Why I will go through the hassle

of registering to vote as an overseas voter AND cast a vote for the Opposition.

1. Always for the underdog, man.
2. GRCs are silly.
3. Elections in Singapore are a farce, so might as well play along?
4. I don't like casinos.
5. The Opposition Guy I voted for in the last election didn't get enough votes to get his deposit back.
6. I don't like those glossy PAP posters that go up immediately on Nomination Day: they must prepare them in bulk for everyone, whether or not the Constituency is being contested.
7. I disagree with a vision of society that's based on crass materialism.
8. I feel for the marginalized.
9. An effective way of irritating your friends and relatives.
10. I remember Francis Seow and and 1987.

Anyway -- my constituency -- which used to be a Single Member thing has been consumed by the GRC system -- so probably no chance to vote anyway.
