what an election!

.

the PAP came up with the GRC system to make it difficult for oppositions to get in, but now one opposition party finally managed to break through, resulting in PAP losing George Yeo.

losing George Yeo but got Tin Pei Ling! what a system. i would take Mr Yeo over TPL anytime! classic case of having a taste of your own medicine! boooooo~~

another classic happening to PAP is Sitoh Yih Pin's "等久就有": he lost to Mr Chiam See Tong twice, now to win by a mere 114 votes. *tsk tsk*

i feel so sad for Mr Chiam, he is such a great man with great passion for the people. i personally witnessed him willing his 76 years old frail battered-by-2strokes frame to the rally. but honestly im not surprised he failed.

this board will have to be taken down within the next 45 days. it's a nice board. sigh.

take the opportunity to have a good rest, Mr Chiam. keep in mind that many people still support u! including me!

actually on one hand, im happy that the Worker's Party is finally propelling us into a real democracy by winning the most number of seats in parliament ever, but at the same time cant help but worry for the future of Singapore.

cuz common sense says that the more faction u have within a government, the more unstable it will be.

i have a relative who is a high ranking official in the government, and i asked my dad why is she not selected to run for elections. and my dad said she definitely got noticed by PAP, but cuz her dad is a seasoned gambler, so that is probably why she didnt pass the "test".

well it would be safe to say that PAP does due diligence checks on all their candidates before fielding them, but we cant say that of the oppositions, can we?

the opposition candidates are probably secretly corrupted or something, but nobody has the capacity to check on them? i dont know for sure, just wondering. hmm. oh well.

by the way, im very impressed by The Online Citizen. it was already posting results even before the Elections Dept announcements!

i was telling my parents the results TOC posted and told them to take it with a pinch of salt, but it was all accurate! all hail new media!

saw this on TOC and finds it an interesting irony....

are u happy with the GE 2011 results??
