Singapore has the Group Representation Constituency (GRC) system since 1988.
I asked this question in the Wisdom of the Crowd - Is the GRC system good for Singapore?
69% of the respondents said that it allowed weak and arrogant candidates from the PAP to be elected.
20% said that it has caused a disconnect between the people and their Member of Parliament.
The remaining 10% said that allowed candidates from the minority groups to be elected and has worked well for Singapore.

The GRC system is a very power tool for the PAP Govt to sneak in greenhorned, retired SAF Generals and defeated GE candidates into Parliament in the legitimate way, and then speedily helicopter them into Ministerial positions, irrespective having experience or not.
ReplyDeleteSo folks, GRC is here to stay as long as the PAP Govt is in power.
