PAP's new candidate for Fengshan: I'm not a sacrificial lamb - See more at: http://www.tnp.sg/news/singapore-ne...-im-not-sacrificial-lamb#sthash.gtsAmHhZ.dpuf


For a candidate described by some as a People's Action Party (PAP) sacrificial lamb for the Fengshan SMC seat, Ms Cheryl Chan, 38, didn't talk like one. She is not your traditional hotshot candidate with a lengthy list of achievements and qualifications. Her major claim to fame? Ms Chan has been volunteering in Fengshan for about 10 years. After Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say introduced her, she took to the microphone, cool as cucumber.

She tackled the questions calmly, including the one about her being a sacrificial lamb. She said: "What's important for us now is for the PAP team that has been on the ground in Fengshan, are we able to serve the residents? Are their interests and welfare being looked after? "For someone who has this engagement and experience, it's a natural step that I would have taken to lead this team." Oh, and as a former resident of Fengshan - she lived there for 12 years - she had something to say about that whole orh luak (oyster omelette) remark. "Orh luak is not my favourite local dish, laksa is. Also, at the Bedok Block 85 food centre, the most famous dish is the bak chor mee," said Ms Chan.

Workers' Party (WP) chairman Sylvia Lim had sparked talk of the party's interest in the ward when she earlier remarked that the taste of Fengshan was delicious while posing with a plate of orh luak. Mr Lim said Ms Chan was PAP's candidate for Fengshan SMC, replacing former Transport Minister Raymond Lim, who is retiring. PAP'S EAST COAST GRC TEAM: Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry and National Development Lee Yi Shyan, 53, Minister of State for National Development and Defence Mohamad Maliki Osman, 50, Ms Jessica Tan, 49, Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say, 61. TNP PHOTO: PHYLLICIA WANG He too discounted talk of Ms Chan being a sacrificial lamb. Mr Lim said Ms Chan is the best person because she has been deeply engaged with Fengshan residents for the past 10 years.

Furthermore, Fengshan had polled "fairly even" with the four other East Coast GRC wards. Ms Chan, who is single, started volunteering in 2005 after the then-Fengshan resident wrote in to the PAP asking how she could help out. She intends to champion two causes if elected - help for the elderly and children from less privileged backgrounds. Singapore Management University Associate Professor Eugene Tan said Ms Chan's profile and experience makes her a perfect fit. "She has much local knowledge of the ground and the residents know her...Putting in a higher-profile name, but who is unfamiliar with Fengshan, may then actually be a sacrifice."

If she gets elected, I urge her to donate all of her MP's salary to the elderly and children from less privileged backgrounds. Now that would be "sacrificial". :rolleyes:

There is a chinese saying 猛虎不及地頭蛇. In political term it means a powerful figure from elsewhere will be of no match to a candidate with very strong local knowledge and grassroots backing.

To fight this battle, WP need to fight grassroots with grassroots. Much will depend on their groundworks they covered in the past 4 years. LLL type of candidate will be more suited in FS smc than SL or GG. And this itself present a strategic dilemma for WP. It means they need to send someone who has been working on the ground in EC to counter her and this will weaken WP team in EC. If WP don't take the bait, chances are pap will win FS smc.

People who thinks that she is an easy piece of meat will be badly mistaken. I won't be surprised if pap lose EC GRC but retain FS smc. And to pap at least they retain a foothold here to recapture EC GRC in the subsequent election.
