None the wiser, I should say. Given the political landscape, the change in the poly's constitution would be seen as quite a huge compromise and raised eyebrows. If destination has been planned, questions would have been avoided by going direct after her law practice, instead of going thru poly. So why the trouble going thru poly?
Regardless, imo, it is the numericial numbers of opp represenation that should be build first, for balance. Get the balance in place interms of numbers, humans are greedy and rebellious beings. When the numbers are inplaced, it needs only a small spark to ignite intense competition amongst the lot to promote transparency and accountability.
Vote pappy, confirm you get a pappy. If one wants to achieve a system of robust checks.......no choice but go opps route
Sgp voters should not be concern about the cloak and dagger within policitical parties for now, but must focus on balance in numerical representation.
Even if there is horse-trading among parties, it makes it more difficult if we have more than two political parties with respective sizable numbers as mps.
Which begets the scrutiny of Sylvia herself.
A school girl from NJC to NUS,with a law degree and straight to masters.Not a political material by any stretch of imagination.Not in her U days at least.
Than a 3 years stint iin police force only as an inspector.In her time any one with an "A' level will achieve this.Than another three years practicing law in her own daddy firm M/s Lim and Lim.
You mean these qualified her as the Worker's Party's chairman?!!!!!
And in 2006 GE,her employer,the polytechnic...changed their constitution so that she can contest in the election.Now,everyone here knows that any person competing as an opposition candidate gets sacked by PAP.(In March 2006, Temasek Polytechnic modified its staffing policies to enable Lim to run as a candidate in the general election without having to resign her teaching position at the institution)
But the PAP made special provision for Sylvia.Why?
