Elections 2011: The Elections are over… Now what?

What now? Where do we go from here?

I’m tired of talking about partisan politics, and I’m sure you’re tired of hearing about it- so let’s not go there.

I want instead to talk about the sense of community that has gripped Singaporeans in the past month or so. I think it’s no exaggeration to say that some of us have never felt more Singaporean in our entire lives.

There was only ONE walkover. That’s progress.

Let’s all stick together, keep communicating, look out for each other and help to build this country into something we can all be proud of- not just politically, but in every possible sense. Keep your heads held high and your heart beating strong.

We are a nation- a community- independent of the government, independent of any political party. Singapore is but a collective of every imaginable sort of relationship between each and every Singaporean- and in these few weeks I have felt honoured and privileged to be a part of it all.

Majulah Singapura.
