Singapore Election 2011 Jokes

I would like to share some Singapore Election 2011 jokes.

Singapore polling day will be held on Saturday, 7 May 2011.

The list of parties involved in Singapore General Election 2011 is as follows:

1. PAP: People’s Action Party
2. WP: Workers’ Party
3. NSP: National Solidarity Party
4. SDP: Singapore Democratic Party
5. SPP: Singapore People’s Party
6. RP: Reform Party
7. SDA: Singapore Democratic Alliance


Humorous dialogue with each other.


PAP: Pay And Pay.
WP: Why Pay?
NSP: Never Say Pay.
SDP: So, Don’t Pay.
SPP: Still, People Pay.
RP: Regret Paying.
SDA: Stupid Damn A**.



PAP Vs WP Party Logos.


WP: We will use our hammer to knock down PAP.
PAP: Before they knock us down, our lightning will strike their hammer.
WP: This 2011 election, we are prepared. Our hammer is insulated.

(Note: PAP logo symbol is a lightning whereas WP logo is a hammer.)



Flying Kite at Election Rally Ground

Son: Dad, why is the opposition party flying kite with their banner at their election rally ground?
Dad: Son, you read about the famous inventor of the lightning rod, Benjamin Franklin. They want to avoid unnecessary lightning strikes. (Dad pointing to the PAP logo.)



Impossible Or Possible


Pessimistic Member: It's impossible to win PAP in the general election.
Optimistic Leader: It depends on your punctuation. You can change the Impossible to I'm possible. Remember US President Obama said, "We can change."



Repent


Messiah Mentor: If you vote for the opposition party, you've five years to live and repent.
Sinful Voters: If we vote for the Holy Trinity, The Father, Son and Holy Goh, can we have more days to worship you in the convention halls of commercial buildings?

Singapore Election 2011

This year there will be 82 out of 87 seats to be contested in this Singapore Election 2011. The ruling party, People’s Action Party (PAP) is not given the mandate to form the government as the opposition parties are out in full force this year and with higher caliber candidates. The election fever is rising. It will be an exciting time to follow the election campaigns. This year, many Generation Y Singapore citizens are eligible to vote. This group of citizens who are born in the prosperous years of Singapore and have not experienced much hardship as their parents may create a wild swing in the election results. Many Singaporeans will be glued to the television on Sat, 7 May 2011 to view the results.

How will the results be? Will the ruling party, PAP be edged out like the Japan’s ruling party, Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) which lost to the opposition party in 2009 after governing Japan for about 54 years. PAP has been the dominating party in Singapore since 1959. There are many possible scenarios. Any freak result will greatly affect foreign investments and financial markets. One of the factors affecting foreign investments is the political stability of the country. Our assets, jobs and families depend on the wisdom of the government to make decisions to protect our interests. A good and wise government will help us prosper.


There are already many interesting jokes, forums’ comments, poems, photos and videos circulating around the internet regarding this coming election. Never know that many Singaporeans are so creative to come out with such interesting articles.


I hope Singaporean will vote wisely and make their votes count. As for me, I will vote for the candidates that I think can best serve my constituency and for the country. The party’s brand is secondary.
