TCH was one of the fellas whom I felt was really in politics for the calling. His personal wealth (OCBC family) does not require him to take all this shit. And that is why his behaviour in Hougang is quite intriquing - he was talking like HE was the candidate and that Desmond was his runner. But the damage he has done to Singapore is worse:
1) His yapping like a crazy dog/bitch who does not want to let go showed him to be immature, lack political suaveness and worse, demonstrate that MONEY does NOT buy class. He was born into money but obviously did not do well in grooming class. How does a PAP tea-party invitee respond to someone like that during the "interview" knowing that this fella could be a future PM? No wonder then, that we can trade unionists and military officers, who can ask only one question when ordered to jump: "How high, sir?"
2) He should just have let his prostitutes in Braddel Road push the shit (shareholders don't care; think SMRT) and he should have taken the high ground with comments like "Well, I don't want to comment too much on other political parties (he can afford to be dismissive) but from what I read in the papers, it is not very positive for the candidate but I will let the people of Hougang to make the judgement on the impact of this matter." Instead, he goes on and on ad nauseum on the same theme for three successive days. It makes one wonder what he would have talked about if the leaked minutes had not surfaced. But this confirms that they are absolutely bankrupt of ideas.
3) He was unable to realise that in the hustings, we are all Singaporeans first, and party members second. But no, he has taken the route of the "I stand corrected" One and short of saying 'repent' you fools, his demeanour and combativeness behaviour during the campaign actually sabotages the 'inclusive' theme which has been sprouted with regular vulgarity regardless of the scheme being promoted.
My sad conclusion is that he was so inspired by Sir Fcuk in the 2011 rally that he decided to imitate him.
