The girls had no school today because SCGS was being used as a nomination centre. They were pretty happy about the whole thing. I came home early around 12pm from counselling to find them glued to the tv, watching the special Nomination Day news coverage. I was like "HUH?! MY KIDS are following the politics in Singapore?!!". Every time, they cheered, I would rush to see what's happening, and only to see PAP of Tanjong Pagar GRC on tv. What? They are cheering for PAP?! I finally couldn't take it anymore and asked why they were cheering for PAP.
Me: Why you cheering for PAP?
Girls: What PAP?
Me: Those men in white.
Girls: What white men?
Me: No, no, men in white colour clothes.
Girls: Got meh? We are cheering for SCGS!
Me: SCGS?!
Girls: Yar, there, there! SCGS!
I turned and again only saw PAP of Tanjong Pagar GRC on tv. What SCGS?!
Girls: (pointing on tv) See, SCGS pillar. There, SCGS railing.
Me: *Speechless*
I knew SCGS was a nomination centre but I totally forgot that it is a nomination centre for Tanjong Pagar GRC too. Trust the kids to recognise the pillar, the railing of their school lol. I could hardly recognise anything amidst the sea of white.
Ok, so my kids aren't interested in Singapore politics and law :P, except for the enbloc law which they hate as they could potentially lose their home if 80% majority agreed to sell collectively the estate and they could force us (the 20% minority) to sell too regardless we want to sell or not. :( They have been following me round when I talked to residents in our estate about the enbloc - unfair conditions set out in the csa and the cons of enbloc.
