yes i think high chance even aljunied will be lost, left only hougang. boomer impression of pritam extremely bad after the public trial, and boomer just don’t trust the punggol alexis with taiwanese blood even though we know she educated in sg from primary school onwards :cry:

my circle is saying might see a near total opposition wipeout, except hougang. the remaining can only enter as ncmp :(
If that happens, many younger sinkies will develop a visceral hatred of boomers because younger sinkies bore the full brunt of PAP measures.

Boomers will become public enemy no. 1 among young sinkies.

there are some posts regarding vote voiding in previous GE or PE.

if you intend to void your vote, please do not write things like "You bad" or draw weird things in their vote box hor. All ambiguous votes will subjected to screening by the counting agent and officer. It is well known that the "anyhow write/scribble" will be consider as a "mark" then you inadvertently "vote" for that instead

Four-cornered fight in Tampines GRC will be tough for us: NSP’s Reno Fong

National Solidarity Party (NSP) president Reno Fong said the upcoming four-cornered fight in Tampines GRC will be tough for the party, but more competition will bring about a better Singapore.

He was greeting residents in Tampines along with party members, NSP vice-president Mohd Ridzwan Mohammad and financial planner Zee Phay. They were joined by NSP member Kevryn Lim and former NSP president Sebastian Teo.

The group handed out bags with coffee packets and an NSP flier to patrons at coffee shops and on the streets.

Mr Fong told the media that he has been “quite encouraged” by the support from residents, and hopes NSP will do better than the last general election.

The NSP garnered 33.59 per cent of the votes in a straight fight with the PAP in GE2020, but will face a four-cornered fight against the PAP, the WP and the People’s Power Party in GE2025.

Asked about the impact of the GST hike, Mr Fong said that while the goods and services tax has increased by just 1 per cent, when it “trickles down” to consumers, it may be an increase of more than 10 per cent.

On the PAP’s arguments that minimum wage is not sustainable, he said: “That is an excuse. There are ways we can work this out. Basically, you need all the stakeholders to come in, have an open discussion and work out something.”

He said having structured wages for jobs in the security industry under the Progressive Wage Model is a “good start”, as these jobs are an “attractive” option for some in their 50s and 60s.
