Less than half of the overseas Singaporeans who were registered to vote at the Punggol East by-election cast their votes.
There were 59 overseas Punggol East voters registered, but only 27 turned up to cast their votes at the nine overseas polling stations last Saturday. The overseas votes were flown back to Singapore and counted by Elections Department on Wednesday.
Of the 27 votes, 19 went to the People's Action Party and seven to the Workers' Party. There was one spoilt vote.
The overseas tally did not affect the outcome of the by-election, which saw the Workers' Party candidate Lee Li Lian winning the four-way race. Singapore has allowed overseas voting since the May 2006 General Election.

KJ name does not sound right, it reminds one of Koo Jiao

Finally a 'win' for MIW in the overeseas vote count.

I read from somewhere MIW has lost in every single of the 10 counting stations to WP.

MIW were apparently so shell shocked they didn't dare release the results until 2 hours later.

Meanwhile all their runing dogs in the SCM were still deluding the public that it will be a "close" fight.....

DL 168 votes number swee swee. Luckily no overseas voters come and spoil it for him.

perhaps most of the PAP votes come from those working in overseas offices of GLCs and government agencies? I won't be surprised special arrangement were made to make it easier for them to cast their votes.

What about GMS's vote? He must have contributed.

Kudos to Mr Spoilt Vote, he beat those clowns, KJ and DL in all arenas.

Yes it is. Those people need not show proof to qualified as a registered overseas voters.
