Can Lim Boon Heng win back Aljunied GRC back for PAP?

[Force 136]

The People's Action Party's (PAP) slate of potential candidates for opposition-held Aljunied GRC is "getting into place" former PAP chairman, Lim Boon Heng said last night.

He spoke to reporters during a community event attended by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, in the PM's first public appearance in Aljunied GRC since his party lost the constituency to the Workers' Party in the May 2011 General Election.

Will you vote for him?

Sending him is a sign that PAP has conceded Aljunied and Hougang at the next GE.

 

[Force 136]

Surely PAP has stronger candidates to fight in Aljunied GRC?

What about :

Chan kee-chew?

Dr Anus Koh?

Zorro Lim?

Ms Tin Tin?

Surely they are better candidates ?

 

[Agoraphobic]

As an observer, the ruling PAP is losing popularity (same old same old) whilst the WP is gaining (despite not having offered anything new). Regional and global dynamics have more or less stabilized and the masses are showing confidence in "untested" parties. My take is that PAP is likely to lose more seats in the next general election. But I doubt if people's lives will change much because of this. Things will flow in the direction it is going now.

Cheers!

A Weak PAP In A Sorry State

Sending in Lim Boon Heng, a crying baby, an ex Minister, to spear head PAP's battle in Aljunied and Hougang is a sure sign that PAP is weak and in a sorry state.

Can any Singaporean truly look up at LBH and consider him to be a heavyweight worthy of a fierce battle?

Sending LBH to champion Aljunied's battle shows that PAP has conceded Aljunied and Hougang and do not see them as the fiercest it expects at the next GE. PAP cant even send in a heavyweight like its Chairman, or a DPM to attack WP's stronghold.

PAP is showing the following:

1. PAP is weak and in a sorry state never experienced since 1965
2. PAP has problem retaining and recruiting real talents
3. PAP has few candidates and these are weak candidates
4. PAP has limited resources and cant afford to risk the precious little it has fighting in WP strongholds.
5. PAP realises that it is better to concede Aljunied and Hougang by sending in lioghtweights rather than lose the few strong candidates it has eg GY during GE 2011.
6. PAP expects fierce battles at some GRCs and are reserving the Chairman, Sec Gen, DPMs to defend these GRCs.
7. PAP expects to lose some Ministers

It comes as a surprise that PAP's decline is so fast and furious. The demise of PAP govt is imminent, faster than most experts have predicted

LBH will unlikely be standing as a candidate but merely acting as a strategic adviser for the team. I would say it a dirty job cause if the team loses, he gets the bad mark but if the team wins, credit goes to LHL.

PAP chances in Aljunied is slim unless there is a internal split in WP like what happen to SDP in the 90s. The way WP works is to quickly strengthened their grassroots foundation in their area so that PAP will find it difficult to dislodge however hard they attack WP. So once WP captured some areas, it will become very difficult to win back as PAP's experience in HG had proven.

Thus the more urgent task for PAP is not to win back Aljunied but to stop WP from winning more seats. And this is done by keeping WP team in Aljunied busy fighting their own battle instead of lending fire support to other WP teams.

On Mr. Lim Boon Heng s'forehead is the word chopped...EXPIRED

Trust me , he is on the way out...

 

[laksaboy]

Why don't he just stay in his cushy Temasek job, only emerging out of his rat hole once in a while to take potshots at the opposition?

Well paid and minimal responsibility at Temasek. Don't be a useful idiot for the Lees. If Lee Hsien Loong wants to assemble a suicide squad, he should lead one himself.

Hey Pinky, for once in your life be a real man and 御驾亲征 at Aljunied GRC lah. :kma:

Welcome to Aljunied

Oh god no, seeing his fuckface on the walls of govt buildings everywhere.

 

[tanwahp]

It is ridiculous to get someone not even standing for election to lead the team.

There is a son of a former minister Chua Sian Chin in the team, Chua Eng Loong. Not only is he not made leader of the campaign, he is buried behind a verbal diahorrea team leader Victor Lye. I don't know who made Lye a team leader. Expect a lot of laughs as he will be the next Koh Poh Koon.

PAP Aljunied campaign chances is weakened before the battle starts.

Re: A Weak PAP In A Sorry State

Never mind LBH will cry in front of Aljunied and ppl will give him half vote but PAPAYA will still Lose!!

 

[Agoraphobic]

I don't know if the increased cost of living can be attributed to PAP or not, but they will take the blame, being in charge of affairs in Singapore. I have not noticed any of the oppos proposing ways/methods of arresting the increased costs as they would play it safe by not saying anything that cannot be fulfilled, so better remain quiet. Singapore is limited by the small land space, and nobody can do anything about that, despite being paid huge sums of money. So while collecting their huge salaries, just don't rock the boat, and make hay while the sun shines, or rather, just collect the money and hope it lasts. That's the way politicians are.

Cheers!

Clearly PAP doesn't think they stand a chance. If they really want Aljunied back, they should send one A* team to fight the WP's A team.
