Sunday 8 May 2011

So what happened?

I'm confident that young voters (21-35) did our part. Unfortunately, we are only 1/4 of the electorate.

I suspect the majority of our grandparents voted PAP. New citizens nearly all voted PAP.
Then there is the big civil service where many people are still scared of voting opposition even though they really want to.
And remember that PAP has built up formidable numbers in grassroots.
Also, 400,000 Singaporeans did not vote. Many of these are probably working or living overseas. They could have made a difference.

The only way the opposition can take power is if all parties united into one to contest PAP.

However, the PAP has never been pushed so hard before.
Let's hope that PM Lee's apology was sincere and that Singaporeans' lives will improve.
But somehow I'm not so sure...

PS: Well done Aljunied GRC! Fingers crossed for Tampines, Marine Parade and Holland Bukit Timah
