Thinking of the hot buttons while cooling off

Cooling off day... ha...

I was just wondering how some of the hot buttons, the ones who are now citizens, will vote.

There would be the FTs who have been in S'pore for ages, went through our education system, perhaps even went to the army, worked here for years, then became citizens. Then, there are the newer ones who hardly speak English and hardly mix with the born-and-bred people. And then there are those who don't even live here. Are people like Gong Li and Jet Li voting?

Somehow, I can't think of really good reasons why the latter groups would vote against the status quo. Will these people be the ones who make the difference?

I think Gong Li and Jet Li probably went overseas to avoid voting. I actually have come across more new citizens and PRs who support the opposition than otherwise and it doesn't surprise me, because really Singaporeans (the born and bred) are the only ones I know that would willingly accept one party rule.
