[GE2025] Tampines GRC

[Atilas]

Where are the rest of the team members? Purposely ask him to talk nia.

Maybe when the rest show face immediately minus points.

 

[DexRunner]

Why suddenly he look so skinny and old.

Was diagnosed with stage one nose cancer few year ago, slim down a lot ever since maybe due to the treatment

You all be surprise what Malay residents at Tampines say about Masagos.

I think thats why Faisal is leading the WP team there.

Past elections, the opposition was only No Show Party, so they are not afraid. This time is different with WP. BTW LHL came to Tampines West today to garner support for them.

masagos got done in by calvin cheng

 

[Maihiam]

He's a mayor right? Tan gao leow?

 

[kiatkiat]

After election will these elites be so humble?

I always remember at one of the election, before voting, apologize to us and say sorry.

but after winning, when the press interview them, straight away change faces and say he don't want to talk about it

for your question, I believe if they will go back to their old way after winning

He is very ke lian because pap throw him into a grc with 4 jiak liao bee.

Sorry BYK, you are not bad but too bad the 4 anchors too heavy for you to carry.

Been relaxing too much for too many years, finally got WP to come and push him

 

[virtualape]

I think they feel that commando guy aura too power for residents. Looking at his Fullerton speech vs byk, one angel and devil.

It is only every 4 years once that these people decend from their ivory towers and act human

 

[curahee]

This type I think even family members also hard to connect, I doubt he can understand the residents. Will arrow them sign extra and knock the residents down 20

 

[AndreFLo]

Handsome Baey, SXL and TPL have the same problems

They have to hard carry unpopular MPs on their party’s strategy, allow the rest to leech their popularity

Too bad, it’s what your party wanted

Their party is the 1 who came up with grc system and have been happily reaping the benefits. If either of them gets voted out then go blame pap instead. Don’t blame the player blame the game.

The Kingmakers of GE2025 that Gerry & Mandering Misses - Our Reticence Malay, Indian & Minority Communities

I started thinking about this when I took a look into PSP's West Coast line-ups GE2025 vis-a-vis GE2020.

I was curious why TCB made the tactical switch to reduce the Chinese candidates from the original four down to the three notable names and increased their Malay candidates from zero in GE2020 to two in GE2025.

It led me to examine the voters' ethnicity further and realized that the new West Coast - Jurong West GRC is only made up of 70% Chinese, while Malays are at 17.5% and Indians at 10% - the latter two are higher than the national average of 13% and 9% respectively.

Polling day vote counts can only give the ruling government voting pattern resolutions down to the voting district and precinct levels (that few blocks of flats sharing the same voting station). It cannot zoom down further to age and race of each voters in every precinct.

And this is where Gerry & Mandering misses. Our three minority communities have traditionally been reticence and more importantly, much more monolithic, close-knitted and united as a community in their own right, than say the Chinese community who has more diverse interests and motivations.

So in this closely fought GE2025, where the winning margins will be down to the region of +/- 2%-3%; I put forth the hypothesis that our reticence Malay, Indian, Eurasian brothers and sisters of Singapore will be the Kingmakers who will have a larger than usual voice to shout out what they wish for Singapore in the next five years.

Besides West Coast - Jurong West GRC, Tampines GRC and CCK GRC also have higher than average minority communities voting bloc. And those 2%-3% more minority representation may indeed make the difference in GE2025.

Interestingly, both PSP and WP have also called for an additional public holiday on Thaipusam; and never underestimate the powers of the tenth month's star that Gerry & Mandering misses.


PS: For completeness and comparison purposes, the national average for Chinese community is 74%. AMK GRC has 80% Chinese, Marine Parade has 78% and Bishan - Toa Payoh has 83.5% and Tanjong Pagar has 80%.
