Goh Chok Tong lamented about his party's declining popularity saying that younger Singaporeans are not like the older generation, and that their bond with the ruling party PAP are "less instinctive and more transactional".
He also recounted that the 2011 General Election was his low point and lamented that Marine Parade voters did not think about what he has done for Singapore when he was PM:
“When the result for Marine Parade was announced, I felt the deep disappointment and gloom in our supporters. I too did not expect Marine Parade GRC to poll only 55 per cent. What you had done for the people as an MP or PM did not matter as much as the prevailing mood of the people.”
