Sights and sounds at Punggol East By-Elections

[KopiKat]

While many were celebrating on Saturday night, I am also sure there many who were worried. And not just from the PAP camp. It will be interesting to know what is going on in Mr Low's mind now. He looked very preoccupied during the press conference. Whether he wants it or not, the all important task of governing Singapore could fall on him sooner than he has ever expected. Should he failed, he and his team will really end up as 历史罪人.

During GE2011, WP contested for 23 seats, out of a total of 87. Looks unlikely what you say will happen soon, unless they're able to field more than double the numbers in the next GE or they form a coalition with other winning opposition parties (assuming they're able to swing the voters).

But what you say about others (besides PAP) who ought to be worried is likely to be very true... for RP and SDA. From this 4-corner fight, it becomes very obvious that these 2 parties (besides PAP) ought to be doing some serious soul searching... I wonder if they'll still be around, come next GE... If so, IMO, most likely, they won't be able to attract many capable people as candidates to join them...
