Of course he swing his vote to WP after the MP failed to stop the police to ignore his wife's calls.

See, how very the pai dang! :sad:

And guess how the wife and neighbours are voting also..........Wife: \"Wah liao, how come never arrest my xiao husband after so many calls??\" ....Neighbours: \"Why so disruptive, my children need to go school in the morning leh, MP cannot do anything meh?\"

Not the hubby fault, not the wife fault, but zhenghu's fault, because the couple too stress at work, cannot have children, cannot afford COE....

There are people complain that the parking lots drawn are too narrow (by about 8 inches) on their side of the block, which is nearer to their void deck compares to the opposite side's carpark lots. This is due to landscaping but it would automatically become pap's fault.

These type of pple, failed to realise that NO party can solve their problems.. they'll just vote for any Opp party..

There's nothing you can do and there is no point talking abt these pple in these forum.[/quote]The statement is not very precise. These people are found everywhere and is a very small minority. They can also be found in the opposition GRC and SMCs and there they'll likely to vote for the ruling party. In any case, this group of people is just too small to have an influence in the outcome of any elections.

Therefore, picking on how this minority group vote is a muted argument.

Are u surprise with the result?


I quite shock leh. 1st I didn't expect PAP to lose. Secondly, I am shock that WP win so much.

I expected WP or PAP to win by less than 5%. Thought WP have a slightly better chance to win due to the AIM case. A big surprise to most of us that WP won PAP by 11%!

[quote=\"ngl2010\"]Maybe PAP would have won if they nominated George Yeo. But he is retired, right?

With all due respect, I don't think so. Although he's a very nice and capable person, his campaign will not differ much from KPK; it'll still be that PAP flair that's not resonating well with the man in the street at the moment.

By the way, since you guys still remember him, he is currently in Davos, co-chairing the World Economic Summit.

Our GY is the Vice Chairman.

Had not because of this BE, guess either LKY or LHL would be there too.

(Why no rain tonight? It should be raining!)[/quote]I thought you'd followed him there to find out more about the health and direction the financial markets are heading and report back? Or will GY update you? Nah, he's there just to ski.

I'm glad we are moving towards true democracy. Judging by the way elections have panned out and the growing number of quality people joining the opposition camp, another GRC or two falling to the opposition in the next GE is a real possibility. I'll be looking forward to the next parliamentary session and see how MPs from both the ruling party and the opposition perform and react to this wind of change.

I am glad to have another opposition member in parliament. More can be done to serve the citizens and to speak out.

Yes, it would be good to have more people from the opposition camp who are passionate about serving to tilt the balance of power in parliament a little more in order for policies to be genuinely debated before being adopted. I really hope for young hopefuls such as Hazel Poa and Tony Tan to make it to parliament in the next GE. I know next to nothing about social mobility until Tony Tan spoke with passion and rigour about it. These people knows what needs done for the future generation.

Surprise surprise


We are pleasantly surprised by the win and the huge difference.

Congratulation to WP and thank you PE residents.

And a historic win! Why? A four corner fight and the only woman to contest won!

Agnes want:

My best friend had a quarrel with his husband. His husband's brother is an idle fellow. He always need money to squander his life, when he need money he borrows money here and there. There has been no one want to lend money to him, so he ask his brother- my best friend's husband for help. But my best friend doesn't want to give the fellow any money, so they quarrel for the fellow sometimes.

Aaaa.... is your best friend a lady? It's hard to follow your story because I can't find a 'her' or a 'she' somewhere and ended up rather confused. And are you seeking advice or feedback, or simply sharing this troubling story?
