Civil servants and SAF number 200k only. Tharman vote was 1.7M

It is the majority Singaporean choice la.
No doubt about it.
Never never underestimate Singaporean sharpness in detecting gimmicks.
LTK won our hearts not through gimmicks or threatening our livelihoods. He never disrespect Singaporean voting rights.
He shown respect to the voters. Whether from Opposition or Incumbent party.
Unlike some recent Opposition leaders or supporters. Venting anger, labeling Singaporean negatively when lose in election. Stupidly.
To cast a vote in the booth is as easy as ABC. Who is scare of your anger and noise?
Learn from LTK la.

Tharman landslide win also no surprise. Most if not all of civil servants, PAP, Taman Jurong, businessmen & the riches plus their families will cast their votes to him.

Only WP and PSP need to remain. The rest of the oppo parties can disband.

The GRC system is build on false assumptions that the electorate votes along racial lines. We should not have a structure that is build on wrong assumptions and pass it on yr after yr...it becomes q burden for our society. ..it is an implicit statement that our populace is naturally racist....a false costruct
bro..................you really believe in the official GRC fairytale ah...................?
just finding minority candidates for Opposition parties will be difficult...................that's why PAP use GRC + more difficult to win for Oppo than 1 vs 1.............

PAP Vs Opposition coalition party. With Pritam as the Leader of Opposition. The next PM... 
I stick by WP should be left alone at least for now.
A big boat of coalition with a bunch of different personalities is gonna pull down WP..
So, at best, SDP and PSP can merge since they all along quite equal and at the same level.. the rest of the opp can either merge or die..

WP is weakening. Unless they find someone like LTK, connected to many commoners. And cut down championing for minority policies.
Imo.

Obviously , But you don't forget also PA , RC , NTUC members down to Business Clans the Head surely vote for the Ruling party ALWAYS.....

You see Tharman walkabout got one is a Close door session whereby he meet those so call well known local influencers beside other media cock artists, staffs.

Voting is secret. Even LTK said so, and said there's no need to be afraid of voting for the oppies.
You are hinting that civil servants are scared to vote for TKL. You are suggesting that the votes are not secret. ISD should call you up because you made a very serious allegation here.

Say is no use.
Voters can see the actions and gimmicks. Just like what 70% saw in TKL.
Our Opposition leaders must never understand estimate Singaporean sharp observation in our country. Taking them for granted will be most regrettable.
Like KJ scolding Singaporean voters for his failure. Shame 🫠

LTK would never made such serious mistakes or advocated so strongly on issues about ethnic group. Because he understands racial issues in Singapore will always be around. That's the reason our forefathers worked so hard to set such policies. Not for fun.
Imo, 2025 GE won't be a smooth journey for WP.
Better work with other parties in coming election.
