I admit I let out my biggest cheer of the night after Yam Ah Mee the returning officer extraordinaire declared Desmond Lim had only 1000+ votes.
.SINGAPORE: Secretary-General of the Singapore Democratic Alliance Desmond Lim said the party will make a comeback to contest Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC in the next election.
He said despite the SDA losing, it did better than the last election. The party garnered some 31 per cent of votes in 2006, but won 35 per cent this time round.
All the SDA candidates who contested in the GRC are new to the political scene.
Mr Lim said: "I'm very happy there is an increase in percentage in comparison to the last GE results - there is an increase of over four per cent, so Pasir Ris-Punggol residents, we will come again
CST actually very unlucky. last time SDP got Dr Chee. now SDA got desmond. both ended up like shit. but Dr Chee learned his lesson and improve a lot.
LTK good in grooming successor!!! now wp got so many good people inside!!! its a pity East Coast GRC cant get!!!

Desmond Lim is such a spoilsport. He cried like a baby and yet wants the electorate to think he is man enough to represent them in parliament. When he lost badly, he did not blame himself but others esp. WP Lee Li Lian for "parachuting" in and pulling away votes meant for him. How presumptious & so full of himself! Methinks even w/o Lee Li Lian, he's in for a thrashing by Michael Palmer! He is just a political side-show, full of ego but empty of ideas. Another bro nailed it succintly-Desmond should have withdrawn from the 3-corner fight & anchored their GRC team instead. In that way he need not have forfeited his $16K deposit.What a laugh!
His crying and then his wife's crying on stage, both accusing WP supporter threatening him to quit. Trying to win symphathy votes? I think that did not work at all.
He deserves to have his deposit forfeited.
PAP was able to garner 60% partly because of the weak contests that SDA and RP posed.
These 2 parties should do the other opp a favour - dissolve and disappear
Don't ever say something like that
You need other parties to keep the spurs on WP
Power does corrupt, understand????
if oppo parties are like desmond lim and sda then pap have nothing to worry about.
