I like the hougang spirite. Why can't all singaporean like hougang resident.

Don't know what the stupid 60.1% still thinking

 

Born and Grew up in Hougang, though no longer residing there,

still retains the spirit and support for the residents of Hougang,

Particularly those who feel that the ruling party has punished them by neglecting them,

forgetting that they, the people of Hougang, pay the same tax as everyone else on this tiny island of ours!

 

I still have relatives in 4 different households there,

Told me that last year's GE and this year's by-election promises came too little and too late!

 

THANK YOU, PEOPLE OF HOUGANG, FOR STANDING UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS! BRAVO!!

 

 

[Poper]

DPM TCH is wrong to say that HG does not represent Singapore !

 

In fact, HG is the Singapore that we used to know and one that many of us are proud of !!

 

Hope WP will expand their foot prints into east coast, joo chiat etc in GE2016.

 

Sweet victory for Png Eng Huat!

A very BIG THANK YOU to Mr Low Thia Khiang, for standing firm for the last >20 years as well as your contributions to fellow Singaporeans.

 

You have sacrificed your most precious youthful years for the meaningful course. We appreciate it.

I sense in 50 years time, ppl will remember LTK as the founder of democracy in SG.

Yah hor, good question.

What if GY had stood for this B/E?

Do you all think that he could have the power of influence and familairity / 'like' to turn the tables?

Congrats to PEH.

 

However, Png Eng Huat will have lots to do for the next coming 4 years if WP wants to cement its position in 2016.

 

I don't really like what i am seeing during the media session after the results announcement, in which Png frequently had to steal glances at Low before speaking to the mic.

 

No doubt the support base for WP is strong in Hougang, but going forward, Png Eng Huat will really have to be his own man and gain recognition from his voters from now onwards.

 

Ya.. he need to be more confident in handling media. cCompare to LTK and Png Eng speak, can straight away tell the difference. Other than that, he also need to really work hard to prove his worth for next 4 years lao. All best to him.

[Vulcann]

The big question the ruling party should seriously ask themselves is this: What will happen come GE2016?

 

Everything status quo since they have already apologized?

 

Or will there be fundamental shift in their policies and have shown so?

I saw the media session on TV last night.

I think PEH is not very fluent with Mandarin, so had to frequently turn to LTK for some "helping words".

The portion that PEH spoke in English is quite ok.

if statistic is correct, if you analyse closely...from 2011. DC only managed to swing 145 votes..which is 0.66% of 21,951 in 2012.

 

while PEH lose 1,403 votes ... equivalent to 6.4% of 21, 951.total votes.....

 

So you see what the logic of balancing ?

 

That was not what i was asking.

 

I was asking: total no of voters drop by 1500? or

 

No changes to no of voters but total no of voters who voted drop by 1500?
