Eh, the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC)ah, confirm got people anyhow speculate lah! Let’s break it down Singlish-style with humor and logic:


**1. "Merge Opposition Strongholds" 🧩

  • How It Works: If an area votes heavily for opposition, PAP might merge it into a GRC (Group Representation Constituency) with PAP-friendly areas. Like that how to win?
  • Example: In 2020, Joo Chiat SMC disappeared into Marine Parade GRC after WP nearly won it in 2011. Wah, like that how to lose?

**2. "Carve Out Safe Seats" 🪓

  • How It Works: Create new SMCs (Single Member Constituencies) in areas where PAP is strong. Wah, like that how to lose?
  • Example: In 2015, MacPherson SMC was carved out of Marine Parade GRC, which PAP won comfortably. Like that how to win?

**3. "Split Opposition Votes" ✂️

  • How It Works: Redraw boundaries to dilute opposition support. Like that how to win?
  • Example: In 2020, Punggol East SMC was absorbed into Sengkang GRC after WP won it in 2013. Wah, like that how to lose?

**4. "No Fixed Rules" 📜

  • How It Works: The EBRC doesn’t have to explain why they change boundaries. They just say “trust us lah” and anyhow redraw. Like that how to win?
  • Example: In 2020, the EBRC redrew boundaries without clear justification, leading to speculation of gerrymandering. Wah, like that how to lose?

**5. "GRC System" 🏢

  • How It Works: Opposition needs to win a majority in a GRC to get a seat, while PAP only needs to win one strong candidate. Like that how to win?
  • Example: In 2020, WP won Sengkang GRC with 52.1%of the vote, but PAP won West Coast GRC with 51.7%. Wah, like that how to lose?

**6. "Frequent Changes" 🔄

  • How It Works: Boundaries change every election, making it hard for opposition to build a strong base. Like that how to win?
  • Example: In 2020, the EBRC redrew boundaries just months before the election, causing confusion and kancheong among voters. Wah, like that how to lose?

**7. "Public Sentiment" 😠

  • How It Works: Voters anyhow kancheong because their constituency might change. Like that how to win?
  • Example: In 2020, some voters were moved from Aljunied GRC to Marine Parade GRC, diluting WP’s support. Wah, like that how to lose?

Conclusion

Eh, EBRC anyhow redraw boundaries to maximize PAP’s chances of winning, while opposition anyhow struggle to keep up. Like that how to win?

But hor, voters should stay informed, vote wisely, and make their voices heard. Steady lah, we all just trying to survive in this kiasu world together! 😂🗳️🇸🇬

“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”​

If everything is good, no need to explain. The more explanation the messier

MIW has just removed 3900 voters from Aljunied GRC ,out of 147,000 voters.
3900 voters ,less than 3 % of GRC voters,are in 2 condo and new BTO estate.
who know how many pro WP?
The removal may help WP.

Hougnag SMC and Sengkeng GRC boundary remind unchanged .

so strong holds of WP almost intact.

why miw allow such happen.

why give WP a good chance to keep the seats?

Gerrymandering isn’t just a recent phenomenon, though; the word was coined in 1812 when Massachusetts governor Elbridge Gerry went to such egregious lengths to redraw the state senate districts in his party’s favor that one district took on the shape of a salamander.
