Did PE bookies thwart the results?

I watched the replay between Man Utd and Arsenal.

Some old timers are aware that Singapore's football bookies have influence on the football results: EPL, Italian league, you name it, Singaporeans bookies have a hand.

What about PE? Or even GE? Perhaps I feel the influence, if any, should be minimal. Compared to football bookies, the former is a shady business which connects worldwide. Who cares about PE in a small pee-sai nation?

Definitely plausible.

But I think people should stop pointing at any one factor as the source to blame for the results. We have to accept that there are a lot of things that contributed, and that it is a real pity that if any one of this changed then TCB would have won. You can't really say that anyone is more at fault than another... everyone is responsible.

Football. Bookie only need to bride few player in a game. In Election every voter have one chance.
How can bookie chance the result? Unlike the PAP last GE2011 bride the whole nation on average each get more than $1k.

I thought that Wilson Raj Perumal is in jail?

He revealed that he fixed many matches including Italian league and also internationals.

He also revealed that there was an even bigger kelong king behind him, but that guy denied the claims and called Wilson Raj a sore loser.

I am surprised that FIFA and the SG authorities didn't dig deeper into Wilson Raj's case?

Singapore Bookies have power? Can they change the course of the moon?

It's definitely plausible that the bookies had the power to influence the result of the election.
There was a significant number of people who would have wanted to know who is the stronger candidate between TJS and TCB and vote for the stronger one.
If a bookie prefers TT to win, he could reduce the odds on TJS to make people think that more people are betting on him as the stronger candidate, influencing more people to vote for TJS.
