PAP won the last time because of the Malay vote.

Reform Party FB

 

The Reform Party - Studying the new boundaries now. Our initial analysis is that we will be contesting West Coast, Chua Chu Kang, Pioneer, Hong Kah North and Radin Mas. Wow that fast

TOC is good and fast in their analysis

 

theonlinecitizen - Aljunied seems massively rejigged at its edges - part of it goes to AMK GRC, and some parts of Marine Parade near Kaki Bukit is taken in.

 

(sound kelong to me, PAP tactic scared to lose)

 

Hougang has almost no changes except a part with no voters going to Aljunied.

 

Potong Pasir's boundaries remain.

Now that the election is coming... what changes do YOU want to see? Opposition to take over more seats? Say, 5 seats this time by opposition, how much difference would they make? Look at Hougang and Potong Pasir... have they been able to make significant changes to politics in Singapore??
