Remember the horrific car crash at Rochor between a Ferrari and a taxi? This second accident at the same spot just recently looks eerily similar.

Presenting to you, the incoherent babble of a Singaporean who obviously failed English. A screencap from this video of Returning Officer and heartthrob Yam Ah Mee announcing the results of the Hougang By-election.

“Hougang is not representative of the whole of Singapore necessarily. Each consittuency is different and Hougang has its own characteristics. We did expect a very difficult fight in Hougang and we’re very encouraged that more residents have seen, supported Desmond’s vision of a new future.” Even after the politicking is over, Teo Chee Hean just can’t help but plant one nasty nail down the coffin.

“This by—election is characterised by baseless attacks, distractions, character assassination and real threat of using government resources as carrot and stick to coerce voters from political freedom of choice. It also saddens me to see the role of mainstream media again becoming a political tool of the PAP in their election campaign.” Low Thia Khiang, party chief of Workers’ Party, speaking about the unfair tactics used by the People’s Action Party during the Hougang by-election campaign
