bro,I understand where you coming from and how you feel. I have mixed feelings for the results too(neutral supporter,see each candidate rather than party)

But may I suggest for Seiko Club Singapore,we keep politics out of these threads..kinda like race/religion etc.. there are many ppl having different views and opinions and if everyone come in and talk about such stuffs,there be flames throwing riao..



I knw ppl will say we should be transparent and voice things out as we want but since this is internet (Internet is serious business.. :lol: ) we also want to prevent things from going sideway rather than a safe haven for true Seiko watch collectors.



*anyway President Nathan is not politician,president cannot be member of any party before+after elected.



just my 2 cents and maybe roo roo can decide on this. :oops:

Ermm, if got Nicole Seah edition watch by City Chain can talk? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

+1 I share e same tinkin with oOsiMm bro as for this belly sensitive topic which nd to keep it out of SC threads...Many peepur hab diff. views and thinking for tis GE. Let us TCSS more on watches which we r keen on :lol: ...cheers... :D

I think as long as we are matured enough to understand each has his or her own view and that we shouldn't enforce our views upon others, then a healthy discussion can take place.



But then again, everything has been set in stone, so there's no point in flogging the dead horse. ;)

Woo!!!! Didn't know that it is sensitive and call this a political issue down here??I just publish the fact,its an eye opener to all and it's already been transparent all over... I'm trying to make this chit-chat room more interesting that's all by envy and dream to have such amount on our pay slip....lets be creative..... Enuf said I'm sorry if the topic is not appropriate down here, MOD, bro roo pls shut this thread, thanxs u and let's move on...................

It's ok if the discussion is healthy with respectful posts, unless if it turn otherwise, then we have to stop it.
