Looking forward to their plans for the estate. I think if they can maintain the standard that the current TC has, it would be good enough.

I feel its going to be very hard for the wp team to push their agenda to have more eateries, provision shops etc so personally im not hopeful for these. What i hope to see is more diversified voices from them in parliament

Yup. Same here. At least WP will voice out for the residents. They have limited power. But then PAP with their almighty power, chose to do nothing for 20 years. Zero hawker centers after 20 years.

also, just a heads up for SK residents, don't expect miracles from WP team immediately with regards to municipal/amenities issues. it's well known that funding is not given to non-white wards despite also paying taxes etc.

This is the beginning of a new shift. Besides conquering expected obstacles in opposition wards, WP & PSP must start planning for next phase in GE 2025 already.

Phase 1: The New Dawn

The most practical thing for the sake of stability is for oppositions to make further progressive inroads into parliament seats by adding 1 or two more GRCs from East Coast/Marine Parade, while letting PSP take West Coast GRC. All these seats were a close fight above 40%.

So ideally in GE 2025, this should be the scenario. By this time, they should be able to have some semblance of a Shadow Cabinet:

-------

Phase 2: The Phoenix

In next GE, with the opposition parties gaining strength and trust from electorates (assuming no self-pwning or bi-elections etc.), they can push for further plans to either take another GRC/SMC or let other parties with vote share above 40% take the SMCs, particularly Bukit Batok SMC (SDP), Bukit Panjang SMC (SDP) (SDP), Marymount SMC (after residents being tekan by the lady general, lol) or even wrestle Hong Kah SMC from the egg-lady whom should have retired by then. This is Opposition's first major milestone.

This is the ideal scenario. By this time, opposition should have denied 2/3 majority by PAP already, with WP/PSP securing another GRC and other SMCs (10 + 5,5,5,5,5 + at least 2 SMCs) with > 31 seats. The first draft for a shadow cabinet could be formed.

Only after arriving at this stage, can the opposition consider themselves a major force to be reckon with.

There will be significant disruptions and fanfare when it comes to voting on constitutional matters, among other votes.

And voting for Bills is no longer just a sickening bulldozing affair by the incumbent. There could also be PAP MPs or even heavyweights switching to the opposition camps , esp. to WP or PSP. This could happen by either natural attrition or breaking the Whip to vote against the ruling party.
--------------------

Phase 3: The New Era

From here onwards in subsequent GEs, the opposition should have gained enough momentum to push for PAP to form a minority government with a more balanced parliament to achieve real democracy for the benefit of the nation.

Most importantly, PA's GRA and NTUC, among other machinery as part of the power-elite network, which has been 'inextricably linked' to PAP could then be revamped drastically.

Based on current sentiment and vote share, this best scenario could happen with PAP further losing GRCs in CCK, Marsiling, Jalan Besar & Tampines :

Ref: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/specialreports/sg-votes/results (click and play with the territorial map to understand the rationale)

As a founding party with most resources, PAP should remain as a minority ruling party for the interim to ensure stability, prosperity and progress for the nation.

Hopefully, we will get to see all this in our lifetime.

Unless, Singaporeans love to remain in this horror state, then they reap what they sow. ;)
