7 Essential Habits/Items of the Street- smart Singaporean attending an OPPOSITION PARTY ELECTION RALLY.
Point 1:
Since most of the venues available to the Opposition Party are grass patches, and the raining season has caused most fields to be badly flooded. Therefore, one can never wear a pair of sports shoes or leather shoes to such a location. Slippers and Sandals is the preferred choice. The muddy field is not the best path to walk on, let alone stand on for 3 hours. Slippers get stuck on the grounds as well. Please practice walking before attending. Point 2:
Go there in simple clothing, cheap ones if possible. Leave your Nike, Billabong, Armani at home. Wear your Hang Ten and Giordano. Your clothes are bound to get dirty from walking on the waterlogged fields. Bags are also not encouraged. Plastic bags are good enough. 
Point 3:
Bring along any cameras or video camcorders to take photographs and videos of the engaging and interesting snippets at these rallies. It happens only once every 5 years. Capture the moment.
Point 4:
Recce the area you are going before hand. Where is the nearest makan place, where is the nearest multi-storey carparks, as well as the nearest bus stops and MRT stations around. Transportation before and after the rallies are always packed. Knowing the short-cuts will be the best case scenario. Also, leave the venue between 2145 to 2155. Because you do not want to be stuck in human traffic jams.
Point 5:
Please bring along items such as a water bottle to quench your thirst for all the shouting you will be doing. Tidbits are also helpful, when the speeches gets boring, you at least have something in your mouth to chew. Remember to retain the plastic bag you brought along.
Point 6:
Bring along coins, preferably 20 cents if you have a few.
 Point 7:
Combine Point 5, 6 & 7. At the end of the rally, head to the nearest carpark, insert the 20 cents into the automatic water machines, contain the water in the water bottles and clean up before heading home. Throw away all rubbish at the end of the rally.
The above is a comprehensive guide to attending a political rally in Singapore.
