Good to see S’pore Oppositions are getting stronger.
In Malaysia….it will be provocations…blame games…race and religion..as main Agendas for UMNO B.
It will be massive corruptions…double standards and unsolved murders..by the Oppositions.
TRUTHS have always played second fiddle in Malaysian politics.
I hope not in 13th GE.

Dr
1)The GRC systems is actually a good idea or the non PAP presence is only 2
2)The other innovative practice is the Alternative method, where if the 1st past the post winner cannot secure 50% of the vote casted, the 2nd place candidate will get the seat.
3) These models will work well in countries like Malaysia + Singapore, where the governmental, machinery is so well entrenched + tend to steam roll over the weaker opponents.
But then again when does BN thugs have the conscience to improve our Nation, Rakyat + Democracy ?

Will Johoreans get the message ? BN fears this most.
Mankind can’t fight against the storm of awakening. It happens across the globe not a one off phenomena.

Joo Chiat SMC was also close.
PAP won only by a few hundred votes.
British-type “first past the post” electoral system is unfair.
New Zealand has changed over to a proportional representation
system. So should Malaysia and Singapore.

In “first past the post” electoral system it is quite normal for vote share to be disproportionate to number of seats won. PAP won 60% of the vote but 93% of the seats.
However the alternative system of proportional representation has one big disadvantage. It usually results in weak governments.
The system of GRC was designed to make it harder for the opposition to win any seats but it can be a double-edged sword. As long as the opposition is weak it works but when the opposition gains strength PAP will live to regret it. Of course they can just change the rules.

Must be the PAP logo, so outdated.
Looks like trademark of some old batteries.
With access to better information worldwide, I believe the voters are more educated as to the fact that we don’t need BIG GOVT, but rather we need a govt that is our EMPLOYEE and in order to get them to perform the best, you can never let them be complacent, this can effectively be done by puttting them in competition with another.

Dr. Hsu,
The wind of change has breezed through the little red dot.
But this is no ordinary red dot , but an uprising city-state that has evolved from a trading port to a first world metropolitan country, over the years through hard work and perseverance. No doubt its founding fathers are still around to watch over the fruits of their labour.
However, over the years, this watchful surveilence has somewhat overzealously transformed to over-bearing attitudes which the younger generation finds uneasy, numbling and stifling. There has been steps to change the style of governance but not effective enough to please a section of their society. The results of their GE, I believe, reflected this phenomenon.
The Government of the day has to really pay heed to the voices of the people; from all sections of their society. Can this wind of change turn into a storm or tsunami in years to come?
