the Singapore General Elections just past by..

last saturday was polling day for all singaporeans. i was especially excited this year because firstly, i got to vote! and secondly, the hype was really great! it was like damn hardcore! of the 87 seats in parliament, 82 are being contested! that's like a first for singapore!

basically in the singapore political arena, there is one domineering party, the People's Action Party, and a few other oppositions. The popular ones this year were the Worker's Party, the National Solidarity Party and the SPP, i dunno what that means though but it has Mr Chiam See Tong as the Chairman. He's really popular!

so anyway, for you people out there, i'll list the results out below.

Mountbatten went to the PAP

Bukit Panjang went to the PAP

Radin Mas went to the PAP

Whampoa went to the PAP

Moulmein - Kallang went to the PAP. This was a really close fight.

Joo Chiat went to the PAP

Hong Kah North went to the PAP

Marine Parade went to the PAP. This was one of the areas under the brightest spotlights ever because NSP's Nicole Seah was contesting in this area against PAP's Goh Chok Tong.

Hougang went to the WP. i.e. Hougang remained status quo.

Pasir Ris - Punggol went to the PAP. Sigh....

Tampines went to the PAP. This was a really close fight too.

West Coast went to PAP

Yuhua went to PAP

Sengkang West went to PAP. Sengkang West was under Ang Mo Kio 5 years ago.

Ang Mo Kio went to PAP with the highest votes of 69%.

Punggol East went to PAP

Bishan - Toa Payoh went to PAP. This was a really tight battle and a sad one too. the SPP's Mr Chiam contested in this precint but lost. So he will be retiring after this.

East Coast went to PAP

Pioneer went to PAP

Sembawang went to PAP

Nee Soon went to PAP

Holland - Bukit Timah went to PAP. this was so screwed up.

Choa Chu Kang went to PAP

Aljunied went to WP. For the first time ever, an opposition party won big. This was the star battle. This also saw the oust of a few key ministers, namely the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Second Minister for Transport and Finance from the incumbent party. Their replacements have yet to be announced.

Jurong went to PAP

Potong Pasir went to PAP. Sadly, the incumbent SPP's Lina Chiam, wife of Mr Chiam, lost this precint. But this was a humongously tight battle. the difference from the winning to the losing party was like 0.2% only!

Tanjong Pagar was a walkover as no one wanted to contest the incumbent PAP.

So GE 2011 saw 82 seats being occupied by the PAP and a whopping 6 seats being occupied by the Opposition, Worker's Party. Usually it was like 86 seats PAP and 2 seats Opposition. So this year's number is kinda substantial!

Anyway Singapore, let's aim for 40 seats PAP and 48 seats Opposition in GE 2016!
