For your info, those 3 countries took the formula from us during their learning journey in Singapore. We are infact a model for many countries who come and study...even in china, shanghai, the bus stop and taxi system is modelled from us,...i went there and find the same bus stop as singapore...maybe second hand one from singapore.

As for taxi, initially, comfort make a big loss in shanghai, because the drivers loan out the brand new taxi and drove home to his village without returning it....damn,

Being born in the years of racial tumoil, I had originally thought that it is sensible that minorities rights are being represented in the GRC system (3 contituency in 1 GRC). However it seems to me that instead, in the name of racial harmony, I have given away my rights to vote when the system changes from 3 to 4 to 5, 6....where Braddel is Marine Parade GRC

I therefore support the cause of abolishing GRC before more changes may come and take away our rights to vote.

so that means grc is still a good idea just that it has been abused. the best is not abolish grc, but bring it back to 3-man grc like before for minorituy representation. don't throw the baby out with the bath water

1: THERE IS GRC in somewhere else IN THE EARTH. It just that they dont name it as GRC (Probably due to non-English country or something else??)

The 3 other countries are Cameroon, Chad, Djibouti

All these 3 countries with GRC are from African countries. (No exception and all 3 have a lower GDP than ours)

Best of all, Djibouti has one of the "GRC" has 37 seats out of entire parliment's 65 seats.

I think the other complex voting system is Lebanon. which has a religion representative and political factions voting system.

if GRC really need minority representation why some GRC got 6 candidates leh? i tot only muslim, indians, chinese,eurasians. the other 2 includes china PRS and indian PRS?

we all know what GRC about, PAP claim are just to satisfy their own lust for power and the state control media will never make a challenge on that front.

well, they should get a neutral person like me to count the vote, those counter are public servant officers, alternatively, we can employ a third party to count for us, that will be more transparent.

My dad said there is a counter in seasme street very good in counting.

They wont let a third party to do it.

That is for sure.

If they really want, I want to be volunteer.
