More attempts to cast doubt on GE2015 results



So, opposition lost badly in GE2015. Instead of reviewing what they did wrong to cause Singaporeans to reject them, they are now trying to pin blame on new citizens. They are back to playing the xenophobic card, creating animosity & divides among community, with inflated figures and wrong assumptions.

1) Total vote cast in GE2015 is 2,304,331 not 2,462,926 [1]

2) Total net increase in vote cast between 2015 & 2011 is 243K not 402K

3) They "forgot" to take into account that Tanjong Pagar was uncontested in 2011 ie 0 vote cast in 2011 vs 116K vote cast in 2015

4) The actual number of new citizens between 2011 and 2014 is 82K many of which are below voting age. (for example in 2013, 40% of new citizens are below 20 years old)
