GE2020 Sengkang GRC: Alarm bells rang when residents were 'a bit hostile' towards PAP's team during campaigning period
One of the early signs that not all may be well came midway in the campaign.

Clad in white, Mr Ng Chee Meng and Mr Amrin Amin went around Sengkang Central, waving and introducing themselves. Usually, residents obliged with a smile or a nod, even if hesitantly.

But there were some who gave the two People's Action Party (PAP) candidates the cold shoulder, to the point of being outright unfriendly.

One of the early signs that not all may be well came midway in the campaign.

But there were some who gave the two People's Action Party (PAP) candidates the cold shoulder, to the point of being outright unfriendly.
In the end, it was too little, too late. On Polling Day, Sengkang GRC emerged as the biggest upset of the 2020 General Election.

The Workers' Party (WP) won with 52.13 per cent of the votes, against a 47.87 per cent share for the PAP. This meant that three political office-holders, including Mr Ng - who is labour chief and a core member of the 4G leadership - have been turfed out.

Everybody was surprised, shocked," a party volunteer said.

Meanwhile, over at WP, the slate led by lawyer He Ting Ru, 37, and including economics associate professor Jamus Lim, 44, social enterprise founder Raeesah Khan, 26, and equity research analyst Louis Chua, 33, in the early hours of yesterday morning, maintained a subdued demeanour when they arrived at the WP headquarters shortly before the final count was in.
Thanking voters, Ms He said: "We will work hard, to make sure that this trust is not misplaced."

The WP team's unexpected victory has led to a blooming heart of blue in Singapore's north-east, with the WP expanding its reach beyond its traditional strongholds of Hougang SMC and Aljunied GRC.

A miscalculation
For the ruling party, it was not meant to be like this. Singapore's newest group representation constituency, created just ahead of this general election, was widely thought to be safe, albeit closely contested, for the men in white.

Ahead of the hustings, attention focused more on the eastern flank of Singapore such as East Coast GRC, where the WP had made some inroads during previous elections.

Sengkang GRC is made up of Sengkang Central - previously helmed by Mr Teo Ser Luck and which was part of Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC which clinched a high 72.89 per cent of the votes in 2015; part of Sengkang West, where Dr Lam won a respectable 62.13 per cent; and Punggol East which stalwart Charles Chong wrested from WP incumbent Lee Li Lian with 51.77 per cent.

The 120,100 voters were mainly young couples living in HDB estates - a constituent group traditionally thought to not want to rock the boat too much as they build up their first homes.

Of the three men, only Dr Lam - who has been at Sengkang West since he entered politics in 2006 - remained in the political fray this time round, with the retirement of Mr Chong and Mr Teo from politics.

Sengkang Central was partitioned into two, to be represented by Mr Ng and Mr Amrin, previously from Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC and Sembawang GRC respectively. Punggol East was to be represented by Mr Lye, a long-time grassroots leader.

The way to fix this in future is to take down the addresses of those who are hostile and then instruct the town council to commence eviction proceedings.

Once an example is made of just a handful everyone else will fall in line and such scenes will be a thing of the past come 2025.

People who show no gratitude for the good things in life that the PAP has gifted them need to be taught lesson in humility.

The only way to win Sengkang back is to redraw the GRC to incorporate older citizens into the mix.

Sengkang is just a dumping ground for young lower- medium income folks. Probably got screwed badly with rising costs, can’t afford to buy cars and have grievances against pap due to these.

These young voter are educated and knows what is good for their Children's future. Those uncouth Ah Peks and Ah Sohs are selfish, give em few hundred and they think a world of PAP

The former Punggol East SMC is now part of the Sengkang GRC.

Charles Chong cheated in GE2015 by claiming over $20m were unaccounted in the Punggol East SMC. For five years, he can't produce the evidence and treated his electorate with indifference. This group at Rivervale area went on to sink PAP in GE2020.

I'm sure places which voted for the opposition are always called dumps and dumping grounds. And their residents are just a bunch of losers and malcontents, eh?

Not long ago, when Sengkang was still under PAP control, and hence it was still not a town of losers.

Get rid of these CECA, WP will be at least 70% in 2025. Otherwise Hindi will be the official language replacing Tamil. Just go to Chennai Business Park it is already obvious. East Coast will remain PAP with CECA support.

One day I was at one of the National Library, a lady asked for books in the Hindi language. The librarian replied that National Library do not have any books in Hindi, only in Tamil, the official language. CECA is real. They are here.

India has many languages with many writing systems.

The original Sinkie Indians spoke Tamil and Malayalam: parallels with Hokkien vs Teochew.
