wow
now got petition for by-election in Potong Pasir 
For fcuk?
Sitoh won fair and square, never mind that 114 people is less
than the total number of friends I have on my Facebook account.
Then what if in the by-election, Sitoh won by another razor-thin
margin? A by-by-election?
In the end, Chiam made a grave error into thinking that people
would vote for his wife just because she is Mrs Chiam See Tong. At
the very least that was naive, and at the very worst that was
leaning towards nepotism.
He should have just stayed where he was. Even if he had wanted
to seek glory elsewhere, he could have gotten his experienced 2IC
(Sin Kek Tong) to take over Potong Pasir.
Not all voters are dumb - at least enough people would prefer a
capable outsider to a possibly-ineffective heir.
