You really believe that: - a solitary MP who built a town council from scratch, brick by brick with no support whatsoever, and ran it smoothly for the next 20 years - a lawyer qualified enough to enter an elusive polytechnic law faculty - a Rhodes scholar who took charge of Hong Kong's...

I have been observing this Victor Lye for months, and I find that he engages in very confrontational and destructive politics. From a neutral perspective, you can say he's PAP's "Chee Soon Juan". Not the real Chee who is intelligent and writes many books, but the one who has been demonised by...

It's indeed a contrast: PAP supporters: enjoy opposition town council services but do not want to pay conservancy fees WP supporters: have to pay PAP government taxes but do not enjoy PAP government services PAP wards: taxpayers money is given to PAP government as well as PAP run town...

PAP trick of creating "former opposition supporters" is not new. Our neighbours in the north already used it, even until recently. http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/barisans-event-to-showcase-150-dap-members-switching-sides-ends-in-confusio Barisan’s event to showcase 150...

While Koh Poh Koon moves to Ang Mo Kio GRC his replacement Yee Chia Hsing assumes his duties. Not much known about him but he set up a Facebook for himself. http://www.facebook.com/YeeChiaHsing Uncharismatic, unfortunately. Even the media didn't seem to have taken notice of him yet.

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/pap-activists-in/1532858.html At least in 2016. One big reason - the PAP Aljunied lamb team is not united. They were a bunch of sacrificial lambs hobbled together with no experience in teamwork or leadership. With no $ to bind them like the other...

Mystery of the Cynical Investor(s). Hard to imagine these articles: https://atans1.wordpress.com/2014/11/24/worthless-party-living-up-to-its-name/ https://atans1.wordpress.com/2014/11/23/ahpetc-sadly-pap-ib-gets-it-right/...

In 1980, 7 opposition parties contested 38 seats, with 37 walkovers for the PAP. That's about 50%-50% contest. At that time, WP was one of the 7 plethora of small parties. There was no major opposition party. Parliament had no opposition MPs. Today, without WP, the "7 opposition" scenario will...

http://forums.fuckwarezone.com.sg/eat-drink-man-woman-16/ib-jason-chua-apologised-after-victim-made-police-report-defamatory-posting-fb-4829409.html Actually, all the Facebook posts by "Fabrications Against PAP" are the same in nature. Therefore I am surprised he apologized only for this and...

Is it possible that a former NMP who started his Facebook only in 2013 has more Facebook "Likes" than several ministers, government pages and political parties? Until we realize that 3 days ago, it was 9,600. Today it is 9,900. Facebook "Likes" can be bought as seen in below link...

Jamie Lee, one of the 11 and among the majority of former PAP members, is not part of the now 10-member CEC. That leaves the party with only 1 other female. Good luck to the new election-only party...

We are counting down 20 months before the next GE and the Singaporeans First hasn't been registered. With that little time to do whatever they can do, they will be on the same starting point like Reform Party no matter how much credentials they can flash among their members. Even RP had a good 3...

Good summary of opposition parties on Pink vs White: http://www.allsingaporestuff.com/article/the-politics-winning-pink-votes-singapore RP: Yes NSP: No WP: Divided, so no stand taken SDP: Party no, some members yes

Recently, the WP (LTK) was challenged by PAP (LHL) in parliament about providing alternatives, which we know WP has an abundant supply of in their manifesto. The SDP wrote about themselves selling "alternatives" and we know they have them in the form of several papers. The NSP was "praised" by...

So is this a flip-flop or a policy shift. If it is a policy shift Khaw has to admit it (or else it will be a flip-flop according to LHL) and start firing at Goh Chok Tong right away, who introduced the votes-for-upgrading strategy in 1996. SINGAPORE: National Development Minister Khaw Boon...

"Politics purely for the sake of power, without any notion of what we want Singapore to become, will lead us to disaster." "Politics purely for the sake of power" - jailing, suing and bankrupting opposition candidates, expanding GRCs, introducing NMPs, political donations laws, People's...

Excerpts: If the people continue to support a government party that uses high-handed tactics against its political opponents, we are endorsing a bullying political culture. If the people support a governing party that uses governmental resources, including civil servants, to serve its...

We might have heard from the grapevine for some time, but here's the official news from Zaobao. http://www.zaobao.com.sg/realtime/singapore/story20140523-346429 Sorry it's in Chinese and I'm not too good with translations.

Dear President Tony Tan, I refer to the part of your speech on "constructive politics". I agree that in "constructive politics" no strong opposition party should force the government into populist measures or take up populist measures themselves if they become the government. I believe...
