Saturday 7th May- Polling Day. We both arrived at Polling Station at 8.20 a.m. Chestnut Drive Secondary School to cast our votes. The staff on duty were very friendly. After checking our identity and polling cards, we were directed to the Express Lane reserved for senior citizens and the handicapped. We were then taken by a lady officer to the desk to for registration, then to the polling booth. Everything was very well organised. We cast our votes, for which party? Sorry we cannot tell you as the vote is secret.
We did not stay up the whole night to hear the results. Early the next morning at 5.00 a.m, our usual time for waking up, we heard the results over BBC. The results were as most Singaporeans had expected - the ruling party to return to power with a credible opposition. Now that election is over, we hope and pray our people will get back to work, support the Government and be loyal to our nation.
We felt sorry for two people - George Yeo the Foreign Minister, a very gracious man. He will be hard to replace. The other is Chiam See Tong a great man who truly loves Singapore. I really admire these two gentlemen. Singapore is proud of them. May God bless and comfort them.
