whatsup!
Okie I am in the midst of finishing up my man A project and I would like to comment on some interesting observations on the elections 2 days ago which apparently was also my birthday, wonder whether the men in white will consider granting me more EPS or ERS shares considering that my birthday fell on such a ‘historic day in Singapore history’, I shall continue:
(i) WP Low Thia Kiang managed to retain his Hougang seat despite the men in white desperate attempt in dangling their $100 million upgrading package in front of the voters face. Low did not only retain his seat but increased his percentage of shares up to 66% which undoubtedly is the best performer among all the opposition. Conclusion: my fellow countrymen can think after all. I have to give credit when it’s due.
(ii) Surprisingly AMK was the biggest jaw dropper of the night. I was quite surprised by the performance of our PM in his constituency. Logically I would have expected a higher percentage of votes simply because PM is running for it and naturally this would also be an indicator of the people’s confidence in his leadership. But horror of horrors was that they managed only 60 plus percentages of votes as compared to a relatively ‘unknown’ team from WP. I wonder what will actually happen if they actually lost AMK? Would PM be stripped of his post?? I can’t imagine what the consequences will be?
(iii) The media’s obvious biasness to a certain political party. Take a glimpse in Channel News Asia website and you will be bombarded by a certain political party news and information. The win by the opposition was accentuated in such small fonts that I had to double search before I found the link to that particular site. Besides that, words used to describe PAP win range from ‘PAP won opposition with wide margin’ but when it came to the oppositions percentage increase of votes from last elections, the phrase used was something along the lines of a ‘slight increase’ -even the percentage was well over 10.
(iv) WP performance in Aljunied GRC. I must say that the hot spot of Singapore elections this year was in this particular constituency. This was a true test of the government’s mandate from the people. I am satisfied that despite all the carrot dangling and visits from certain important political figures, the opposition still managed a 44 percent of overall votes. The slight win of 6 percent goes to show that the people can think after all.(refer to point 1) and that people still wants a balanced representation in parliament.
Okie enough for today, I will carry on part 2 later.

the reason why spore is so economically strong is becox of foreign investments, we cant rely on natural resources like other ctys i.e. Aust,our economic strength can easily be wiped out by the price competitiveness of ctys i.e. china, india, etc.
Further hving racial riots (a repurcussion of a free media), etc. will defer such foreign investments. e reason why investors invest in spore is becox we are safe, stable, hv a gd legal system & impartial.
this is all thks to the PAP.i m not takin e risk nor the chance of leaving the future of spore in a party like WP tt isnt credible, they hv some pretty gd ideas, but wats the use of brains if they use hv no qualms in using underhand mtds?
ngiap u may say u didn't expressly called us stupid, but yr implied message is super loud.
