JBJ won in a single seat in 1981 and again increased his majority in the same place in 1984.
The result: Disappearance of his constituency and creation of the GRC fraud in 1988. Subsequently, gerrymandering became rampant, denying more and more voters of their right to vote at every election.
JBJ was also subjected to a series of mistrials in LKY's kangaroo courts with offences that he did not commit, resulting in him thrown out of LKY's private harem called parliament to which the opposition leader was elected by the people.
Why must a dept taking orders from the PAP conduct "elections" to "fix" the opposition and "engineer" the results?
Why no by-elections in single seat constituencies since the humiliating defeat of the PAP in Anson in 1981?

In any dictatorship, elections are just a farce, a humbug and Singapore under the Lee regime for the past 50 years is no exception.
