They should change the rule such that candidate must secure at least 50% of the valid votes to become our President.... now we have a Minority Elected President....

Even though the candidate I voted did not win, I am still happy. Coz there is still a little democracy system in our country. Majority wins. It is simple.

Rather than a walk over....

This comment is only because TT won. If TCB or TJS has won it with 35%, I am sure many of you would have said people's voice have been heard, justice has previal, blah blah .... many would rejoice and celebrate, there will be no comment of Minority ....

However minority it may be, it's the outcome of the choice of the majority. Let's respect, close rank and move on.

Robson said it aptly. So why not be graceful and accept e outcome than be bitter abt it? E signs are very clear to e PAP gov, we din give u a clear mandate. We had enuf. If they continue turning a deaf ear, they will pay next GE.

A win is a win, even if it is 1 vote.
