There will be a reduction in GRC, mark my words

Rooney9 SG

the election department should be independent of any parties to maintain neutrality and fairness to all, how ironic.

~PEPPER~ SG

I dun like compulsory voting. In taiwan it's not compulsory.

Don't be sneaky, your question did not include asking about kiasism and kiasuism. Look, you are not even capable of spelling these two words correctly so don't expect any respect for you.

well, kaisi and kaisu is not even in the dictionary, what you expect, to learn to spell them correctly???

Hope gt lesser GRCs in next elections.

it will be lesser, from 5 to 4 GRCs. I urge citizens of singapore not to see GRCs as a tool of the ruling party working toward their advantages, you can make the differences, take the weakness of GRC instead, a win by opposition will take in 4 to 5 seats, and that is the loop in GRCs. Once a GRC is won, i guess in the the next election after the coming one will have no GRC liao

I remembered in the last election, "Goose" came in to help his candidate in Hougang SMC and said something along the line that if Hougang SMC were to be won back, the town council could pool resources from Aljunied Town Cowcil in its projects.

Luckily, WP retained Hougang SMC else i reckon we would not see Hougang SMC ever again in the upcoming election. "Pool resources" mah... good excuse to swallow it -_-“

It was announced over and over again during election campaign that voting is mandatory (I am referring to the past election). lee hsien loong himself stated that voting was a mandate.

Compulsory or mandatory means you MUST do, no excuses. Mandate means to give a right to to something.

As for voting, you want to vote, you vote, don't want to vote, don't vote. No one cares.

At the most, your name is removed from the electoral roll for the next election. You have the right to have it reinstate, no questions asked. Just pay $5.00 for the paper work.

Goh Chok Tong and Lee Hsien Loong were asking for a mandate.

an old saying " an empire long divided, must unite, long united, will divide"

the GRC system is only merely deleying the inevitable of the division of power here, after all nothing is perfect.

cracks has started to appear, but will it turn out to be a trickle or flood change against the ruling party only time will tell.

angel7030 SG

it no need any old saying, just remember that "nothing last forever in this world, it just a matter of time"

I am wondering who started the GRC system? The person who came up with this idea.

Rock^Star SG

Yes grouping small towns together does indeed save time but the one man one vote rule should still apply, abeit with a team of brains behind him. Putting so many ministers as leaders in a GRC is just a convenient way to bring in the lesser weight ministers while riding on the limelight of the heavyweight minister. The new minister did not fight for our votes especially if it's a walkover.

Hanor, like Cynthia Phua, honest show of hands how many of you know her.

U ppl got everything wrong. The Roman started the GRC and voting system. The American revived the voting system and we Singaporean perfected the GRC.

By the way, commuish PRC will revert it to the dynasty system soon with the rate it growth.

In the end, we will have a King...

I think our country better is all single seat no GRC.

Even if all is single seat u think opposition can win more? Opposition is weak in singapore all single seat also is PAP win. They at most win 1 or 2 more seats.

Vote PAP OUT to Save SG SG

GRC system was designed by PAP to create a political structure that will lock in and secure the power of the PAP.

As if Lee Hsien Loong's remarks denigrating Australia were not enough to convince people how anti-democratic the Singapore government is, Senior Minister (and former PM) Goh Chok Tong has now provided more evidence.

In his latest speech, Goh said that one of the purposes of Group Representation Constituencies [1] was to help People's Action Party (PAP) candidates win election easily.

There! He has admitted it. The State and its electoral system have been corrupted to serve partisan ends.

Goh was quite brazen about it. He said that the role of GRCs was not just to ensure minorities are adequately represented -– a nearly 2-decades-old justification for GRCs. By doing so, he has conceded that for the last 2 decades, the PAP been less than truthful about their motives...

You see, when it comes to politics, only a fool will trust PAP.

The main point is even got no GRC all single seat one, PAP will still rule the parliament. The opposition at most win a few more seats only.

And bear in mind a few more seats for opposition is a compliment from PAP, if they want to act tough, i think opposition dun even have a seat. As long as the opposition remain guai guai and seat there and do some acting job just to say that singapore got opposition in the parliament, PAP dun mind them to be MP
