Potong Pasir.

8 May is the day that Potong Pasir will no longer be an opposition ward. for the past 27 years, Mr Chiam See Tong held the ward. So for all my life i could say, I was living in an Opposition controlled zone of singapore, this tiny town called Potong Pasir, which not many folks know where until it had an train station which openned in 2004 and then the wide coverage of the last election in 2006.

This tiny place, of 17k voters, but 14k plus turn up. [the smallest SMC and least to count] But end up it was the last ward to be announced all thanks to a close battle. In the end PAP won by 114 votes, 0.72% but that was enough.

All i have now is just this 90sec short film i made 77 months ago.

So ya THANK YOU, CHIAM SEE TONG, THANK YOU LINA CHIAM, THANK YOU SPP. You all did well,  43% in toa payoh -bishan and 49.2% in potong pasir is NO easy feat. You all have my respect and i am proud to say that i am a Potong Pasir-ian [is that even a word?]
