What did Zhao 11 say about voting?

Zhao 11 aka Shiu Hei recently gained the limelight on National Geographic magazine front-page, but that does not distract him from being "always neutral". In effect, one of his latest commentaries -"General Elections: Who to Vote For?"- has effectively demonstrated his "neutrality" in the sense that his stand remains inconspicuous in his essay.

However, individuals are not allowed to exercise neutrality when it comes to election. Every citizen has to make a decision by voting for one of the candidates, or giving up his ballot.

There is a breach of author's neutrality nevertheless. He says "Although they may not have results as glamorous as the PAP, they have put in effort to prove themselves nonetheless." This is rather a slanted account which is in favour of the opposition parties. Even though that is true, opposition parties are still far from being comparable with ruling PAP. This, apart from PAP's past achievements, as the author suggests, is partly because they are fettered by "opposition party" mentality, which means these opposition parties do not prove to be alternatives to PAP. Rather, the very basis of their existence is to oppose, or euphemistically, to check the government.

Furthermore, he poses a question to Singaporeans- "Will the PAP continue to do well even when they have introduced young and fresh faces as candidates?" The phase in the context, "Will [they] continue to do well" implies his doubt towards the ability of the young generation of PAP.

In short, the commentary is quite comprehensive and it has shown that the author is following the development of the events of General Election closely. This suffices to be impressive, especially when the author is a foreigner who is not obligated to vote.
