Sooooooo wrong...

I only got 2 predictions right BUT I'm glad I was right that their total percentage fell. This fall would be good for the nation. Why? Mainly because the PAP know they cannot afford to be complacent and ignore the voices of the people anymore.

The fall of Aljunied GRC is of significant importance. Despite having George Yeo, Lim Hwee Hua and Zainul Abideen as main weights, it was still won by the Worker's Party. This shows that the PAP is not as impregnable as they were in the past. Their GRC strongholds can be breeched. They can be taken apart.

This victory for Worker's Party is also a statement of intent. It shows that they aren't going to hide in Hougang forever. They have what it takes to expand and with this victory, their ability to recruit quality will increase. Come next election, there will bound to be even stronger candidates from the Alternative parties.

PAP has realized this is a sign of things to come if they go on stuffing policies down our throats with no regards to our thoughts and behaving all high and mighty. They know they cannot afford to jalan jalan on our faces for the coming years and if they continue to do so, it would be downright foolish. The figures are there. They don't have many victories greater than 60% for many of the GRCs. They can even be considered lucky to scrape through with a couple of SMCs. If they forget that this victory was hard-worn, they can be sure the next election will see them lose even more.

I respect the fact that Hsien Loong kor kor apologised. In fact it could have been his apology that saved his party but it remains to be seen if they have learnt their lesson.

That aside. I still CANNOT FATHOM WHY MAH BOW TAN IS STILL IN PARLIAMENT!!! I wonder if those voters in Tampines who voted for him realise that this was the chap who made our houses insanely expensive. The chap who is making many spend half their lives paying for their houses and still claiming they are affordable. I can accept that people like Lui Tuck Yew and Charles Chong are still in parliament but I don't understand why this champ is still in. UNACCEPTABLE! Now we might have to repent for 5 years for this. Thanks for screwing up the plan.

As for Tin Pei Ling, I'll just watch how the world tears her to shreds. Somehow I think its 70% her and 30% Nicole that Ah Goh didn't get a firm victory. Maybe Hsien Loong bro placed her there to sabo Ah Goh, tongue-in-cheek style. Ah Goh was definitely not pleased. I won't be surprised if she is removed and a by-election takes place with George Yeo taking over. May the drama begin...
