It that time of the year liao. Bonus period. How is your looking up?

I have just received a copy of a calender 2009 printed and published by the Town Council of Aljunied GRC. I was so elated that for this year, I have yet to receive a calender. When I called my friends in the business circle, I was told that owing to the economic downturn, it is a rarity to find a calender. I am so lucky! When I opened the pages, I realized that it was not only a calender but it also included photographs of all the MPs in the GRC. Every month has its flavour ie. an MP and it is repeated over and over again. How opportune! I was actually thinking of changing my dart board! Really saved my money! My conclusion is that it is can't be just another govt propaganda with the objective of prolonging its rule and to use it in preparation for any sudden snap election. I mean they won by a whooping 56.09%! Wp was crushed like a cockroach! Another question: As the Town councils are losing money in investments that have collapsed, why is the Town Council spending so much money on printing calenders? Going back to the last election, there were about 150.000 households. which means that the same number is printed, or even more.(complements to other fellow comrades) If they are not using the Town Council's money, I am touched all the 5 MPS made their contributions. They must really be filled in their coffers. Why not use it for the needy, the poor etc. especially at a time when the citizens are trying to recoup and even to the extend of begging for food to fill their stomach? Why? It is because our MPs are far sighted! They do not want us to develop a clutch mentality! Yes, its tough working as a cleaner, having to fight with FTs with half the pay, but I guess everyone is happy, because there is no protest outside the Istana/Parliament house! Majulla Singapura! Thank you PAP for more Good Years!
