When will be the next general election?
PM Lee said that it will be when nobody is expecting it. How can it be? People are expecting it to be held at any time from now to 2017. Whichever date he chooses, somebody will be expecting it. When the election is called, nobody will be surprised. Every political party is getting ready for it to be called tomorrow, or at any time after that!

It will be perfect timing to have GE this year. There is nothing wrong to use the "LKY card" to win the GE. Perfectly legitimate.
And honestly, if you were to feel the sentiment today, there is no question that PAP will get the majority of votes by popularity concensus.
During the period of LKY's mourning, a lot of people woke up to the fact that the man had given his entire life to building Singapore to what it is today. Even children are warming up to him as a hero. Pictures, cards, wreaths and flowers were laid for him as tributes. Tears welled up for those who paid their last respects to the late LKY.
I wouldn't be surprised that the PAP will return with a significant larger win this time round.
In fact, I think the Amos Yee's video did the Opps a huge disfavor as it was done in poor taste and worst, it challenged the government policy of religious harmony which has taken many years to build up the harmony and peace.
Any Opps which wants to side with Amos Yee has to think twice because they may not want to be seen as agreeing with him on his anti-Christianity stand, his blatant unfilial piety, his rude arrogance and extreme vulgarities.

if the 100 days are observed then it will be end Jun onwards
Well said. That's why I predict a 65% win at least, coupled with the mismanagement of funds by the WP and Sylvia still being silent on it.
but .... if his secret Journal or Dairy point to a unexpected day then be done with it
battleship? PM Lee’s story about Lee Kuan Yew’s telegram
By Hannah Teoh | What’s buzzing?*–*Mon, Apr 6, 2015

Yahoo Newsroom - Lee Kuan Yew's old telegram. (Picture from Lee Hsien Loong's Facebook page)
A little over a week after Lee Kuan Yew’s funeral, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong shared a lighthearted story about finding an old telegram sent by his father to his mother back in 1958.
While still a practicing lawyer, the elder Lee set a telegram from Sarawak to his law firm, Lee & Lee in 26 September 1958. The message intended for his wife read “ARRIVING TODAY BATTLESHIP = LEEKUANYEW”.
Mrs Lee did not understand the message. A check with the British Naval Base indicated there was no battleship coming from Sarawak.
“My father did arrive home that day, but not by battleship. He explained that he wanted steam boat for dinner, but as ‘steam boat’ was two words, and telegrams were charged by the word, he wrote ‘battleship’ instead, to save words and money!” explained PM Lee.
Alas, that change in one word meant that there would be no steam boat for dinner at the Lee household.* *
The elder statesman passed away on 23 March after a long battle with pneumonia.
The story and photo of the telegram was posted on PM Lee’s Facebook on Monday afternoon. Within two hours, it got over 35,000 likes and 3,000* shares.
“Gosh! Im so craving for battleship tonite (sic),” wrote user Sylvia Yong.
Another comment was particularly poignant. “Dear PM, your father went to Sibu to help with my father's (deceased) case. My family has mostly moved to Singapore since 1969!!! This case was mentioned in your father's book and makes us feel so honoured,” wrote a Facebook user by the name of Rosemary Lau.
A user named Brian Raynard Ho, meanwhile, added some snark to the comment section by asking, "Why cannot write STEAMBOAT?" while another user, named, Adrian Lim, decided to christen the "RSS Lee Kuan Yew" in the former PM's honour.
Many users said they too will now refer to steamboat as 'battleship'.
Looks like a new word has been added
He won the War, but lost the GE in 1945...... Biggest surprise which will be paled by Spore GE 2015
The 1945 UK elections resulted in the election defeat of the government led by Winston Churchill and the landslide victory of the Labour Party led by Clement Attlee, who won a majority of 145 seats.
The result of the election came as a major shock to the Conservatives, given the heroic status of Winston Churchill, but reflected the voters' belief that the Labour Party were better able to rebuild the country following the war than the Conservatives. Churchill and the Conservatives are also generally considered to have run a poor campaign in comparison to Labour; Churchill's statement that Attlee's programme would require "some form of a Gestapo" to implement is considered to have been particularly poorly judged.
Equally, though voters respected and liked Churchill's wartime record, they were more distrustful of the Conservative Party's domestic and foreign policy record in the late 1930s. Labour had also been given, during the war, the opportunity to display to the electorate their domestic competence in government under men such as Attlee, Herbert Morrison and Ernest Bevin at the Ministry of Labour.
The Labour Party ran on promises to create full employment, a tax-funded universal National Health Service, the embracing of Keynesian economic policies and a cradle-to-grave welfare state, with the campaign message 'Let us face the future.'
Some kind of fishing village and m&d land Singapore is back in 1958 to have telegram and telephone.
...............
you didn't need to be a modern metropolis back then to set up radiotelegraphy for transmission of morse codes among fishing villages and mudland. that was how remote colonies on islands communicated with one another. all you needed was a transmission shelter and tower with the wireless telegraphy equipment and a local diesel generator to provide the power. that was how many allied spies and special ops who infiltrated deep in enemy territory worked in ww2. eventually running low on fuel or battery life, they would have to abandon sites as electrical power was key in maintaining communications.

Either you are daft enough to swallow the fishing villages and mudland lies hook, line and sinker or you are just perpetuating the lie.
Old fart was sending his telegram from Sibu (Sarawak) to Lee & Lee (whose telegraph address was KYLEGAL SINGAPORE).
Here, see for yourself. Singtel itself already has 130 years of operating experience.
the posted claim that singtel has 130 years of operating experience is one thing we can mull over. the disingenuous claim to automatically equate telegraphy with the modernity of a cuntry as prerequisite is another that needs to be culled.
