A true leader dares to be challenged. Other wise, not true leader. I call sheeder.

THen how did JBJ manage to win the Anson by-election? That area is majority CHinkish. Confused

(human) SG

PAP likes to play with GRC. How voting can be given to all eligible?

hisoka SG

it's lasted so long, why not further.

it will give you the race representation and would be as effectively empowering as the grc system.

Isis SG

I'm eligible to vote but never got a chance loh. Rolling Eyes

reddressman SG

Is sg small or tiny or extra huge?

Why the need for so many GRCs such that so many more candidates is need for election? I am asking because I dunno.

If I am correct, sg is a city size. A small city in fact.

In small cities, do cities practise breaking up them into many small components such that more candidates need to be fielded? Again, I am in doubt.

What happens if large countries also have the same system?

How many do they need?

The mother of all question, in my humble perspective, is should sg have 1 GRC to stand for election where even all the GRC candidates can stand together for election in a single GRC, what is the difference?

Same number of candidates, 1 or just a few GRCs. Same total number of voters, Same candidates. Everything the same except sg is divided into less GRCs. Last time no GRC ok, why now? Last time not as good good?

I really dunno de.

If 1 GRC, or no GRC for that matter, just a city election, would that not mean no walkovers and all eligible voters, age wise, can have the chance to vote?

What is the hum?

Hum hum hum. Humpty and dumpty sat on the wall ?

I can only believe that super talents of world record level is not afraid of challenges. The bigger they are, they better it shows their worth. Ler kong Dioboh?

What is the hum? i am open to consider some of your answers, if you can produce it, that is. Wink

Poh Ah Pak SG

I oppose the GRC system and the stupid walkovers that results in PAP staying in power without a fight.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Deleted. I realized I’ve been writing crap.

reddressman SG

Would I be right by saying, if the People does not want to change this GRC system to allow all eligible (age) to vote, then it means the GRC system will continue for ETERNITY ? Eternity means forever.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

The GRC could prove to be their bane if the opposition improves and if the GRC system doesn't change. But of course, I would expect that they start tweaking such that they will win.

In other words, yes, PAP will win if they resort to changing the system for their own benefits.

This is not what a GRC should be used for and I detest the way it's being abused.

OldBussy SG

Every citizen of any country in this world who have attained the suffrage age for his/her country SHOULD/MUST have the right to vote. Cool

This right itself is greater than any further amendment e.g. GRC boundaries etc... Cool

AndrewPKYap SG

It should be given to all, but people should not be forced to vote.

Those that do not want to vote, should be allowed to abstain.

This way, only those that took the trouble to study the candidates will vote and those that are not interested will not.

mancha SG

The government of the day, will tweak the boundries in the way they see fit. Because they are the government of the day, and what they do is for the nation.
So if WP, SDA or SDP is the government of the day, they too will do what is good for the nation.

googoomuck SG

The country is indeed becoming more open. Lackies openly admit to stealing votes by gerrymandering.

robertteh SG

Without fairly contested voting president and MPs presumed elected by no contest or walkover are all fakes.

I support the call for real voting which is the only way to determine who is good and who is not so good which is too important to be prevented by some doubtful gerrymandering on the ground that candidates should jointly be voted on a blocks of candidates with minority candidates which has effectively prevented voting to take place in many constituencies.

So out with hypocrisy of looking after minority candidacy.

The need for voting by exercise of free choice is far more important to be superseded by the issue of racial balance in voting which can be attended to in some other fashion not by preventing potential candidates to stand for election for fair election on merit of individuals.

Herzog_Zwei SG

You want to prevent such gerrymendering, enforce an election regulation that requires GRC boundary being established for 2 years before an election. If somehow, the boundary is changed within the 2 years, all votes from the GRC will be deemed ineffective. This will cut down on useless MPs who sit in Parliement but do nothing.

Poh Ah Pak SG

There should be fixed boundaries.

There shouldn't be unneccessary changes of constituencies at all.

I hope that PAP regime can stop this poppyc*ck and create a more fair election system that the people can have faith and belief in.

iveco SG

Real voting? You mean the preferential system? That is a good idea. All GRCs have to be disbanded, and multi-cornered fights in every SMC should become the norm thereafter.

t_a_s SG

I have a suggestion since PAP is afraid to lose minority candidate, then create a constituentcy where Malay fights again Malays and Indian fights again Indian,and voters consist of Malay or Indian, Chinese cant vote in Malay area.Fair, abolish GRC and fight one to one. This is call gentleman

LazerLordz SG

Let's start with an Independant Elections Commission, one of which is not under the Prime Minister's Office.

For the life of me, I could never understand whose failed intellect gave birth to that idea of putting our Elections Department under a political office.

robertteh SG

Your suggestion is good. The Malays or Indians will be well represented unlike what it was made out to be. It should be implemented as soon as possible to replace the GRC which has killed our own all-important political development.
