While Andersson's Social Democrats looked set to remain the country's biggest party with 30.4 percent, the Moderates appeared to slip to third position, with 19 percent. The election campaign has been dominated by issues close to right-wing voters, including rising gang shootings, immigration and integration issues. The far-right party was seen garnering around 20.7 percent of votes which, if confirmed, would for the first time make them the country's second-biggest party, overtaking the Moderates, the traditional leaders of the right-wing bloc. Conservative Moderates leader Ulf Kristersson, who is challenging Andersson for the post of prime minister, and two other smaller right-wing parties have for the first time tied up with the anti-immigration and nationalist Sweden Democrats, which looked set to post their best election score yet. Earlier, two exit polls had given the left-wing bloc a slim lead. The right wing bloc was credited with a majority of 175 of 349 seats in parliament, with the left bloc trailing with 174. Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson's left wing bloc was neck-and-neck with the opposition right-wing in Sunday's general election amid a far-right surge, with votes in more than three-quarters of electoral districts counted. We will truly be rich only when we can say, "No, we don't need the money. However, in our pursuit of wealth and the good things in life, let's not lose our sense of history. I know that every new construction project means millions of dollars poured into the economy. I realise that the land must be worth a lot, considering its location, but did the authorities stop to consider its history and character and what we will be losing? Its date with the wrecking ball is now sometime in 2018. Thankfully, Minister Khaw Boon Wan has given it a stay of execution. Let the girls back into those hallowed hallways and if the residents in the area complain about the traffic and the noise, remind them that the school was there long before them.Īlexandra Hospital is another case. With a stroke of the pen, the Minister-in-charge can make the necessary changes and save that Grand Ol Dame.
So what if the lease had run out and that the land is slated for residential use?
I could not believe what I was reading in the papers when it said that the school had to move out and that the area was to be re-developed. Take the case of the old Methodist Girls' School on Mount Sophia. What I do not understand is why we have to lose huge chunks of our history and places much loved. I understand the need for Singapore to modernise and be up to speed with the rest of the developed world in terms of infrastructure so that we can continue to attract foreign investment and talent. In Singapore, whenever I hear a government minister talk about "development", I think “Oh, what are they going to destroy now?" Please note that all submissions will be subject to these terms.
