Status Quo..
And so the dust has somewhat settled for the GE.. Somewhat.. I'm sure some things gonna happen following this GE.. And yah, Gomez has juz been detained. But never mind, he's not my MP so not my problem..
And so, the nation has decided for 2 oppositions in the Parliament. Status Quo.. What does this mean? I don't know.. But I'm sure some prices gonna go up here and there.. Hmm.. Aljunied close fight as expected.. Good performance from the opposition to take 43% of the votes. And in Hougang, which is a stone's throw away from my consistuency, the more charming Low took 62% of the votes to crush the less charming Low. What this means is really... You don't do your homework mr. Eric.. If you hadn't push so hard for upgrading, you might have won.. I mean it. Talked to a hawker today when we went to the Hougang market for lunch, I can see she's a supporter of the more charming Low. But she explained to me why. Upgrading would just mean she pay more. And it's not a mere hundreds of dollars but tens of thousands. True.. I understand.. So can I claim it's a big boo boo on Mr Eric's part? The first thing he told SM Goh was that the consistuents were concerned about upgrading.. I think he's gravely wrong.. Or maybe he isn't. Cos the residents ARE concerned about upgrading.. But concerned that you don't squeeze them dry of their money for the upgrading.. And so it means. They are concerned that if you are elected, they'll have to part with some cash for upgrading which is more of a want than a need to most of them I think.
Same for Potong Pasir.
And so, a parting shot.. Do they really know what we want? What Singaporeans really want?!
