It is going to be a tough fight and unfortunately, Yaw-gate has damaged WP and opposition parties as a whole quite badly.
Goh Meng Seng
YSL incident's impact on WP is indisputable. But if there's damage to WP and opposition in general, then you're partly responsible. Your neutral political comments at that time were anything but neutral. 煽风点火, 幸灾乐祸. You keep going at YSL and WP, talking about the same issues over and over again until people began to ignore you.
Yet you can talk about the damage as if you're an outsider. Sorry Mr. Goh, whether you agree or not, most rational people who have the misfortune of seeing you in actions will know what you've done to opposition over the last few months with your relentless pursuit after the YSL incident and WP.
I heard quite a lot of negative things about you before this forum. I'm always skeptical about what I did not experience myself. I've come to conclude that those comments are true. In fact, I think they were rather kind about you. The worst thing is your lack of integrity. Have you forgotten you still owe this forum an explanation on why you made a drastic change of position from advocating a 3-corner fight (and that it's good for opposition) and then later said it should be between WP and PAP? Did you explain your dramatic change of position? NO. Or how about your comparison between Png and DC? Calling Png much weaker than DC (just like DPM TCH) is fine. But at least you must say why you think so, no? You're an analyst/commentator, no? Then all you could say is DC handled the media interview better, which I would agree. But weren't you the one who talked about substance being more important than form? How could you conclude that DC is better just based on one interview or his media exposure alone? What about other qualities such as empathy? How about dedication and commitment? Your judgement on one interview alone is really shallow. But worst of all, you contradicted yourself where you were emphasising on substance earlier.
Like that how to trust you? And yet you have the skin to talk about honesty, integrity and transparency. 做贼喊抓贼
