Everyone I spoke to, more than a dozen, had no regrets about the way they voted, whether for the PAP or the opposition.
They agreed independently that they would not vote for no substance opposition like RP, NSP and SDA. Some will not vote for Chee because they do not believe he is a changed man. They are old enough to remember how Chee ousted Chiam from SDP. They also would not vote for WP because as far as they are concerned, WP can't run a clean town council. They do not fault Hougang SMC for being one of the more backward towns in Singapore. It's a price to pay for not voting for PAP. You get sent to the back of the queue for upgrading.
