I would caution against being overly optimistic.
as much as I like this scenario to happen (two more GRC/SMC) to flip, Singaporeans is known to be meek and prefer status quo when there is potential risks to the economy. The US tariffs is quite disadvantageous to the opposition. I would be satisfied if WP can keep the 10 seats that they won.
Let's have faith, step up, and ultimately respect the choice of the people.

This time round no horse trading meeting between the opposition parties on the night that the writ of election was issued.

Former Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) Syed Harun Alhabsyi said on Monday (Apr 14) that he was "absolutely" independent while he was in parliament and joining a political party was the "last thing" on his mind when he first took on the role.

The resentment against Monitor lizard Lee online is insanee.. Esp on reddit


If WP fields ex-IMH director or Harpreet in East Coast, there is a good chance of flippin too.

I am predicting two more GRC/SMC to flip this GE :s41::s41:
I have full faith in Punggol GRC going to WP? :s13:

Punggol reflects the Singaporean heartland – though with a youthful tilt.

For years, it has been the nation’s youngest town, with over half of its more than 120,000 voters estimated to be aged between 21 and 45.

Hence, the freshly minted Punggol GRC was created by splitting the existing Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, carving out estates in Punggol and merging those with Punggol West SMC.

Something for sinkie to figure out.

The white side cannot stop what Trump will or can do about tariff or other crazy stuff in the international area.
So, in terms of the stability that they promised, I really dunno what they are talking about unless they are Putin.

There is a scam advert running on ch 8.
Time to identify what is the real scam.

If there's a lot of anger on the ground, there might be more supporters for opposition...
Stay tune to this during rallies, I rememebered in 2011 almost every rally I went of different opposition parties, there's lots of cheers and roars for them...
Let see if it's the same this time around...

Cheers and roar does not equal to votes

Floodgates has been opened long ago. The new citizens vote will dilute alot of noises

You know what? You're right...
The silent majority mostly have made up their minds...
Only very few vocal minority are hitting forums like here and reddit...
But still, doesn't mean we can't enjoy a good rally and shout at the top of our lungs right? lol
