Yes... I heard and read that PAP got quite a huge support from
our ethnic minorities friends.. This kept them in power in the GRC.
Actually i find it perplexing. From what I read in an article
on democracy in Sp, opposition usually gets more support from our
largest ethnic minority community. However, the results at
aljunied showed otherwise.
Could it be due to the image of Wp in the area?
ie,one whose main supporter group is the working class
blue collar chinese? The irrational fear of voting for
WP might have deterred our minority frens from voting for the
opposition... Not to mention the mass appeal of the LTK to the
teochew chinese in the area..
However, could it be different this time around? With the mass
import of PRC FTs by PAP, this has made life inconvenient for
minorities, especially with PRC at the front line service... I hope
to see change this time round. Opposition has never won a single
GRC since the start of this scheme in the 80's...
