Razor Thin

So the results of the Presidential elections in Singapore are officially out. After a recount and a nail biting finish. Dr Tony Tan won by a razor thin margin. Only 7000 plus votes. After more than 2 millions votes were cast. That's about 0.38% only. And he only got the votes of 37% of the people of Singapore.

I was disappointed. Very disappointed. I felt that Dr Tan Cheng Bock, who came in a close second was a clear winner. He spoke from the heart and he would be a people's president. And he would unite Singapore under one president. I didn't think Dr Tony Tan would be able to achieve that given that there are a lot of Singaporeans who are still anti-PAP. And everyone knows Dr TT is the unofficial PAP candidate.

I hope the ruling party gets the message. I hope they realise that even in their own party, the people are split. It will be a long 5 years for them. They need to start listening to the ground instead of living on their own high horse. And finding better PAP candidates to represent the people.
