I credit LTK for being a wily fox. His strategy is different and it is showing results with a minor setback with Punggol East. Nobody expected them to capture a GRC but they did. Some of us can appreciate how he is going about doing it. Every seat denied to the PAP is a body blow. He must be doing something right as he is drawing well qualified individuals into the party. The impact of WP has forced the PAP to start listening again.
The other point to note is Low leaving Hougang to stand in Aljunied. It is very rare show of courage by a political party leader to leave his strong hold. Old man never risked leaving Tanjong Pagar and neither is his son where AMK is concerned. On this a alone, he scores very highly and certainly better than anyone in PAP.
Why don't you read the Hansard and you will be surprised how the media has downplayed their efforts in parliament. They also have been targeted by the PAP on the town council matter. No other country expects their MPs to run town councils. It was a ploy to burden the opposition.
Anyway, there is no need to rely on WP or LTK. Anyone qualified can stand against the PAP and if their strategy works I am sure the voters will welcome them. There is nothing stopping them for standing against Low as well. Notice that WP is focusing on the East. The rest of country is wide open.
what fights did LTK picked and fought in the past 5 Y?.....
there're so many issues which affect laymen like us.. and yet all the WP behaved like mice...
1/ HTF a $1 company can be resolved in so many town councils estate????
