysian turned Singaporean will do the same.
I have not always been such a big PAP supporter.
When I started out in the workforce, I was largely a victim of our foreign talent policies that made me compete against foreign engineers to earn my keep. In fact, for my first year in the P&G IT department, there were only 4 Singaporeans in our intake of around 10-15 and even HR was concerned. The ruling government under Goh Chok Tong did not even save me from victimhood.
I saved myself by asking my dad for $1,000 to start investing in the stock markets after getting my first paycheck....
