Presidential Election 2011

"Now that it’s over, we should all unite. Put aside our political affiliations. The presidency is above politics and we should all build (a) better Singapore for everyone."
"Through the outreach that I have done, through platforms, I hope to unify Singaporeans because at the end of the day, Singapore is our home. We share a common destiny and I think all of us work together for the benefit of our country," he said. -
:sad: What Ever

indeed very disappointed....but we need to move on. in fact i am more disappointed with those 40k of spoilt votes. they are given a chance , a right to choose and make changes, but they just cant be bother.
I was expecting to see high number of invalid votes, but din't think it was going to be THAT MANY. Think I should champion next round the importance of making valid votes more actively... -
Stayed all night to watch the results unfold. Heart getting heavier as the results become clearer that TCB is going to lose by just small margin. Start to wonder about the ""what ifs" like if there was a straight fight between TT and TCB? How different the result will it be?
Whatever it is, we have to accept the result and move on. Let’s hope TT does consider the unhappiness of the majority of Singaporeans. He has to say the right things and analyze why so many did not vote for him despite his so many "endorsements". Please win the hearts of the people from now on. In a sense, you have to continue your election campaign for 6 years to convince me that you deserve my respect as Singapore’s Head of State. All the best to you and do the best for the interest of all Singaporeans. -
As I have stated in the other thread, Dr Tony Tan must be mindful that the majority did not vote for him. He must act for these 6 years to deserve my respect. We have to move on and provide him a chance to be our Head of State. Best wishes to Singapore.

We have changed the soup, but not the ingredient. United as one, I find the soup difficult to swallow. -

I do hope that the 3 other Tans will accept defeat graciously and the winner humbly listen to our concerns and start the healing for the sake of Singapore.

May our senses and minds continue to be alert on the journey that lay ahead of us, and be prepared to raise our voice and give our support, whenever, wherever situation arises! -
Sigh… Let this be voting 101 for those who opposed and voted for the opp. Strategise!
If only it is like Ms Universe pageant, if the winner cannot perform his duties, the 1st runner-up will take over.
