Dr Koh Poh Koon was unfortunately dismissive of “online noises”. This is regrettable and perhaps reflect the broader sentiments of the Ruling Party on such “noises”. While these “noises” may not be reflect views of every Singaporean, these “noises” reflect the views of concerned Singaporeans who worry about where Singapore is headed, and who would like to have a hand in steering that direction.
The Punggol Pandemonium is a validation that online “noises” do reflect the actual ground sentiments.
Interestingly, Punggol East residents seem to send a signal that they prefer a candidate who appears to understand the sentiments on the ground, and one who has shown commitment and continuity in the constituency, instead of the archetypal PAP candidate – successful professional, and one who is touted to be a potential office holder. It signifies a rejection of elitism and our brand of Meritocracy.
It is really not hard for the Ruling Party to pick out the reasons why they lost Punggol East.
They just need to listen.
