[GE2025] Extensive changes to electoral boundaries due to population shifts; only 5 GRCs, 4 SMCs left intact

[MatrixFanatic]

For once, Bloomberg not stirring shiat for the sake of it.

Seriously... why the need to change boundary at every election due to population shift? It is just an excuse for gerrymandering...

If got more pple in the constituency... then suck it up and take up the job... is it have another 5-10K new resident the MP cannot handle? If the MP cannot or unable to handle more workload... can always quit... Pretty sure got others wanting that job... It is never fair who handle more workload... avg 28,000 residents per MP is not an absolute number or game... largest SMC is 33K while the smallest is 22K... if want to talk about numbers than how is this fair...

Changing boundary so often creates confusion for voters... and voters lose their identity to their constituency... no sense of ownership to the place...

More reason to vote against such tactics. Otherwise more control will be taken without consultation or consideration of opposing voices.

Just curious, stay for entire event or just come in for like 30 mins - 1 hr and leave?

Anyway, for PAP MPs usually everything handled by the RCs personnels in the area one then they just show face abit during events.

I don't even know who is my exact MP in Marine Parade GRC, but their faces plastered all over the HDB lifts, etc.

At least they bother to show face. Opposite one dun even got shadow. But I still vote opposite.

Totally no jerrymandering. Me have as as much faith/trust in them as i have for billy jobs from"teamviewer" microsoft tech support, california.

Hougang smc has been around for decades. Yet it didn't get merged into any GRC cos of "demographics shift". The residents there don't move out? No residents move in? Using demographics shift as a reason to merge other SMCs is a big joke.

The camera work not bad, really zoom into all the signs

 

[mryang]

Hard truth

 

[selemuse]

The question is, is gerrymandering illegal in Singapore, and are there ways to proof that there is gerrymandering ?
ChatGPT and DeepSeek both respond that gerrymandering is not illegal in Singapore (anyone can confirm?).
Yes, there will be discontent, debate and noise about the issue but it seems nothing can be done on legal ground except to vote wisely.

The boss of these civil servants are politically affiliated. Why would they employ people to draw boundaries against their own interest ?

 

[bigrooster]

Yeah sure. But who are the bosses of these people?
