All the large crowds from videos and pictures during campaigning means nothing when the silent majority is way, way larger than any of the crowds combined

To provide a perspective. 65k and 51k voted for WP in Tampines and Punggol respectively. These are not small numbers, and way more than a rally site can hold.

Technically it's the same results from last election. Essentially a draw but it felt like a pap victory because the closest matches were won by pap.

But yeah LW played well. Can't say the same if a certain person fumbles with his east coast plan.

WP needs to have a superstar in next election, so that the mainstream media are forced to give him or her some good coverage. That's the fastest way to reach out to the silent majority.
Agreed. Samuel Lee, PPP superstar, should join WP and the mainstream media will give him some good coverage

Only more credibility and quality candidates joined WP next GE can rock the boat based on GE2025 result.
It won’t happen cos gerrymandering will work to ensure success for them only.
If they can’t play fair and have a gentlemanly election show casing to the world what they truly are.
Can you trust them?
They left you with no choice using gerrymandering

Singapore really no different than Mainland China.
I was wondering if China is better.
In terms of cutting cost down
I was looking at our roads etc n someone posted CHina roads.
They changed the noticeboard / roadsigns but seem not v gd after the reflective coating dropped? at night hardly can see...
road markings also. always dig, lay things, cover, then another few wks later, same thing but by diff groups...

Then our medical, if u noticed, the before subsidize is v high for polyclinic.
A lot of our things are outsourced? Even town council is it outsourced? Transportation now is like outsourced?

Then China do they do the old sg way of managing the country? Things r done by govt but of course govt will hold the bulk of the complains (when things dont look good) but then again, China no elections. everything is inside the circle of ppl.
But elections ard the world, its always those few ppl coming up then ppl form their own circle too mah. Just that one is elected by a v small group of ppl
Another is elected by a big group of ppl but r given that small group of ppl to vote for....

So in the long run, will our medical be like USA where the diff co managing the diff hospitals/polyclinics have higher overheads to cover (mgmt team etc) and then more salaries to pay VS govt in house take care of hospital and education etc and able to do things better? then u have insurance companies coming in and want to take a pie of the healthcare, a vicious cycle in a way?

Last time the older generations, their english like more solid n they can speak gd dialects. Nowadays ........
last time doc talks more abt relationship n not $. Nowadays doc not as good n say things liked they need to go poor countries to treat ppl = feel their sense of doc responsibility that kind of thing i also dont understand....

i think in general, people have change. The characters r diff from the gd old days
maybe because a lot of things need $ n ppl want packaging n to be in the well to do situation etc?

Gen Z also vote PAP.. in fact more favourably than the millennials.
Within 5 years, PAP earned additional 4% of votes.

For me, i learn that people don't care about influx, fairness, representation in parliament.
They don't care about nric saga, income-allianz saga, bully using cantonese to mock opponent.
They don't care about useless mayors, negative politics, ncm being a sellout.

They just care about... cdc vouchers.

Edmw and reddit are just echo chambers..

How about you? What relegation, how ever disappointing, do you realise?

Pls discuss civilly.


Dun think too much... WP held on for the 3 wards also.. All the respective incumbents did well for both sides.

Clearly the results across the country show that the ppl are comfortable with status quo. They dowan change.

All the negative complaints u mention is only happening in the imagination of the discontented losers.

Yaoxiakia learn that after so many years of open leg culture, we are so ingrain in our thinking that we are a *****. Once a *****, always a *****:(. ***** till extent that someone penetrate our backside like ntuc sagat and we still ok with sodomy and gladly accept it.

Is like a country not a country. This show that sinkies are not feeling the pain enough. Must make sinkies suffer more. Btw when tharman won president election big margin some say it will not reflect in coming election. This prove that this is wrong assumption
