A friend has this to say of me: Osman, why are you so outspoken with your politics? Just be quiet lah. Then when the time comes, just go and contest. You will attract more enemies when you are outspoken as not all will agree to what you think. My answer is this: Bro, you want me to keep silent and quiet then when election time comes, Il just contest? That is easy bro. But I dont want to cheat the feelings of the voters. They must know where I stand on certain issues. You want me to be like those whom the PAP select to be a candidate and we dont know where they stand on issues that matters? And after gaining their parliamentary seats, they disappoint voters big time when they are too meek to voice out your concerns? No I am not going to do that. Il allow ppl to assess me so that they are well informed of who they are voting for and what I stand for. I cant get everyone to agree with me but generally, the voters are smart enough to evaluate whether they will be better supporting me or those whom they know nothing about. We have seen how disappointing the Malay PAP MPs are. Having good jobs and education, we thought they are able to represent the interest of the community. We thought that their silence before elections is poise and grace. Only during their terms in office do we know the actual truth. Thats 5 years wasted on electing ineffective leaders. We should seek out these ppl to engage them on issues concerning the community so that we can better evaluate these candidates and where they stand before giving our precious votes.
