Is a general election this year now confirmed?

Look at this screen shot from 9:36 pm, Thursday, 19 February 2009. When I saw it, I called Choo Zheng Xi of The Online Citizen immediately and he got exactly the same page, so that I have a witness. He took a screen shot too.

What about it? Look at the page title -– it says "General Election 2009". The contents though are from 2006. Ask yourself: Why would a page from 2006 carry a title that references 2009?

Recommended by at82: "Holding an election now can only mean two things: Either the People's Action Party wants to ride a "flight to safety" effect to sweep all opposition away, regaining a monopoly of parliamentary seats -- a most undemocratic motive, if you ask me -- or the government has no confidence at all that the economy will improve by 2011. The latter will mean a very long and painful recession."

After siphoning billions into their own pockets, now the Lees are using this one in a lifetime opportunity to put the blame the losses of Temasek and GIC on the economy. How brilliant!

One wonders how much has been sent to the Swiss bank??

If PAP is confident that the economy will recover like what they claim, then definitely the election won't be held this year. But it looks like Singapore will never recover from this financial crisis.

As a voter, the choice is in your hand. Change is possible. Remember Obama?
