Singapore Elections... the day after.

The elections are finally over, votes were counted lastnight. Our ruling party won. No surprises here... If they lose, stock market dip, I also jialat. Of course I want them to win. Congratulations to Singapore. Monday stock market sure go up. Gahmen say they won by a strong mandate. They say one, so must be true lah... Of all votes polled, they won 66.6% (Number of the beast... uh... that's not my issue lah...) . Base on first world standards, I guess this is a strong mandate lor... assuming first world is the US of A. George Bush also never win by so much but he also say people give him a lot of political capital... The claim of a strong mandate is puzzling me though... Because I believe it was said that the gahmen wanted a strong mandate and aim to win by 80%. If 80% is a strong mandate, then 66.6% is... uh... about 15% less than target... so mandate still strong meh? Go figure... I don't understand. The margin won in this election is less than the previous one. So, strong mandate meh? They say cannot compare with last election, cos last time got terrorist attack in New York, so people scared... uh... New York? Singapore? I think very far apart right? Ok, say people really scared kena bomb lah... so vote for continuity... then didn't the terrorists just bombed Bali again last year? So, people bomb New York, half a globe away, we scared, but bomb somewhere nearer like Bali we not scared... hmmm... strange logic, but gahmen say, so must be true lah. Congratulations Singapore, congratulations. With the election over, the law suits and arrests can finally begin...
