Lightning and Hammer. (not Thor)

The election was just over.

I would like to quote two articles.


All this clearly has the PAP a bit rattled, if Lee Kuan Yew’s comments are anything to go by. Fighting his own 14th election, the 87-year-old “Minister Mentor” (MM), as he is officially known, has been warning voters of the dire “consequences” of voting against the PAP. “You must expect the PAP to look after PAP constituencies first”, he told reporters. Thus if the unfortunate voters of Aljunied really do have the temerity to vote out the PAP, they will have “five years to live and repent”, according to MM. Asked if this sort of provocative language could cause a backlash against the PAP among voters, MM himself remained wholly unrepentant: “I am 87. I am speaking the truth. I do not want to be hypocritical.” So there.

this above is  from The Economist.


THE Workers' Party made a historic breakthrough by winning Aljunied GRC, with a comfortable margin of 9.42 per cent in the defining battle for the 143,148 votes.

Whatever that it is. PAP still lives in the hearts of many and  WP/Opposition has a chance to prove their capability this time eh.
