What happens in MY more or less affects SG, vice versa.

MY GE2008, Penang fell to Opposition hands.
SG GE2011, Aljunied GRC fell to Opposition hands.
SG BE2012, Punggol East also fell to Opposition hands.
SG GE2011, percentage of voters voting for RUILING dropped to historic low.

MY GE2013, we will see!

When I mentioned "Malaysia opposition taking over the government experience in the aftermath of winning GE13" I was relating to our situation when Singapore's opposition wins in 2016. Then we can see what can then happen, will it be a trouble-free takeover or will it end up in chaos, capital flight, civil war, property market crash, etc?

Yes, and when I mentioned the few events, it was a reflection how each affects the other in some ways. And if we look at Penang, the BN seems to signal to the pple there, that the Opp will fail, but looking at the success, it builts confidence in pple elsewhere.

If BM falls, and Opp wins this GE13, we will see what happens there, which will somehow affect S'porean voters in the next GE.

The date is set: Malaysia goes to the polls on May 5th!

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/malaysians-...044043135.html

The dates are out! Malaysians will finally get to cast their votes on Sunday, May 5.

Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof revealed the polling date and nomination date - which falls on April 20 - in an announcement that beamed live across several television stations after a 10am meeting in Putrajaya.

Abdul Aziz said RM400 million has been allocated to the EC to conduct the polls.

Malaysians have waited with bated breath for this day, with speculations on the elections beginning as early as 2011.

In the three general elections held between 1959 and 1969, campaigns lasted over 34 days. The shortest campaign period so far was in 2004, when it was set for only eight days.

Last Wednesday - on the fourth anniversary of his premiership - Najib Razak announced the dissolution of parliament.

Najib promised that any change of regime would take place peacefully, prompting almost unanimous praises from the rakyat and the Opposition.

This Taib will cause the downfall of BN......

Just how close is the opposition towards forming the next gov ? From election 08, they captured 84 out of 222 seats. Need 112 seats to form gov; meaning they need to capture another 28 seats.

That means just slightly over 10% vote swings of the 222 seat total.

Here is the current representation :

Swing 8 seats from Johor, 10 from Sabah, 10 from Sarawak done deal liao. But current opposition seat must continue to hold la.

Anyway, should the results be a close call either way, the next few months will be all talks and speculations about politicians jumping ship. Like how Perak from Opposition state go back to BN.

1kg popcorn also not enough ah..............
