Overall, PAP may have won this year's elections again but the number of votes for the opposition has increased in every district. Comparing with 2001's general elections results, i expect that PAP will start losing seats in around 2026. However, PAP will probably lose Aljunied GRC in the next general elections in 2011 considering how close their votes are in this year's elections. This shows that the new generation is more supportive of the opposition than the PAP. There's nothing much to be said for now, we will just see in the next elections.
