Uh, DPM Teo, the number of PAP seats in parliament not reflective of our sentiments

[Confuseous]

DPM Teo Chee Hean: "Hougang By-election results not reflective of Singaporeans' sentiment towards the PAP."

Dear DPM Teo, the number of seats that the ruling party has is not reflective of Singaporeans' sentiment towards the PAP.

We should also thank the Hougang By-election for revealing that the Rotary Club is as non-partisan as the People's Association. So how? Now that Png is the elected MP of Hougang, will the Rotary Club still be donating their $100,000 toilet money?

Dear Baron Teo Chee Bai,

If you have the balls/lumpar/conjones/chutzpah, scrap the first-past-the-post system and implement the proportional representation system for GE2016.

Of course you wouldn't dare. You loud-mouth chickenshit.

PAP lost Hougang... again. Deal with it. Now kindly STFU and run along.

Sorry I dont believe in proportional Rep. Singapore should just be single constituencies. See whether Teo has theguts to contest in one.

Alot of Hougang residents told me that had it been Teo Chee Hean who stood in this BE, he would have gotten even less votes than Desmond Choo. I just had lunch with an ex-Singaporean (migrated to Canada in the 90s) who came back for a visit. His ang-moh wife who had never been to S'pore before remarked that Teo Chee Hean looked very evil when she saw him on TV. She said his body language belied the fact that while he tried to appear composed, he's boiling inside because of the huge loss. She added that Teo is a very devious person.

me would dearly love to see all GRCs revert back to SMCs. this in itself can also result in proportional representation in the Parliament

A 60% mandate by the people is clearly not reflective of the number of seats they took in parliament.
Anyone who agree with me please upped my point.
Thank You.

Even before Teo enter politics he was already devious.

GRC or SMC. in first past the post system, the legislature will not reflect the true will of peoples votes. even if we have all single seats, PAP with 60% popular vote will still win 90% parliament.

True, but what would the esteemed GMS have to say about that

Prop Rep works only in certain countries. Even the UK voted no to having other voting systems.

I like your posts. You make my job of destroying Sinkie arguments and educating them much easier. I was gonna whack this idiot when he mentioned the supposed British rejection of PR.
