The results are out.
PAP: 82 seats
WP: 1 seat
SDA: 1 seat
SDP: 0 seat
I'm so disappointed that Worker's Party didn't win the seats for Aljunied GRC. But it was so close though. 43.92% of the people voted for WP.
PAP won the constituency I'm staying in.
Potong Pasir and Hougang still under SDA and WP respectively. Thank goodness.
Not that I have anything against the PAP (for all I know they've been doing a pretty good job), but I really think the Parliament needs more members from the opposition parties (the quality of the opposition parties are important though). Only with competition will there be improvement. And I think most young adults share my view (as per newspaper reports and from what I heard around me these few days). If you are young but don't share this view, ermmm...then you're probably old or something. HAHA. I even heard some guys saying in school today, "Aiya, vote for opposition la. Must have opposition in the Parliament mah, otherwise so boring, everytime PAP." HAHA.
But nevertheless, votes for the opposition had increased significantly, which is an encouraging sign for the local political scene. Let's now hope that the government can lead us towards a better future and continue bringing more benefits to the people. I LOVE SINGAPORE!
p/s: I got to keep the poll card. I'm so happy!!!! Got to laminate it or something. Heehee.
