Was the GRC system good for Singapore?

Singapore introduced the group representation constituency (GRC) system in 1988, which was 30 years ago. Was this system for Singapore.

I asked this question in the Wisdom of the Crowd.

58% of the respondents said that it has caused a lot of harm to Singapore by weakening its governance.

29% said it allowed a new MP to enter Parliament on the coattails of established MPs.

The remaining 13% said that it had two good features - allow minister to be appointed and ensure representation of minorities in Parliament.
