Don't be mistaken, this is not the election of the angry.
The loud and visible are disappointed with failed policies, Covid mess, belittling of locals by Josephine, Chan, Khaw, LeeBW, Hyflux collapse, loss of jobs to foreigners, cost of living, collapse of HDB resale prices, etc. Many of us wrote to government for help, including myself. All i get is a template reply. Citing similar incidents on news, if I am some VIP, the respond will be different.
Question here is, how does the quiet ones feel? Many on the ground shared with me that they benefited from the COVID handouts, $9000 + vehicle/shop rental rebates, etc. The loud group does not represent the majority. There are indications that the incumbent must be very confident to call for election now (best timing). Some are like an happy ape, if you open the cage, they still prefer to stay inside the comfort zone.
Is this elections a calculated move? Perhaps the incumbent will gather less popular votes, but mathematically they enjoy a pretty good chance to defend their current seats and win Hougang and Aljunied GRC?
