  But lift upgrade, there's a limit on number of blocks they can do every year.. But I think as time goes by, now lift dun need a engine room, marginally more blocks will be involved
  
  Anyway, this tatic only effective for once

  I dun think so
  
  Actually lift replacement for 1 block can take 6 mths! So 1 precinct takes 6 mths, so they can only do for 2 per year

  Workers Party is lead by Hougang MP, Mr Low Thia Khiang
  
  The one look like Olympics is SDA... Singapore Democratic Alliance - Formed by Mr Sin Kek Tong's SPP (Singapore People's Party), Singapore Justice Party, National Solidatory Party & PKMS. Mr Chiam See Tong is leading this alliance
  
  The one look like rocket is SDP.. By that infamous Dr Chee

  he won last election by a slim 700 odd votes..
  
  so this time i reckon it would be a tough fight and the win by either side would be a super marginal one.

  Slim chance of winning liao

  But sadly, it's not Mah Bow Tan that won back Potong Pasir

  Wah, close call eh?
  
  I wonder why the shift of voters. He's not getting things done for the community? But it's hard, right? In a way, his hands are slightly tied. No?
