PAP in a bind in an unexpected quarter - Marine Parade

I enjoy Walt Disney too!
From what I heard, she was "offered" to GCT as a potential candidate by LHL to engage the Gen-Y crowd. Surely, he could have done some simple due diligence checks on her candidacy and rejected her. Instead he has opened a Pandora's Box.
You reap what you sow.
As in planning, it shows they are not infallible and this is one of those that cannot be explain away without exposing their weakness. There are thousands of much better choices that they had at their disposal. Any of the lady newsreaders can take her on anytime. To be a potential candidate in PAP, I would have thought they should have done a rigorous means testing. It is not as though they did not have enough time to search for a good one. This TPL is such a dud, she will be the downfall of GCT and together the ripple effects will be felt in the whole PAP machinery.
How can you insult chihuahua by comparing these smart and lovable pets to tintin?

Dear Bee Tock Kee
Regardless of the outcome of the next GE, I hereby order you to lay out plans to be executed with immediate effect 8th May 2011.
The objective is to plant top calibre young agents in the youth wings of all opposition parties to report back any new members of the Nicole Seah quality.
It is imperative this is to be done pronto and without fail or else...........

With due respect, you seem to have written off SDP's Teo Soh Lung. The Teo Soh Lung effect is also causing frayed nerves in Grace Fu's Yuhua SMC .
Scroobal,
Don't underestimate the conservatism of staunch Christians.
Based on what you hear about BT=Holland, would this not imply that the SDP would be well advised to ask Vincent to take a step back and allow Jee Say to lead the campaigning for the few remaining days?
Would that make a significant difference?

Yes, I thought Teo Soh Lung and Alex Tok would put up at least as good, if not better, a fight than Mrs Chiam
Bro Scroobal, with all respects, I think Aljunied will not fall to WP. I thinks that the Malay votes wil go to PAP so they gets Zainal as speaker of the House that PM promises. This is a very powerful effect. We not know how many new citizens are in the GRC, these usually votes for PAP. Combine these 2 groups already lost to WP, it is really very hard for WP to win. PAP should concentrate their efforts on the west areas instead. Although the West area are lousy candidates, but if the citizens very tulan they gets no attention and votes oppos, then the surprise will be very amusing!
I hope WP win Aljunied, although I think it is impossible. I will be happy to be prove wrong.

In the Westminster system, the speaker of parliament usually comes from the opposition, especially if the opposition has a sizeable presence.
Whatever happens, it looks like GCT's goose is cooked.
The Lee's have been forced to tolerate GCT because of the perception that he is invincible. His poll numbers are therefore supposed to be 70% to 80%. Such is the myth of GCT's invincibility that everyone intially thought that NSP was sending a suicide squad. This is in spite of empirical evidence showing that after the latest round of gerrymandering, the ground is incredibly sweet.
Hence if GCT polls 60% to 65% this election, this myth will be dispelled. There will then be no compelling reason to tolerate GCT any further.
I tend to agree that the NSP team in MP will poll around 40%. If that happens, I exepct that this will be the last term for GCT.
If the assessment about Holland-BK is correct, then the Goh camp is really in trouble. This is because they will be in out in the cold for the next 5 years with no one in positions of influence. They will find that loyalty is a fleeting thing.

He can always join up with his son in his new business.
You said once that you know junior, any news what business he will be starting?
The last report in the ST stated that he was leaving Parkway and would be starting his own business.
LHL has been kind to GCT. With only TinTin to shelter, GCT just needs 4 panadols a day. If FMH was also entrusted to GCT, surely he would need to take at least 8 panadols a day.
In conventional estimate,I think the PAP will get a very narrow victory with the Worker's Party, maybe narrowly winning between 2-3 %. The WP is hugely popular with the Chinese and Indian voters but i think the Malays will still vote for PAP, unless the WP has done a terrific job canvassing for Malay support(which they might have done given the very visible increase of young Malays in WP colours in their rally) or that there is a major shift away from their supported party. I don't think it is the Zainal's as speaker of Parliament issue but on the whole the Malays normally are conservative in choosing the one they are familiar with.
The 29K voters that are shifted to other GRCs also meant WP loses a significant numbers of votes compared to the last elections. Having said that however, there are several factors that may affect election outcome. This include the strong effect of the social media, the charisma of personalities, the track record of the govt in the past 5 years and the others.

I have alot of admiration for Ms Teo and know her background very well. She however is no politician and has not moved around enough to make an impact. She has been associating with ex-detainees on both sides of the causeway. Not many were aware of her desire to stand for election until the fall-out in RP occurred.
Many people are not aware of her sterling work in welfare, her Law Society fight with the establishment etc. These were long time ago and people have short memory. In contrast look at VW - he was nobody until he took the opportunity and made an immediate impact with his very first speech in Hong Lim.
It will be interesting how things pan out. Interestingly Grace Fu arrogance is Teo's best hope.

I understand that TJS and Michelle have been well received. I am keen to see all 3 be front and centre. VW is still the best at getting the message across. I think the next election when all these capable people are band together in a proper party, the PAP will certainly be in trouble.
Familiarity........ it's because she is always present in his social events.
Their main issue is publicity and awarness. Teo should have made her presence felt much much earlier. People like VW, WP with their Aljunied and Nicole Seah are stealing the limelight. Even Tong Tan and Hazel Poa are not getting attention on the net. For the first time, we have too many good people in opposition. Even vets like GMS, Glenda Han are not getting enough profile.
Zainal was supposed to stand down and go for the presidency. He has been retained to fight this battle. If they win, he will resign and go for the presidency. You are right, they need him.
Its Low and Sylvia that is going to make the difference. If they win, their votes are going to come from Ah Peh and Ah Soh who traditionally vote for PAP. As in Hougang albeit the Teochoew pull is noted, it still can be done.
Like you I can't wait for Aljunied to fall despite my respect for GY as a gentleman.
