Lost heart

The political scene is playing prime time drama with the recent very public announcement of the changes in the cabinet. I do not know what to make of it as of now. Motives are questioned- have the people finally been heard, how much was due to guilt and wanting to make amendments, how much was to appease the people and win back trust and loyalty?

Other questions that surfaced for me are, the effectiveness of pawns replacing pawns, what will be the real real changes? Are we just paying different people to do the same thing? What also confuses me is this, votes are counted, territories won and loss. Why have the people who won some of this places now given up on the people? I mean, we trusted you to serve for 5 years.. We took the fact that you will be capable of listening to our needs and implementing solutions for the betterment of our lives. Thats why you have won, that's why we have given you our votes!(or was it fear?)

I am disappointed that lesser opposition than I expected won. I am angry that people who won suddenly decide to give up on those who voted them in. I mean if you can't serve 5 years maybe it would be good to know that before we voted right?

Maybe some people worry for the health and capability of mr chiam and thus, he didn't win ( I say maybe). Now if we know the other party will also quit on us in a months time or something, maybe votes will be swayed and outcomes different right? Who will you stand for? The man who despite his poor health sincerely wants to serve for as long as he can? Or the man that promises to serve for another 5 years but quits once he won?

I thought my MM love my country so much he would serve for as long as he could (maybe as a volunteer you know? After all, I think he can afford the lesser pay) I thought that maybe my government would hear the people and take action and maybe give the ministers a chance to right the wrongs the committed while having a pay cut. But I thought wrong, they just find replacements. Yes maybe removing some of the people that the public has turn against help but it is after all the policies that are in placed that people really have difficulty accepting. Now, why are the policies so and who or what caused it?
