Today mark the change in Singapore politics, worker party has won a GRC and continue also continue to hold on to its current SMC. The Ajunied people has made us proud today as they have come together and made a decision to elect the opposition party into Singapore Parliament.
Kudos to Low on his strategist to place the best of his party together to complete for the same GRC, in the past most party will place one general in each GRC and ends up not wining any. From this day it appeared clear to Singaporean that consolidate and focus is the key to win.
Congrats Worker party and thank you the people of Ajunied.
Most countries has only two party systems such as Japan, USA, British, Malaysia etc.. Singapore however has 6 opposition parties. It time to consolidate, dismiss the weaker parties and gather the talents. Parties such as SDA, SPP, SDP should be disband. They have never got themselves close to a 44% vote, and they use dangerous topic to garner votes, topic that will weaken Singapore economics. Topic that were not seriously thought through, topic such as IR is bad for Singapore ... IR is good for Singapore but bad for gambler, as gambler they are always the problem, it just that now there is a direct channel to seek answer to gambling problem. And SDA use it as a chip to gain voters.. that didn't got my vote, they feel frustrated and probably don't even know why they fared so badly.
Chiam lost was expected, I never question the sincerity of his heart but I question the reach of his arms. He should retired with high respect.
Nicole Seah was very impressive, I have said she will not win this election against our SM Goh and SM Goh still comand much respect among the middle and older generation, but by next election she is still under 30, and many of the Gen Y would not know SM Goh achievement, she may be the next Ajunied. But first you got to remove the current NSP chief. If she were to contest for Tampines this year, I guaranteed Marble Tan to lose (anyway he had lost once to Chiam See Tong). One advise to NSP Tony Tan, Do not speak with too much emotion as it will appears that you are upset and your agenda become your personal agenda and not in the best interest of Singaporean, do not follow the foot step of SDP Sec Gen..
PAP did well for this election considering the fact that they fail to connect with Gen Y. If they do not engage them now, they will lost more then just another Ajunied in 2016 election. And many years down the road, PAP will be a thing in the past. I hope MM Lee understand now. All those young voters that he think are inmatured and maybe gay are shaping the future whether he likes it or not.
