election ended with a bang
The Singapore politics scene ends with a bang for everyone with the election ended. The usual PAP won. Everyone expect them to still be the government but perhaps a weakened one since the oppositions brought in many serious issues which was created by the PAP. While the GRC system was intended by the PAP to have teams of MPs which included minority race, many viewed it as a protecting system against opposition contest. All these changed when the Worker's Party with its 'A' team won a GRC. However the unexpected, in a sense expected the opposition stronghold lost. Potong Pasir was lost to PAP by a close hundred votes. It was Mr Chiam's mistake to put his wife in charge, in my opnion. And I would expect half the voters there wanted the PAP carrot and long for the return of abalone porridge. While most hard fought area all lost by the oppositions, the PAP votes all went down. Most PAP voters probably still wanted the PAP carrots despite whatever candidates being fielded. From the results, PAP now have a chance to buck up or they will fail more for the next election.
