And so it starts

Got this at Bishan MRT today.

Let's Do Politics!

Just like an anxious groom waiting for his bride, I'm sure many Singaporeans are waiting excitedly to play their part in nation-building. As an early-pioneer of the Gen Y pack, I'm also one of those "non-political apathetic youth" who's eagerly awaiting to put the tick in the appropriate checkbox on that sacred day.

But for those who've yet to make up their minds on whom they should support, why not try the word association method?

How to do it:

1. Write down the name of a SG politician (or wannabe)
2. Think of a word (or phrase) that you would associate with him/her
3. Write it down
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until the list is exhausted (or you get exhausted)
5. Determine if the word/phrase written is favourable to the ruling party or the "opposition". If you're old skool type, print the list out and ask your friend to mark for you.

I've put down the names of a few prominent politicians as examples, but you can make up your own list:

Politician	Word / Phrase	Favourable to:
Lee Kuan Yew	Beneficient	Ruling
Lee Hsien Loong	Respected	Ruling
Goh Chok Tong	Loved	Ruling
Mah Bow Tan	Adored	Ruling
Tin Pei Ling	Misunderstood	Ruling

So, if you came up with a list like the one above, your choice is clear right?

Have fun!
