"PAP wins 67% of total votes

PAP leader Lee Hsien Loong happy with "strong mandate"; Hougang and Potong Pasir remain in Opposition camp, Aljunied GRC narrowly escapes joining them.

What is with the headline about Aljunied GRC having to "escape" from "joining" the opposition? What is with our journalists or "special correspondents" phrasing? Do they have to make it sound like its a bad deal to "join" the opposition? That the PAP are "Angels" and the opposition the "Devils"?
It could also have been "Aljunied GRC cant escape from the clutches of PAP" isnt it.

fark the media, the media sides with pap, it is a fact that the media had close relationship with the pap, they had even censor the part where opposition party speech and broadcast only pap speech, see the newspaper and it is not hard to figure out that they are in favour of pap
