I remember there were a few things that undid GY's team. Some were: a workers' dormitory was put up in Serangoon Gardens estate despite objections from residents, old man threatened voters they would suffer consequences if they did not vote PAP in and the immigrant issue was starting to rear its head. Anyway, intelligence gathering before the polls would have indicated that Aljunied GRC might fall and the political masters would have been alerted. In the 1976 General Election there was a last minute switch of PAP candidate in Kg Chai Chee when feedback from the ground showed the opposition candidate JBJ might win. PAP candidate Shari Tadin was replaced with Fong Sip Chee. The latter won. In the 1988 GE, Tay Eng Soon was sent at the last minute to successfully counter WP's Francis Seow and his team in the Eunos GRC. If LHL had used the same tactic probably GY and his team would have been saved.

Your point? LHL wanted to get rid of GY and co?

In 1997 GE, GCT sent in himself and his fellow "heavyweights" to try and avert a loss in Cheng San to WP's team. :rolleyes:

In 2011 GE, LHL could have put himself in Aljunied GRC, but of course he didn't, and the rest is history. :wink:

Before everyone forget, pinkie DID chop off part of the orh koo (黑區)hougang from aljunied grc in the hope of reducing WP votes and add in the pap stronghold of kaki bukit. Apparently, the term stronghold was exaggerated as it seems areas that return in the high 70% for pap can swing as much as 20% when it WP contesting as proven when WP won all the divisions inside the grc.

That's Charles Chong and he's just an MP!

Charlie Chong not doing his job as as MP in Pasir Ris..

1. The crowd at our poly clinic is unbearable.

2. At least 20 condo projects going to TOP soon and you will have tens of thousands new residents moving in. Ripple Bay, Livia, NV Residence. D"Nest are all big condo projects.

3. The MRT platform is overflowing and one day commuter will drop off from the platform.
He should pushed for more exits for commuters at the station.

Charlie..please do your job for the residents and do duty to the Nation.

You bet he is. He is also the same one who warned low class sinkie peasants they are not of a certain class, dont go casinos and stick to 4D and Toto. WP struck paydirt by correctly targeting him as the weakest minister.

George was philosophically and religiously opposed to the casinos. He has indicated that in the past. But when Old Fart and Gay Loong want the casinos what can you do? Fight against them?

Yes, he's def Roman Catholic and I don't think he's for the Casino but as like all RC in PAP has to go along with it. I think the fella S Iwaran prob is the architect for the Casinos not George. Wrong target!

Also remember that LHL had gerrymandered in Aljunied just before GE2011, he removed a big part of Hougang (under Yeo Guat Kwang) to AMK GRC, and replaced it with Kaki Bukit. Without that gerrymandering, PAP's margin of loss in Aljunied would have been at least 5% greater.

The constituency PAP lost biggest in Aljunied was Serangoon constituency (Lim Hwee Hua) where WP won 60% of the vote. But PAP also lost each of the other 4 constituencies in Aljunied too, so it was total defeat for PAP. It was near impossible for PAP to avoid defeat in Aljunied, LHL should have replaced GY with himself in Aljunied if he had the balls, maybe then PAP would have had a chance :biggrin:

He could have stepped down instead of waiting until he got voted out. Same for Lim Boon Heng, who could also have stepped down, instead of waiting until he retired and cry about it. :rolleyes::wink:
