Might be too much to ask from you, bro, but trust me on what I know.

You are very funny.
People with your type of background and being a part of the establishment for years and now planning to write a book, are the last people I would trust.
Your posts are undeniably very informative and entertaining though.
So please keep posting.

I can't stop you asking the million dollar question but there was a time and an OCBC branch on top of hill at Nantah of the past. Its history is colourful and the people associated with it and their fellow travellors are also colourful. The faith is very strong with SL though.

Hope you do know why I am asking this and why now:

1. It is 2013 and not 2016. Crunch time is still at least 2 to 3 years away.

2. Pappies who claim all opposition are moles, SDP guys who claim WP guys are moles, WP guys who claim SDP guys are moles: All these at least give people a choice.
People who claim to be pro opposition but claim all main opposition leaders are moles? They give people no choices. Very useful trump card, this mole card. If manage to convince enough people, it could be the difference between a slim victory and a slim defeat. Forget about the notion that "the others are ok". Once the leader is tainted, there will be a difference.

3. So what does that make SL and others, someone who has worked and fought side by side with him for years? Naive and blur? Surely not.

4. Pappy mentality and establishment mentality. You should remember me making this point before. It sticks. Anything gathered must be right and true. He stepped in a GRC and won it? Oh, he had to because the time was ripe. I suppose LKY told GD via a dossier who his favourite child is.

5. Back to one of my questions. Who knows about this? LHL? Georgie? Or just LKY and his most trusted henchmen? (I have used this word twice in this thread and hope it strikes a chord.) Is it beyond them to throw this mole theory about just in case people who have heard it leaked it out? Surely they realise there will be ex establishment people very eager to say things like this, and this still assumes that GD is saying this in good faith.

6. Another of my questions. CSJ is a mole and LTK is a mole? So where are the potential opposition members who are NOT moles. Joined pap to change things from within? Funny that all the leaders from opposition parties who can make or have made a difference are branded and tainted. So what even if they were recruited or attempted to be recruited? All those who were recruited consented and stayed the course?
So if the mole is winning elections here and there and just making sure there is no change of power, what are the non-moles doing? Are there any non-moles even?

Let me say this again. I'm not that big a fan of WP or LTK.
I get angry when people who were members of an oppressive establishment for years, try to convince that they have this potential trump card in their hands, which ends up giving no choice to the Singaporean people.
This is even more despicable than being a pappy and claiming all opposition are moles, or even being an opposition mole who stands for elections and tries weakly to speak up for the ordinary citizens. In the meantime, the book sells like hotcakes because it is controversial.

anyway i support WP because they are no.2 now. when wp become no.1, i will support the no.2 again. i dont believe in one person control all in politics, i believe the best is balancing between 2 parties. and if Singaporeans are more mature in politics in future, best situation is multiple parties to represent different voices.

Exactly, and we are not clones of each other. My chinese for one is atrocious, unlike yours.

Having the trump card that all those vying to be number two and eventually number one are all moles is one very good way of ensuring that number one remains where they are always.

You are looking for binary answers and you will not get it. Not that people are not willing to disclose but because it is of a complex nature. If I tell someone that they can only be with their mum if they state categorically that their mum is perfect with no flaws, guess what the answer is going to be?

There is an old British film and I think it had Michael Caine in it where the British Intelligence wanted to cover all the bases where a clandestine meeting of a certain group was to occur. In their pursuit via various departments, they compromised every individual thru various means - blackmail, money, sex, patriotism, misrepresentation etc. In the end the entire clandestine group was working for the same master but no one within the group realised that until much later. The bosses because of compartmentalisation were also not aware.

In the early years, this was the approach applied in Singapore. Some are lamp posts, some moles, some agents, some think they are patriots and some think they are working for the Opposition security team.

JBJ's WP was throughly compromised, Chiam wasn't exactly a basket case when it came to team work, Harbans is not a wall flower and Seow was caught red handed and now doing "sterling" work and now they going to give him the star of temasek for his latest coup. NSP was never a political party. Ever heard of "blocking"in American Football so that the path is limited to a few.

People like SL and her father in particular know these realities. SL met JBJ a few time and in her home before signing up. You work within the system and influence the outcome. In this day and age, in this day and age, it harder for the incumbent govt to get away with similar methods as easily as in the past.

Despite all that, votes are invaluable. They are now making the difference. So now watch the blocks and the ministers moving seats as the options dry up.

bro, sometime no need to say so much about all these. 谣言止于智者. still remember 三国演义 蒋干盗书? me was from SPF and GD from SPF then into ISD. we know a lot of things, but sometime how sure are we about the intentions of those who created and spread the info to us? or did the top feed us with something they want us to know?

