It was Election Week. Rallies were held daily and powerful social media made it extremely easy to access to highlights and reels of who said what, followed by who replied to who. As such, even though wifey and I were keen to attend at least one rally in person (reminder that the last physical rally was ten years ago as during GE2020 the world was still recovering from COVID), we didn't have to brave and battle with the crowd but still be updated on the latest happenings. The days leading up to voting day heated up and garnered alot of interest as the WP put up very strong teams and personalities against the incumbent especially in Sengkang GRC, Jalan Kayu SMC (first time), Tampines GRC (first time) and Changkat SMC (first time). Ultimately the incumbent prevailed but despite the opposition's loss, the citizens have succeeded in letting their voices heard:
Absolutely narrow wins for PAP. All over social media, the "blue" ppl are cursing at a missed opportunity but congratulating WP for the close, clean fight (there were no dirty politics this time). And they are hopeful. Hopeful that the alternative voice is growing in volume and stature.
I figure GE2025 will be even more exciting, if redrawn electoral boundaries allow. As for tomorrow - life goes on.
