How did WP select Angela Oon as their candidate?

And yet she put her time, money, and job on the line to stand for election and allow her fellow citizens to vote. If that isn't sincerity and love for country I don't know what is. How many Singaporeans have done as much for Singapore as she has? You're trying to stir up anti-foreigner and racial tensions here. How does that make you a true Singaporean? You're sowing discord and divisiveness, everyone can see that.

WP supporters have been stirring anti-foreigner and racial tension in this forum.Just read this forum.

Where were you hiding when the WP supporters and members were posting these anti-foreigner and racist remarks in this forum?

Did you not just use the FT word on Angela? You seriously lack objectivity. Now your credibility just runs low.

They're not my comrades. And I don't see those remarks as racially motivated to hurt or deprive. They're bad taste but this is a forum where there is a liberal dose of coarse language among other things, no? If you're so easily offended, then there are more than racists here. There're sexists and homophobics, etc, no?

You're entitled to be anti-WP for all I care. But you lack objectivity and hell bent on racialising issues to push your agenda. You're in bondage and unless you learn to harmonise with the real world, you're going to be very angry and it just makes your life more miserable each day.

Have peace.

You are just a hard-core WP supporters, pretending to be non-partisan. Simple.

If you are not so offended by all the racist remarks posted by your WP comrades, well, it just show that you're a very very normal WP supporter. You have been successfully indoctrinated, so stop pretending like a non-partisan.

Haha, I'm very clear when a person is racially motivated, and when he's not. Using derogatory remarks per se are not necessary racists.

Racism is a lot more than just using abusive words. If there's unfair and unjust acts, then I'll be concerned. Such as people trying to racialise issues for personal agenda.

WP? Sorry, mate. I'll NEVER support WP the way you think I would. WP could lose HG, Aljunied and every constituencies for all I care. But Singaporeans must NEVER lose. Playing the race card will cause Singapore to lose.

You know what is simple? The truth. Something you can't see right now because you're blinded.

Maybe a trip to the mountain may help :wink:

Don't exagerate her 'sacrifices'. It doesn't take a lot to stand for election, especially as a modern day WP candidate. If elected, which was a realistic possibility in the last GE, the rewards could be huge.

Oh? Do you know that the WP didn't give their candidates a cent for their campaigns, unlike the SDP? All the money came out of their pockets and each candidate spent about 10-15K. Angela also lost her job at a stat board. Yet have you ever heard her complaining? Don't belittle anyone's sacrifices in running as opposition. You don't know what they've been through.

Yeah right, Low Thia Khiang and his cronies didn't give JBJ any money for his fight against bankruptcy charges...All the money come out of his pocket and public donation. JBJ also lost most of his business and lawyer license.

Yet, LTK cronies continue to belittle his sacrifices for the party. Do they know what he'd been through?

JBJ was forced to quit the party which he had fought so hard for most of his life.....

Perhaps, Sylvia Lim also refers to JBJ forced exit from the party, when she smears the Indian community as quitter.

Bedouin, please get your facts right. When Angela Oon contested the GE in 2011 she was no longer working for a statutory board -- she was already a Masters Degree student at NUS. She had had made the decision to leave the stat board before the election.

Unlike the SDP? Another typical smear by a WP thug.

Hello, all the SDP candidates came up with money from their own pockets to fund not just the ancillary expenses but also the election deposits in GE 2011. Much more than the $10-15K figure you quote for WP.

By the way, haven't you read the The SDP Promise - our MPs' pledge? Where the SDP candidates pledge to donate at least 50% of their MP allowance if elected into Parliament?

As far as I know, no other party has made such a pledge.

The SDP pledge is hollow. Most if not all MPs spent the 15k per month on events and helping the needy in their constituencies anyway.
Don't you know?

I think YOU should be the one to get your facts right. She did not "make the decision" to leave the stat board. In fact, she lost her fellowship there.

Aiyoh brother, I am not smearing the SDP. In fact it's the opposite since I have more friends in the SDP than WP. Now, I know for a fact that the SDP candidates did not pay out of their own pockets, not even for ancillary expenses. But that is a GOOD thing, because it means that the party values its candidates and supports their campaigns out of party funds. All the donations to the WP, and not a single cent given to the candidates? What does that tell you about the WP and how it treats its own people?

I don't really see what the issue is. What does being cadre have to do with being an MP candidate? They are not mutually exclusive. I mean, just look at the PAP. Are you going to demand that PAP reveal, for the sake of transparency and accountability, why most of their MP candidates are not in the PAP cadre?

There are some things that we are not privy to, such as internal strategies and policies of the parties. Don't forget the political parties and governments are different things. The government is run on public funds and we should expect greater transparency and accountability from them. Political parties are funded privately, and there are limits to what kind of information about themselves they should make public.

There are things that we can criticize WP and PAP about, but their cadre policies isn't one of them.

Why not sir? You mean to say the criteria for cadreship is stricter than that of a GE candidate? What logic is that?

Re: How's The Breasts ?

She and Yaw are friends. I think he roped her into WP. As for candidacy, assuming Yaw recommended, don't think anyone will question his recommendation. Just my guess.
