... enough WOMEN in enough GRCs vote for whichever opposition party that is running for election in those GRCs.
Of course, the vast majority, if not all, of the men must also vote for those opposition parties and there must be only ONE opposition party per GRC.

And I dare say that since Singapore became "independent" (and I'm using quotation marks because although Singaporeans became independent from the UK and Malaysia, it started becoming DEPENDENT on the PAP government) in 1965, nearly ALL women and old men have been voting for the PAP at EVERY General Election; and that is the simple, but real, reason why the PAP keeps winning every General Election.
Obviously, because women and old men naturally lack enough courage to resist bribes and threats, it's easy for the PAP to bribe and threaten them, which is why PAP's chances of winning ANY General Election is always high.

I think the "system" (i.e. Women's Charter and all the other benefits that women get) in Singapore is already designed/rigged in such a way that I dare say that nearly all WOMEN usually vote for the PAP, so that's at least nearly half the popular vote at every election. After that, the PAP easily manages to get the simple majority from the old men (those at least 60 or 65) because usually, old men are simply too old and weak, both physically and mentally, and therefore more dependent on the government than when they were younger; and also more votes from certain younger men, usually those from the upper classes and upper-middle class.
Until the last election in 2011, the opposition was so weak that they were unable to contest every GRC/SMC, resulting in so many walkovers all over Singapore:

And even in 2011, when they managed to contest every GRC/SMC except LKY's Tanjong Pagar, this is what happened:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<wbr>Singaporean_general_election,_<wbr>2011#Results_summary
Total voting electorate was 2,350,873, but because of the walkover in Tanjong Pagar (139,771 votes), the maximum voter turnout on polling day was 2,211,102; and yet 150,729 did not vote and 44,737 votes were "spoilt", leaving 2,015,636 valid votes, with 1,212,154 (the famous 60.14% of valid votes) going to the PAP.
I believe about half (roughly one million) of the valid votes were by women voting for the PAP, and the remaining 200,000+ consisted of old men above 60 or 65 years of age and young and middle-aged men from upper-middle and upper class households.
So no matter how hard anti-PAP Singaporeans try, they will still lose. In fact, I doubt many of them bother to vote for WP or NSP because they honestly like such parties; I believe most of them vote for the opposition parties simply because they don't want to vote for the PAP and want the PAP to have as low a percentage of the valid votes as possible, which is why they still bother to vote, unlike the 150,729 who did not bother to vote; otherwise, besides winning nearly all the seats, the PAP would also end up with a higher percentage of the so-called popular vote, possibly even significantly higher (say, above 70%), causing all these anti-PAP Singaporeans to lose face!
As long as Singaporean women continue being staunch feminists, the PAP will continue taking advantage of women's votes and the votes of the upper/upper-middle class men to rule over ALL Singaporeans.