GD is a good guy and i trust him for what he said. we both know how the establishment work. but sometime some details might not be truth due to the misleading or info purposely fed to us. so sometime ignorance is bless.

be focus on voting pap out and dont care so much about all these things. why? because your vote matters! and why pap doing all these mole (presumably its true) thing its because of the votes! u get what i mean? so vote them out, no matter what and even LTK is a mole! like what i said, people will wake up and start wanting alternative voices in the parliament. its not about wp or pap or sdp, its about future of sg. pap cant even tolerate other alternative voice and expect us to take in tonnes of foreign trash from third world countries and white trash?

remember, vote pap out! now wp is the most hopeful opposition, so we vote them in. when wp become strongest, we will vote for the 2nd to balance things up. can even have multiple parties to balance things up if people are more wise and savvy with politics. ignore all the noise from those parties, political blogs and political analysis. gang up with the weaks to control the strong.

I feel if the PAP is so shrewd with its Great Plan, so omnipresent everywhere, including inside the Opposition Parties' upper echelons, then why it is that they have fared so badly in understanding the ground?

GD said one of his closest friends inside were told to distance himself from him. Maybe, just maybe, GD has served his purpose. Could he be the one used to "leak" this piece of information for all to listen. He thought they knew him here. Why didn't they stop him here? Wouldn't such a plan work better in secrecy rather than be revealed out in the open? Ain't they not afraid that LTK can be usurped by those within his party and scuppered the plan?

Questions. Too many questions. In this game of intelligence and counter-intelligence, I doubt even the Old Man himself knows he still have any mole, assuming he had moles to start off with.

You don't get it. Golden Dragon is the one who is revealing his binary answers. Black is black and white is white.
He came to know a piece of information xx years ago, it has to mean this.
This reeks of someone entrenched in the establishment for years who is convinced that his "information" is solid.
At best, he is someone with an establishment mentality who is full of what he knows. At worst he is a pap instigator with a trump card.

At least he is consistent and insistent in his view. Of course he needs to be, because if some people believe it, he will continue to say it, and if many people believe it, he will sell lots of books.
scroobal, please stop posting in vague riddles and answer this:
Is LTK a pap agent or not? Make your stand clear once and for all.
Answer this question and you will never have to waver in your opinion of this man forever. We are not discussing whether he has overachieved or not or whether he is a great politician.

My stand is that he is not, because I cannot logically figure out what activities he has been involved in which has caused harm to the livelihood of the ordinary Singaporean citizen. Note that this is again my emphasis and it still sickens me that we have this establishment henchman here spouting wiseass remarks while the ordinary man is struggling.

Please see my reply to scroobal, it answers some of your points too.
I am still willing to accept that GD has an establishment mentality and is full of himself and is not a cunning instigator.
What I want him (and possibly scroobal too) to accept is that they may have seen this or heard that, but their final conclusion and insinuation may be wrong. That's all.

I don't think you or I can also be 100% certain that they are wrong either. But what we are posting here is based on what we see over the years and the logical sequence of events..
If there was another guy who was making headway, I would be more inclined to accept his views, even if biased. But what he is doing now is preparing a trump card for the pappies, the joker they play when all else fails, including apologies, grovelling, carrots, sticks, threats, curses, brainwashing, etc.
Don't be so silly to think that an annonymous ex-member of the establishment who once was a compatriot is automatically a nice guy. Let's continue to read his posts on police procedure and HFJs and praise them for their informative and entertainment value.

Good points FS.
I'm not claiming that GD is a lousy inaccurate forummer or even a nasty guy.
What I want to make sure is that he does not continue to be so cocksure of himself on this particular topic, and in establishing a pattern of knowledge and information through his posts, convinces many that his insinuation is correct.

Reference to my previous thread:
http://singsupplies.com/showthread.php?138412-The-Authentic-Forummer

The authenticity of his Persona and even most of his Posts may be verifiable by those in the know. But nobody except he himself has the foggiest clue about his Purpose. I am definitely not assuming that his purpose is for the sake of the ordinary Singaporean.

Neither am I allowing his insinuation to stand or to continue, on the basis that he was an establishment insider or that he cannot reveal more or that it is complex. What he is claiming goes to the core of a person's standing. He is not getting away with this for the sake of his own standing in an online forum or to sell books.

Unfortunately it will always be in riddles as long as OSA is in place.. Let me take an analogy and a seemingly like hearted one at that. Do you remember the blog http://www.talkingcock.com/html/article.php?sid=2758.

It was political satire aimed squarely at the establishment and to the discerning ones it was absolutely clear. Loaded with barbs, insinuation and innuendoes. It was run from NY. Everyone knew who was running it. The guy running it had sound legal background. Even if sued, no court can go thru singlish with double entendres and come out hoping for a conviction.

The authorities grudgingly laughed with it and the PM mentioned it during a National Day Rally.

The point is as long as only a few can figure out the cryptic messages and the rest who have the mentality of grassroots leaders cannot figure it out, their political base is safe but they know they were losing credibility within the discerning. The numbers still favoured them.

SBF is no different. GD is here for the very same reason and so am I. Did it ever strike you why GD whose identity can be easily be figured out is not in Hardware zone.

i know you are genuine and I know you are looking for answers but we have to be careful that GD does not lose his pension. You can see that his heart is in the right place and so is his moral compass. And I am fully aware that no one's character is being assassinated or impugned by what he says.
