<!--start of story text-->The losing People's Action Party candidate Desmond Choo on Saturday night interpreted the slightly increased share of the PAP vote as a sign that more people in the Workers' Party stronghold agree with his vision.
'We have more residents now believing in our vision of change, in our vision of a new beginning. I'm excited and encouraged,' he told reporters after the results were announced.
Asked if he would be back in 2016 for the general election, the 34-year-old replied that he would be back in the ward tomorrow. He holds regular coffee sessions with residents every Monday.
Earlier in the evening, more than 30 activists packed the PAP branch at Hougang Avenue 5, the nerve centre of the nine days of campaigning. They were initially hopeful of Mr Choo gaining more support than the 35.2 per cent share he had in last year's general election.

Desmond Choo call additional 145 votes a change? Is he daft?

Despite the granny-killing-sweet-talk... the content of what DC says is full of craps... i wonder if he realised it?
He put it as if Hougang has been oppressed by WP for years with nothing done... lol
I don't know if Hougang looks like a slum but if it appears run-down, every idiot knows this is due to PAP's bully tactics of cutting off funds which is totally ridiculous. So what change is he talking about? Change in that if PAP gets in then Hougang can get some material benefits? I don't know why there are quite a lot of praises for him online.

This primary school choir boy seriously does not cut it... his words are so naive that it is at best kept at primary school.

touched the hearts of people? Is he a surgeon?

he is indeed dadt. I am ambaraased to admit as PAPibchief

In 2016 after gaining another 50 more votes from Hougang residents, he would still repeat the same words of 'the Change has begun'.

LOL

I'm a bit confused though.. if his vote increase is a mere 145 votes, how come his overall vote share went up by 3 per cent? 3 percent of 23,000 should be at least 690 votes??
