Well done, GMS's publicity rating has gone in one direction only, all the way north !

Keep cool & make this chap look stupid ...

This Alvin Yeo guy is some half-baked lawyer I think, if I am not mistaken, he was at an NUS dialogue with undergrads on a panel with Sylvia Lim. He was positively slaughtered for his evasiveness & SOP-regurgitation of party line doctrine ....

Oh no! Will it clash with the liverpool chelsea game?

Alvin is a nice guy but justifies PAP's decisions by looking at the positives. So he ends up evading the negatives.

Alvin was deliberately chosen because he projects a vulnerable nice guy image as opposed to Vivien who will put off a sloth in double quick time. Alvin like Hri Kumar is very sound on principles, logic and legality of things.

To handle Alvin, these are the tips.

1. Never approach any of the topics in terms of constitution, legal or if it is structured rightly. The constitution can say if legislative procedures are followed correctly that MPs can spit on peasants and its on sound footing. This has been Chee and SDP's problem, following the US liberals obsession with the constitution.

2. Talk about 2 party and plur al politics and not putting too many eggs in one basket with the PAP. The attempt to introduce NCMP and NMP is give cosmetic coat of better representation when they are powerless.

3. Talk only in Singaporean English and avoid legal terminology.

4. Ask answers for high barricades and hurdles to stand against the PAP.

5. Make sure that at the end of the session that you say that you are disappointed with the PAP (not alvin) as they have not answered any of the questions nor throw light on how these are going to affect singaporeans in a positive way.

The recording session has just ended. As expected, it was 3 versus 1 against Goh Meng Seng. Watch it on CNA Sunday 10:10PM to see his performance for yourselves.

3 cheers for GMS! NSP sure win!

 

[moolightaffairs]

i worry when GMS got too much limelight. always the case when a AP get too much limelight and the PAP starts to throw shit at them. our states times will start to have negative things against them or maybe GMS got steal things from NTUC and kena caught when he was very young, all will be dig out. maybe health centre record also kena dig out. this is how pap do it. but no matter what i will vote for GMS again if he come to east coast GRC.

How come you look like GMS twin brother now?

This Alvin Yeo guy is some half-baked lawyer I think,

He is a Senior Counsel with one of the biggest law corporations. I have been told that he has exceptional oratorical skills. But after listening to his speech in one of GE rallies, I'm not so sure.

wow, singapore's queen counsel equivalent !

anyway, my impression of him was tainted by his NUS performance....

you are right, many of them looks good on paper, look at Lim Swee Say, very impressive CV & qualifications, but accent aside, his weird utterqances & parables are most juvenile - I really question his sense of social propriety...

Maybe his legal assistants prepared his cases very well. He only had to read from the scripts.

3 against 1? Debra Soon, Gillian Koh and Alvin Yeo vs GMS?

What else to expect?

 

[Perspective]

What else to expect?

Alvin Yeo, expect. Gillian Koh of IPS, famous PAP carrierwoman. Debra Soon was rumoured to be PAP candidate in 2006, but turned out not. Other than that she appears to sound fairer views than the other 2.

Debra Soon has to sound more moderate even when leaning. She's the host.

He went into battle very heavily armed. Unfortunately, the tight timing and deft handling by Debra Soon did not allow deployment of most of the ammo. In fact it was Debra Soon rather than Alvin Yeo that asked the killer question. Goh Meng Seng did manage to get off 1 very nice qn to Alvin Yeo that put him in a tight spot. Unless they shamelessly edit it out, you can watch it this Sunday and see how Alvin Yeo wriggle.

It's OK. Captain will store the ammo in ammo dump for future use. Now they'd be scared. They'd better be really really scared.

They should have invited my idol Mr Chee Soon Juan too.
