Why is it that today is declared as a school holiday, a day off for the school kids, and not a public holiday? What has the kids got to do with polling day on Saturday? They are below the age of 21 and were not involved in the voting process! So what if their schools were being used as polling stations or counting centres. The kids were already given a half day on Friday! Ok fine, 1 point for the school teachers and staffs. And another 0.5point to them so that their parents do not need to wake up early to send their kids to school.

However, we adults were the one who had to read up and research on the contesting candidates, watch the rallies or the biased news and make a decision on who we want to cross on. It's an important decision to make as it could change things, like how we, the people of Aljunied GRC helped to make history with the Workers Party winning a GRC, a 1st for the opposition. That's 1 point for us. And we had to stay up till late to watch the results. That's another point for us. So that's 2 points for us, adults, and 1.5 points for the school kids.

So where's our public holiday??? =(
