Just back from meeting with the usual gang / contacts for late night supper and the terik. (ps. no ang mo in sight, must be at Orchard Rd / Clarke Quay on Saturday nights)
There are no plans to call a General Elections and that includes a scenario if the old man kicks the bucket.
The reason they announced the candidates early is that they learnt a good lesson from Workers Party during the Mango By-Elections at Punggol East SMC where the they trounced / analed the colorectal surgeon by 10%. The win was attributed to Lee Li Lian's profile prior to the elections and the fact that she covered the ground twice.
The long held practice of announcing candidates at the last minute has turned out to be an error. The decision has been made that except for civil servants, the rest will play a more prominent role at least one full year ahead. They are also expected to carry prominent role within the PAP Branch and other grassroots activities. Expect them to start visiting uncle and aunty and eating at your neighbourhood hawker centres on weekends. The Aljunied team is now complete.
Much debate of type of MPs that can win was also a contentious issue within the party. 34 years old, non-scholar, smile here, smile there, with the HDB look will take more prominent place. I suspect that new candidates claiming that they struggled to buy chopsticks are no longer acceptable.
The another major reason for the 2016 outlook is that a there are a raft of measures to soften the ground that has yet to be completed. Could not find out what exactly these are... akan datang.
