GMS is a weasel. My request to him is simple and reasonable. Since he said Png is a much much weaker candidate than DC, then surely he must have made some comparative study of the two before arriving at that conclusion. Instead of explaining what qualities he had compared the two, he asked you to go watch DC and Png. How convenient?! We could never know what qualities he used to compare the two of them, even if we watch the videos 1,000 times. We could never hold him accountable for his assertions.Devious.
First of all i am not sure how one can compare a 2 minutes PAP clip against a 30 seconds WP clip.
Nevertheless Png mentioned his areas of concerned are transport, education and low wage workers.
Desmond Choo portrays himself as a "unionist" who wants to:
1) Champion firstly the interests of security employees and if possible cleaner ah sohs.. the words he use are how to improve their employment terms and "continue" to earn good wages, better prospects, etc...
2) Promote policies which help families cos he is a young person (?!)... help poor kids to get student grants so that they have a good footing to star their life
3) Narrow income gap cos he sits on the NWC (Caveat: to do so in a sustainable way, ie according to how my masters define them)
I have not heard Png speak in a rally or other occasions hence i can't conclude with the 30 seconds clip how driven the man is... articulation does not appear to be his strong point... seriously who cares? Just give PAP a bloody nose. You have lots of articulate lawyers/doctors in the Parliament are they doing what is good for people?
For Desmond Choo he is from a younger generation with stronger English Language skills but he looks more like the boy who sits at the far corner of the classroom... ocasionally raise his hand to say a few points, but extremely nervous with lots of "ahm".. "very central to me"... "i am very central to this"... i assure you one sentence from Shanmugan will shut him up for good. I would say Desmond is about the same calibre as Ting Pei Ling.
