Almost all parents will go through this once in their lifetime. Those who need not worry are - alumnis - had kids in the targeted schools - managed to find time and $$$ to volunteer (slave) some time to the school - some affliated clan member - some affiliated church member - grassroot leaders...

Who is this Seah Kian Peng guy? Understand that he is the Income CEO but still.... maybe LHL wants people he can control in the CEC but end power always rest in the voting cadres and presumably the Lees still have the numbers needed to control the country from there. Don't understand the...

Following the results via TOC and TR facebooks. Very close fight.

What a masterstroke. By allowing TJS into the election he has managed to completely splinter the anti-PAP votes and turn the opposition to TT into complete disarray, biting and cannibalising each other. Just look at this forum, and across the internet space. You have to admire the old...

Typical PAP tactic to have the "last say" before cooling-off day.

This looks far more credible than a 49% for TJS post that someone else made.

Elections in Singapore are won by convincing the middle ground to vote for you. TCB has a very sound strategy which most people do not see nor appreciate. He has refrained from campaigning like a GE politician, has moderate things to say, comes across very well on the presidential broadcast...

I got his letter/flyer and a smaller namecard sized advert but no coca-cola. Nonsense allegations.

My own thinking (and based on my sources) TT - 40-45% TCB - 25-30% TJS - 20-25% TKL - <10% Spoilt / Absent - 5-7% Absent any major snafus, TT will become president on 27th. I will be very happy to be proven wrong but most people do not understand that for core PAP voters the recommended...

More clarifications from PAP. The cowboy towns are now so powerful, they are forcing PAP to hop around dousing rumours lest it inflame sentiments further before the presidential elections. They must be so pissed.... From ChannelNewsAsia ============================================= SINGAPORE...

Agree on that. I too noticed that 2 or 3 out of the 4 got grassroots activities including the PRC girl. Don't forget that LKY views SG citizens as the dregs from China, while in his own words "China has all the intellectuals while we are the descendents of coolies etc so they should do well".

You have a point in all that you have said. Those who have voted against PAP this year may have felt that they have moved mountains (the effort) with precious little to show for it except one GRC and a government still very much in charge. I see this as a tangible result that the poll box do...

My own take is this - they are right in the sense that the HDB problem can be solved. Supply, as long as there is enough, will do its part to suck demand away from resale market and private housing and gradually moderate prices. - tertiary education is probably next easiest to handle, the...

scroobal, as low as you think of China, I would say that the US is a warmongering empire with troops all around the world stirring shit in places where they have no business being in. You can call them a benign superpower but to me they are just another devil in a different disguise. Being a...

Agree that Tony Tan is now the favourite. A one-on-one would have been to risky for PAP and hence they are now allowing a free-for-all to split the 40% opposition vote and hope that Tony Tan can hold onto the majority of their 60% base.

For those who are not aware of the process, the application for COE had closed. The candidates will know over the course of next week when the PEC awards the eligibility cert, on who can go on to try and get a mandate from the people. I believe a presidential election should be held even if...

If you merge this with the 60.1% who voted for PAP but has nothing to do with this online poll, Tony Tan will crush all the other contenders.

Shanmugam is but a point man for this issue. Remember in the GE he tried to take the hatchet to WP in the co-driver ding dong. Same here. PAP is generally very organised when it comes to presenting their public position, or attacking various issues / people. The recent past GE is somewhat of...

Confuseous is right in that PAP is extremely worried and are trying hard to "manage expectations", by impressing on constitutional boundaries so that anyone who wants to campaign on a "I will fight the cheng hu" platform will be viewed negatively as a trouble maker by the electorate...

I am sure LKY held his view in high esteem.
