As the general election draws near, failed PAP candidate Desmond Choo at the Hougang constituency has suddenly been seen making the rounds at the Tampines GRC.
In his Facebook posting last week, Mr Choo made mention of Tampines several times.
"Visited our residents from Blk 260 last night. Very glad to know that many of them were in good festive spirits. Most of them were residents of Tampines for more than 20yrs and their children continued to stay in Tampines after their marriage," he said.
"When asked why, it was simply, "We love Tampines".
One wonders though why he did not continue to stay in Hougang after the last general election, or why the PAP decided to move him out.
In fact, Desmond Choo had ran his campaign in the by-election in Hougang on being 'Always Here for You'.
But it looks like Mr Choo has decided to stop being there for the Hougang residents and have decided to turn heart towards Tampines.
Will 'We love Tampines' be his new slogan?
More importantly, will the Tampines residents buy into his sudden entrance?
On his Facebook, he also said, "We have gotten a lot of good feedback to improve the neighborhood. We need to continue to work hard to ensure that this will be the case for many years to come."
Just yesterday, Mr Choo also visited the markets to try to win more votes.
Once again, he spoke about how long the residents have been in Tampines.
"Many of the shopkeepers had been around since 1985.
"Their continued vibrance had continued to attract patrons from even outside Tampines. Was reminded by them frequently that the Merchant Association and Town Council relationship is the foundation of their livelihood.
"Seems like we have a strong bedrock in place," he said.
Looks like Mr Choo's strategy is to emphasise on the residents' stay at Tampines in the hope that by latching onto their presence that this can help him get voted into parliament.
Will the Tampines residents let it happen?
Mr Choo had failed in make inroads in Worker's Party-stronghold at the Hougang constituency and has been shifted to Tampines.
Tampines GRC is currently headed by ex-minister Mah Bow Tan who is widely unpopular, after his harshly-criticised housing policies. Mr Khaw Boon Wan, who took over him as National Development Minister, has also been criticised, especially for his remarks on how Singaporean households who earn only $1,000 are able to buy HDB flats.

Mr Choo, who was given the moniker, "auntie's killer", is not the only candidate who is parachuted into the Tampines GRC. At the last general election, Mr Baey Yam Keng who was previously at the Tanjong Pagar GRC, was also sent in, in a bid to help win the Tampines GRC.
But Tampines GRC only won 57.2 percent of the votes at the last general election and Mr Choo's move looks to be an attempt to stave off the possibility of the PAP losing the GRC at the next general election.
At the Hougang by-election in 2012, Mr Choo had asked Hougang residents not to vote for the Worker's Party as it will be four more years of "the same thing".
Thankfully, the Hougang residents did not listen to PAP's Choo.
Looks like his leaving is an acknowledgment of the Hougang's residents wanting more of "the same thing" with the Worker's Party.
"And if I may say, four years of the same thing is four years too long," Mr Choo had also said.
It does look like his patience and commitment to his Hougang residents was worn quite thin.
And four years is indeed "too long" for him. He has decided to jump ship to the Tampines GRC. Only time will tell if Mr Choo finds four years "too long" with the Tampines GRC.
Mr Choo's wife, Pamela, was known to be working at the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). They got married after two months after the 2011 General Election.
Desmond Choo was the National Trades Union Congress' (NTUC) deputy director of industrial relations and the National Transport Workers' Union's (NTWU) deputy executive secretary.
MOM and NTUC has refused to implement a minimum wage to protect workers in Singapore and have instead worked in cahoots with the government and businesses to cause the wages of Singaporeans to depress instead.

MPs such as Mah Bow Tan and Heng Chee Hao have lost elections before. They subsequently made it into parliaments by standing in order GRCs. Both made it to the ministerial levels, despite the people of Hougang and Potong Pasir SMCs fixing them temporarily. Desmond Choo would make a fine MP, thanks to the GRC system which allows us to vote in capable MPs which obstinate SMCs reject. They will be made to repent in due course.

Block 260 of Tampines East is Mabok Tan's strong hold.. I'm fuckin sure this fucktard Desmond is groomed to replace the short prick for the next GE.. One thing is for sure this fucktard will not be getting any votes from my family and long time neighbourhood Kakis still staying at Tampines East..

From words on the ground at Tampines East, Mabok Tan popularity went further downhill after the last GE.. Maybe its due to the many first time young voters who experienced their first ever GE and attended the WP rallies at Serangoon stadium.. I knew of many Tampines residents, young and old who took bus 81 from Tampines Interchange to head down to Serangoon to attend the WP rallies.. That priceless experience was an eye opener for them..
Tampines is a winnable GRC for WP.. Hardcore oppos like me are not choosy when it comes to the Oppo party contesting in Tampines.. We would even vote for a monkey over a Pappy Scum.. But I hope the WP will contest at Tampines for the next GE.. Choosy fence sitters at Tampines rather prefer an Oppo party like WP over parties like SDA, NSP..

If it is a multi-cornered fight, it's voting PAP out plus one collateral damage. If it is Desperate Lim or KJ, then it becomes hilarious

Re: Failed pap hougang candidate desmond choo (fap princeling) jumps ship to tampines
I would have to respectfully disagree. :o
Because of these Couple Of Points:
1. As long as pap is voted out, there is no damage. :p
2. It would be even more hilarious if the result was something like this:
WP/SDP/NSP/SFP: 40%
WP/SDP/NSP/SFP: 35% :(
PAP: 25%

Re: Failed pap hougang candidate desmond choo (fap princeling) jumps ship to tampines
The best chance to take down TM GRC was during last election. TM was there for the taking and GMS screwed it up. It really just too bad that opportunity like this only happened once and WP gave up TM GRC because of GMS. Bad mistake IMO.
WP already announced they will be contesting there in the coming GE which means there is a likelihood of 3cf. Whether WP can really challenge pap here very much depend on where their priority is. Do they want to focus entirely on EC GRC by sending they best candidates there or they decide to split the talent pool with TM GRC?
