Speaking at the NTUC 45th anniversary function, Lee Kuan Yew claimed
that, since 2004, the majority of new jobs have gone to locals. Last
year, for example, 63,000 of the 113,000 jobs went to locals.
Hello, that's only 56 percent that went to locals - hardly a number we
can consider as "majority".


51% & 49%, which one is majority ?

use a calculator, if still too difficult for you.


It depends. If the last time you win by only 1%, then 51% is majority.
If last time you win by 50.9999999999999999999% Than 51% is real "kachang puteh" indeed........;);)
