would you vote for George Yeo, if he run for President?
- Thread starter sengkang
- Start date
That's very clever, to have endorsement from celebs...
don't you think so?
For me, its GY for President
Yeah, he only lost a GRC. So what?
yeah so what. I vote for sumiko tan and hurricane. aft
Georgie Boy's plot is concluding fast with such a conundrum being played out ...
i would vote for tcb
It sound dangerous based on what you said. He has many friends in PAP and if he stand for election, he will stand by PAP if based on your findings. Thus I will vote for Tan Cheng Bock because he is consistent in telling PAP in the face what he felt is not right.

SINGAPORE: Representatives of former foreign affairs minister George Yeo collected forms on Monday for a certificate of eligibility for him to contest the Presidential Election.
Fifteen volunteers aged between 16 and 41 arrived at the Elections Department at about 1 pm.
Thirty-six-year-old Lien We King said he received a phone call from Mr Yeo Sunday evening asking him to help collect the forms on his behalf.
Mr Yeo left for Taiwan Monday morning.
He is expected to return to Singapore in 10 days and the forms will be passed on to Mr Yeo then.
The supporters said they are hopeful Mr Yeo will run for the Presidential Election.
They believe Mr Yeo is the type of leader the younger generation will rally around.
They said the youths are very comfortable with Mr Yeo's brand of leadership, and that the promise that Mr Yeo made to engage the younger generation more appealed to them.
They said they wish Mr Yeo to be a free-spirited President who communicates openly and is close to the people on the ground.
Mr Yeo's supporter, Mr Lien We King, said he feels Mr Yeo is very open to new ideas and to meet new people.
"I think that's very refreshing for my generation, (and) even for my parents' generation. Someone who's able to have a sense of the people - that's really important for us," Mr Lien said.
If Mr Yeo does enter the fray to contest in the Presidential Election, he would be the second candidate from the PAP to do so.
The first being the former MP Tan Cheng Bock. Dr Tan has already resigned from the PAP whereas Mr Yeo is still a member of the ruling party's central executive committee."

If George run, I will vote for anyone running against him. He can go down in history as the biggest loser ever. What an idiot!
Political double speak. Say you quit politics and not suitable for presidency, now you go back against your words. All your years in parliament, you supported PAP regime and was a real bastard. Only when your son got leukemia and your wife ask you to do some good deeds, you decided to tone down. Now he is recovered, you go back to your old ways. Don't forget there is something called relapse. Karma, always keep it in mind.
I feel sad for him. I'll feel sorry too. Why cannot he read the tea leaves? Is he a masochist or what? Please, somebody tell him not to stand. He'll go down in history as the Minister who lost his seat and also lost his final faith with the people. It's the Party, stupid. It has destroyed him.
