~ RALLY RALLY RALLY ~

Don't know how many people caught the national day rally last night.
Even though it lasted 3 hrs plus, I didn't really feel bored. In fact i was rather
interested in what PM Lee had to say next. Which is rather amazing considering
that i can't really last 1hr with my lecturers.

Must say that he's an engaging speaker and has touched on topics that
have been avoided in the past. Seems like a new start and lots of changes
to be implemented.

Then again, it could be the case of wanting to impress and to give people promises
when one takes over a new post. Also i was wondering, if the previous 2 PMs
hadn't been the ones to enforce certain policies and encouraged savings, would there
be anything there for the new PM to make use of to make changes? Guess it's just
good timing and all.

At least i can say he's made a good start. Hopefully his years in politics under the guidiance
of his father and pm goh would enable him to be a more efficient minister. After all,
he's quite people orientated so we can expect him to feel more for the people, but hopefully
he's also able to be firm enough to make proper decisions.

*.... lots to do, new hopes
how one man in the right position
can be able to change mindsets
and influence others.... *
