I wanted to wash my car and drove down to the washing bay at the multi storey car park just now. A man was washing a merc there in the middle of the 2 washing bays. Stopped there & had a brief eye contact with him. Had to park at the handicap lot to wash instead. Took my pail to fetch water at the water dispenser. Obviously, he saw me but there was no response from him. I had to waste some water as my pail was not big enough for the flow duration (usually I would splash the car as the water flows) and had to carry the heavy pail of water from the soapy and wet bay he had created.

These few days I have seen many election posters being defaced by childish individuals, who might think that if they draw on a candidates' face or make fun of their names they would lose them a few votes and hopefully cause them to lose the election. Such immature behavior is happening on both sides of the divide, with opposition supporters defacing many People's Action Party (PAP) posters and PAP supporters responding in kind.

During the years under LKY and GCT, efforts were made to build a Singapore identity, multi racial harmony and a society with graceful habits befitting the status of a First World Nation. So where is the graceful 1st world society that Goh Chok Tong promise to build...a Singapore that is comparable to what the Swiss have created?
