SG GE 2011

Quick reactions.

1. So the WP win Aljunied and Hougang while the PAP sweep everything else. Big winner is the WP for their Aljunied GRC win. It means 6 opposition voices in parliament compared to 2 previously.

2. My heart goes out to George Yeo, the biggest loser of this elections. A brilliant, humble man and one much more deserving of a seat in parliament then many of the other PAP shooins. I can only hope he gets another role that helps represent the people. Else maybe he should consider an opposition role at GE 2016 (you know the PAP will never afford that).

3. Chiam See Tong steps down after more than 27 years serving the people, having lost the Bishan-Toa Payoh ward. Abit sad but I kinda got the feeling his time was up. I can only wish him the best of health. Time for the man to take a backseat and smell the roses.

4. SDP's Holland-Bukit Timah lineup definitely disappointed by their results. Wasn't even close. Tan Jee Say should have joined the WP lah.

5. Nicole Seah. A rising star. She gave Goh Chok Tong a very good run for his money. I can only foresee good things for her political career if she steers herself on the road towards the administration.

6. Tin Pei Ling. The most undeserving of the 87 seats allotted. Even if you negated her booboo and then ignorance of her supposed offence during cooling off day, and the numerous times she's been posterized and insulted in the new media for unwanted unbecomings and behaviours, I still cannot accept that she is going to be a part of parliament. Much unlike what the government might think, she is not a voice of our younger Singaporean generation at all. She is but a policy agreer to the ruling party with no voice of her own, going by every single one of her pre-election rhetorics.

7. The GRC system has failed spectacularly when George Yeo is out and Tin Pei Ling is in. Something is terribly wrong.

8. I am happy that PAP retained it's seat in my ward at Pasir-Ris Punggol. I think Teo Ser Luck has done a good job so far. I hope he is destined for greater things.
