(Confirmed by the presiding officer on 8 May 2011 at 2:12 am) Many sources have mentioned that Aljunied GRC has been won by the Workers' Party. If this were true, it would have been the first GRC that has been won by an opposition since GRCs have been created in 1988. That is a total of 23 full years. GRCs have grown in size since they were started. GRCs started off with 3 men each. Currently, in this election, there are two 6-men GRCs. George Yeo, our Foreign Affairs Minister, from the PAP, first stood for elections in 1988 and has been voted in as a Minister for Aljunied GRC since but has lost his seat in this election. Another Cabinet Minister and a potential Speaker of Parliament also did not manage to get any seats.
However, sources mentioned that the other opposition party which have represented us in the Parliament since 1997, Singapore People's Party, did not win any seats this time round. (confirmed)
Other notable contests:
1. Potong Pasir SMC: SPP (50.36%) lost to PAP (49.64%) by just 0.72%, 114 votes. There are 242 spoilt votes.
2. Joo Chiat SMC: WP (51.01%) lost to PAP (48.99%) by just 2.02%, 382 votes. There are 314 spoilt votes.
3. East Coast GRC: WP (45.17%) lost to PAP (54.83%) by just 9.66%, 10553 votes. There are 1847 spoilt votes.
In 2006, in Aljunied GRC, WP (43.9%) lost to PAP (56.1%) by 12.2%. In 2011, WP won by 9.42% over PAP in Aljunied GRC.
2011 almost could have been remembered as the year when all seats were contested too if not for 35 seconds.
Now, Punggol-Pasir Ris GRC + Punggol East SMC will have one town council as what the PAP has mentioned or what the opposition call a super GRC. www.straitstimes.com/GeneralElection/News/Story/STIStory_...
Aljunied GRC + Hougang SMC can now adopt the same strategy.
Other possible super GRCs (possible oppositions):
1. Bishan Toa Payoh GRC + Potong Pasir SMC *** (SPP)
2. East Coast GRC + Joo Chiat SMC ** (WP)
3. Marine Parade GRC + Mountbatten SMC * (NSP)
4. Holland Bukit Timah GRC + Bukit Panjang SMC (SDP)
5. Jurong GRC + Yuhua SMC
6. Chua Chu Kang GRC + Hong Kah North SMC
7. Ang Mo Kio GRC+ Sengkang West SMC
8. West Coast GRC + Pioneer SMC
9. Moulmein Kallang GRC + Whompoa SMC
10. Tanjong Pagar GRC + Radin Mas SMC
GRCs which are not super GRCs:
1. Nee Soon GRC
2. Sembawang GRC
3. Tampines GRC
Hope that 3 more SMCs can be carved out from the above 3 GRCs to bring the number of SMCs seats to 15.
The number of SMCs when GRCs were first implemented started out as 42, then to 21, then to 9 and finally back to 12.

Naurumi Gunning, a member of Japansese community in Cork, Ireland places an origami garland on the memorial stone in the city which commemorates the atomic bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States Air Force at the end of World War 2 which killed over 180,000 people. The ceremony was organised by the Workers' Party.
Naurumi attended the event with her friend Umi Gunning on behalf of the Japanese community in Cork.
The origami crane has become a symbol of the suffering of the survivors of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, many thousands of whom suffered severe radiation poisoning and burns. One girl, Sadako Sasaki, aged 8 began folding paper cranes while in hospital with terminal leukemia. The crane (bird) is a traditional symbol in Japan which was said to live 1,000 years and Sadako had hope in the traditional Japanese saying that if you make a thousand paper cranes you can have a wish granted. Sadako folded 644 paper cranes before her death in 1955, ten years after the bomb had been dropped within a mile from her home.
