With 3rd tier opposition like SDP contesting, it just really a matter of how much pap could win.

BE could only play to pap advantage now as it means they will enter the next GE likely on a winning note after losing PEBE.

But going by the landmark ruling of the court, a BE need to be held though it not stated if the ruling is applicable to smc or GRC.

it's not a bad idea for the pap to hold a by-election. test the waters before the general election. if they expect a big victory there, then it could provide a significant morale boast for them.

Expect PAP to win big! The people of Tanjong Pagar are intimately close to LKY. It's the founding father's very own ward. The folks of Tanjong Pagar are gonna fiercely defend that ward and ensure that any invading opposition contender will lose big time.

a defeat is unimaginable devastating to them. if they win by a close margin, it would be damn demoralizing. if it is an expected win margin, it is just much ado about nothing. if they want a significant morale boast, they have to win big like above 70%. think they are ball-less, so even if they believe they can win big, they wouldn't hold the by-election.

But if they delay, the mourning will have no effect on those most likely to cast sympathy votes.

People associate Singapore's progress to PAP. With or without Ah Gong, people are still gonna vote for PAP. The other political parties collectively contributed zilch to Singapore's progress. And people are mindful of that when they decide who to vote for.

But if they do it too quickly and lose or win by a little, it would be embarrassing.................. :o

To be safe and to ensure their progress, PAP should appoint the king of hindsight Mark Andrew Yeo Kah Ch$ng to replace LKY. :wink:
