Not really. I think the last time it was actually proven was in the 1984. Afterwards, there was the GRC for a multi-racial team. You can't really say many people would support along racial lines based on your observations because there are other groups/sector you may not have observed. I think it would only happen if there are 2 equally good candidates. Then the question would pop up whether you would vote for the candidate with your same race/ religion. I would have voted for Mr Nathan because he is more well-known than vote for an unknown. Then again, it doesn't matter because the next presidential elections is likely to be another walk-over. Then again, it doesn't matter because the GRC will ensure a multi-racial parliament. Then again, it also doesn't matter because of the large numbers of walk-overs. Hence, there is no need to fear that people will vote along racial lines because they don't have to vote. Hope that addresses your question.
