TJS and group to form new party

Any new party is welcome. TJS will be a strong magnet. Voters are looking up to well qualified people to increase the volume in parliament, and TJS will fit the bill. However, the Opp camp must organise the battle turf so there's no vote splitting, so that everywhere where the PAP is weakened, there is a strong challenger.

really? Welcome anybody?

Of course there are trade offs in anything. The alternative is a lacking party that guarantees you absolute candidacy but you have to put in even more hard work and that just to keep your deposit. I am not sure if that is any less of a "hard yard"; the reverse might be more true.



Agree and it's good if there was another party right now with WP's strength. Not only will we have an opposition back-up, the likelihood that WP and this party can work out a united front is higher.

Too many cooks spoil thee broth. Even in the UK, it's two major parties.

Sigh..after decades of tyrannic rules...there are still desires for quality candidates.
A decision should have been contrived by now to oust PAP regardless of qualification.

Voting the opposition candidate is to vote out the PAP. The better the opposition candidate, the lesser the chances of the PAP being voted back in soon.

The opposition should field candidates in all the seats but that doesn't mean they should not look for the best ones they can find.

3 corner fights do not always favour the opposition.

Agree. The logistical nightmare to organise a campaign for a GRC is real. One has to take on mighty PAP and People Association. WP proved that door to door visits delivers. Not the PAP version where they knock the door and run version.

3 PAP MPs have been converted to full time MPs to shore up their defences and to test the results. Clearly a control test is taking place.

One does not need just door to door visits but visits by people who can for a bond with residents in a mere 3 minutes or so. Looking at PAP candidates and flunkeys one suspects the reverse might happen when pitted against the WP.

Eric Tan and I are not one of the founders of TJS's party. We are at the moment, non-partisan and independent.

I know there are a lot of rumours going around about me forming party with XXX and I really do not know why there is so much interests in me forming a party in the first place. For the record, I am NOT going to form any party just yet.

Job stability is important. It brings home the bread. Stay put where you are. Free flowing essentials from PAP HQ is not something that one trifles with!

That's obvious and prudent. Now assuming you have a barber in your ward comes 2016 who would you vote?

PAP or the hair remover?

I really don't quite understand why WP people and IB are so afraid and scare of me forming a party. Well, WP is SOOOO STRONG AND POWERFUL, why afraid of 3 corner or multi-corner fights, especially from me? I am really nobody lah! Most probably if you put me in Punggol East and contest against Lee Lilian and PAP, I will lose my election deposits. Or put me in Hougang against Png Eng Huat, also sure lose my election deposits, right? If you really think so, why worry? These two are the weakest links of WP's group of MPs. Or even put me in Joo Chiat, JJ will still win Joo Chiat SMC and I will lose election deposits also! Haiz! Sometimes, I really wonder why you people are so worried over nothing.

Imagining things again, I presume.

Exactly. We know. That's why I said you are imagining things again.

Very soon there will be a Pinoy party and then a China party and an Ah Neh party and that will be the day the PAP will shit in its pants....

Meanwhile, any new Opposition party must accommodate the new citizens to break the iron grip of PAP, because their population is pretty sizable. If not, it is difficult to break the iron grip of PAP with the present Opp parties.

Winning one or two GRCs next election by any Opp is playing into the PAP's trap. As long as the 2/3 majority is not broken, it is a hollow victory, just like now.........a total waste of time, as nothing changes in parliament, as Opp is toothless.

In fact, there is no way to turn back the clock. Singapore belongs to both the new citizens and old citizens. Get used to that and make use of that. If not, 2016 will just be another non-event.

TSJ is the right person that can take on LHL AMK GRC, we put our netizen funds in him to get rid of useless LHL quickly. Get rid of LHL can get rid of his Temasick bedroom mate, and all their families linked toGLCs appointment title holders, BODs, and all PA linked contractors, and the list goes on.




We might have heard from the grapevine for some time, but here's the official news from Zaobao.

Mr Goh, to show that you are not funded by PAP, pick a one-to-one fight with a pap mp eg. Dr. 6 fingers.
