The Results
State of Being : Happy
The voters have decided and the dust have finally settled. Must have been an extremely stressful day for the parties and the nominees. Bet the whole of Singapore was glued to the television sets for the live telecast of the results which started from 10pm onwards.
Thankful that the results showed that there were still alternative voices in the House. Overall a strong fight by the Opposition and the statistics (strong mandate?) clearly showed that the lure of the 'carrot' is not as effective as one party thought it would be. Afterall, today's voters are sophisticated enough not to be easily swayed by monetary gains, thereby diminishing one party's hope of "buying voters over"!
