The results are satisfying.

There are no terrifying upsets, all the few most capable candidates I think paramount to SG got in.

A few PAP won narrowly, I think they felt the tight slap, although I don't know why some slaps landed on those that are quite on the ball but others who I think are disappointing got away with high percentage.

GST: It was increased to 9% at that Covid time simply because LHL is retiring and this is a necessary increase he doesn't want to leave to suffered by Wong and his team, backfired obviously. And we do get GST vouchers and many subsidies, especially medical. I don't lie, I know because we received them (no choice, family situation), were even on medifund (got approved with just 1 15min interview with social workers) at 1 time, fully subsidised for more than a year (re-interview half-yearly, if I remember correctly). So don't believe sob stories of no help for medical care in SG.

NTUC sage: Nobody understood the implications until people who understood made noise. Until now I still cannot understand it. Even oppies didn't understand it but only went with the noise, just happened to score lottery with that. Well, it was stopped immediately once understood. It's actually quite normal for such situation to happen in the world.

Tampines is in the making of the next Aljunied

Despite being 23% Malay voters in Tampines, the results show that majority Malays there casted their votes on WP

It wasn't necessarily that they rejected PAP, but that they chose Faisal Manap over Masagos, the minister in charge of Malays in Singapore

Faisal is perceived to have spoken up for them than Masagos did

Faisal Manap had always wanted to contest in Tampines. Pritam granted his last wishes

He wanted to go down fighting & despite having lost narrowly, he won by carving a large chunk out of PAP's majority enjoyed in 2020, setting the stage for the real showdown in 2030. PAP must do something or else Tampines will fall. Bearing in mind that WP had only started to move into the estate recently. 

It was also clear that the Malays did not fully bite the "foreign interference" accusations slapped onto Faisal

That's where the danger lies.

You know, the article is full of empty claims.

Open tap got water, press switch got electricity, internet is fast, 5G is mostly available, subsidised patients see same specialists private patients see, online payments or services all instant...etc available even to those staying in rental flats. These things even developed countries MAY not all have. These are standards of living, right? These need money to run, correct? SG has climbed to 1 of highest income in the world in recent years, what stagnant wages?

SG jobless rate is below 3%, full employment liao, lowest in the world.

buy HDB already already written there big big 99 years. Who believed otherwise? Resale flats are everywhere, why cannot sell?

Lawrence Wong is from neighbourhood school who became scholar, then to PM.

We travel. We study overseas. We post photos of Europe and Japan. The article said this, not I said! HAHAHA!

I'm tired already, typed so much.
