Those who voted for PAP might nt approve of GRC system.
GRC system is not only to undermine the opposition weakness but
also to gain an economy of scale in ruling. When i young in school,
i remembered a Mr Lim Boon Heng came and talk to us about
GRC. He said that Singapore being small, a few small towns
gather together to form a group is better than each town going for
election individually, that will be tedious and also waste time and
effort for both the voters and the parties concern. Just like
buying things in bulk will be cheaper than buying thing one by one.
And it is not something that the govt is playing a game here, the
govt just wanted to consolidate these towns as one adminstration,
one town council, one office and so on so as to be
better than creating useless extra councils, offices and
having excess people in adminstration, which is very costly and add
no value to it. And such costs are taxpayers money. So in view of
these aspects, the govt decide to create GRCs so that more brains
is better than one, and please dun think that GRC is to make the
opposition difficult, if you look at the other way, we are also
putting ourselve at risk, if an opposition party won a GRC, they
won 4 to 5 seats at one shot, if 2 GRCs, that will be 9 to 10 seats
at one go, which is also a benefit to opposition. It is a level and
fair field the govt is playing, we did not reduce or shift our goal
post. At the end the day, GRC is mend to consolidate for the sake
of economy of scale
