Political maturity at the cost of losing PAP?

In response to “the dilemma of voting in a well-run country” on 25th October 2001, Ms Chua argues that if all the young and educated Singaporean who believes in political maturity for Singapore votes for the opposition, the PAP will be thrown out of power.

Is that even possible? Singaporean had been returning PAP to power for the past 42 years, with more than 90% of the seats in the Parliament ever since independence.

Is the size of this group of Singaporeans substantial enough to vote in more than 42 Opposition candidates, an increase of 2000%? Ms Chua by expressing her personal fear that the PAP may be voted out of power by this group of Singaporeans appears to be influencing them to vote for the incumbent.
