What made Hougang, Potong Pasir and Anson what they are?

SadPlumpGal · May 27, 2012

Can old birds here help me with this?

Why did opposition gain foothold in Hougang, Potong Pasir and previously Anson?

What was the driving force behind the vote for opposition that made them different from the rest?

Sorry I am quite blur as I wasn't even in kindergarten when Workers Party won Hougang.

Hougang, Potong pasir and Anson residents like to climb stairs.

Hougang people, in particular, hate abalone porridge.

shd have lah, just a couple thousand a month. who know, it could be the temple management footing the bill and not the PA/RC budget.

temple management also poor thing. if not for the land lease extension.......... rumor that SLA not extending the lease a few years back, the management went tolong LTK and EL. what can LTK do right, so shd be EL help they manage to extend the lease. Was it a long term lease or the rolling lease, i dunno.

Anson - JBJ won because got discontentment over housing issues there.
Potong Pasir - CST won because emperor Lee ridiculed him for his O level results.
Bukit Gombak - LHD won because of Dr Seet fishmonger handshake.
Nee Soon Central - NCC won partly by luck (168 votes) and by-election effect (CST brainchild)
Hougang - LTK won because of his speaking teochew masterstroke.
Aljunied GRC - emperor lee repent remarks sealed the deal

Ok Plump Gal, Narong already given you a good history lesson on the past Oppo wins in these wards..

Remember to Vote for the Oppo in 2016.. Tell your family and friends too..

It's illogical to assume that the people in Anson, PP and Hougang are smarter and more discerning than the rest of SG.
It's also illogical to assume that they are less smart and less discerning.

The fact is that from first hand experience, they realised that SG can go on and do even better without pap.

So how did PP choose PAP last year

Kaya Toast - $1
Abalone Porridge - $3
Voice in Parliament - Priceless

Anson is LKY's 胸口永远的痛。
He choose its MP, Devan Nair to be the President.
Then loses Anson in the ensuing by-election due to impending resettlement of residents at Blair Plain for PSA's container port (I think).
In comes SG's most combative oppo MP who had given old man quite a bit of headache.
For the first time in our post independent history, we have an oppo in parliament.
To top it all off, DN was removed for squeezing Mrs Sabah CM's kar chng.... hahahaha....

What made Hougang, Potong Pasir and Anson what they are?
