Coming of age

I attended my first p sch classmate wedding today only to realise that many more are already married. Some even have two kids. It is really heart warming to know that we have all grown so much since those days of carefree marble, catching, humtumbolla days.

In the name of Democracy

Singapore has just witnessed one of the most epic failure of the GRC system. Widely recognised as one of the best in the current minister rank, ex-Foreign Minister George Yeo is now officially unemployed. At least he won't be serving the Singapore for the next 5 years as a minister. This happened while the most incompetent candidate, judging from the level of backlash from her comments, actions, (bimbotic) media replies and (act cute) picture, was elected as a MP all in the name of Democracy.

Hours after the election results, petitions were set up to replace Ms TPL with Mr GY. This was the public consensus and desire. However, it is unlikely this would be achieve as this is definitely unconstitutional.

As it has been proven that opposition can win GRC (Aljunied) and Minority candidates can win SMC (Punggol East). Maybe it's high time that the election board think harder about the GRC system. It may have been absolutely necessary in the past but the results today showed that the society has progressed beyond the fears of the 1980s.

Singapore shall make do with a TPL for the next 5 years. Maybe I am overly critical, but odds are against her to appease the public displeasure. If she doesn't, I hope that there is a stronger WP next election.
