Among opposition candidates, NSP ones are most involved in the Presidential campaign in their personal capacity. However, they are involved only in the 3 "non-PAP" camps. Even GRC team members are not in the same camp. Of course the claim of as long as not supporting Tony Tan, but still interesting. Some brought "enemy" parties like SDA and SPP on the same page. Conspicious is also the absence of any WP candidates.

In short:

Rooting for TCB
NSP - Abdul Salim, Christopher Neo, Syfarin Sarif
SPP - Benjamin Pwee, Jimmy Lee

Rooting for TKL
NSP - GMS, Reno Fong, Abdul Rasheed
(Ex)RP/SPP - Alex Tan

Rooting for TJS
NSP - Steve Chia, Nicole Seah, Jeannette Aruldoss
RP - Mansor Rahman, Osman Sulaiman
SDP - Vincent W, Ang Yong Guan, Michelle Lee, Jarrod Luo
SDA - Desmond Lim
(Ex)SDA - Tony Tan
SPP - Wilfred Leung

You forgot to add Benjamin Pwee and Jimmy Lee of SPP rooting for TCB.
 
I find it interesting the 3 NSP guys backing TCB.
Read about Chris supporting TCB in his personal capacity in a previous news report.
The others are not interesting........................
 
NSP already split. Old slow taking lady as GS are gone case.

As usual, you got it wrong. Syafarin, so is Raymond Lim are supporting TKL.

Goh Meng Seng
 
The WP and its Parliamentarians appear to have got it right by being above the fray.
Hope that they retain that disciplined approach in the days ahead.

The other opposition parties seem to reinforce the impression of the opposition -- of
being completely splintered.
 
Don't think so. But it's better to be wrong than to be blind like someone here.

Sure... Blind to the fact that Png took the form for TKL. :)

Well, you will be blinded in the days to come, I guess. ;)

Goh Meng Seng
 
Blind to the fact that rooting is not collecting form. Rooting is not denying support when asked. Resident clown again... sheesh.

LOL! Talking about resident clown! LOL! Who are you trying to bluff? Only entertain. ;)

Why is who in PAP is supporting which candidate not even important as who in oppo is supporting which candidate? I believe each othe candidate also have current or ex-PAP supporters.
 
I think PAP is in big wayang to stage a contest between TT and TCB, using TCB wayang to split TKL and TJS votes. I'll spoil vote. Pui! More spoil votes may help force PAP to abolish this wayang PE system.
 
You've forgotten about that WP candidate who collected forms for TKL; can't remember his name.

Ex WP member, Eric Tan i think

WP is and will not help nor endorse any presidential election, surely someone as close to the WP as u are would have heard that ;)

Before TJS came into the picture, I would have done the same. But I'm voting for him because the best way to say bye to the PAP's schemes is to let them blow up right into the face of the PAP themselves, shards, shrapnels and all. As for TKL, without TJS he is too idiotic for me to regard the PE important enough to vote for him, then I would cast a spoil. The post isn't even an independent one - what does he want to be an independent Prez for? But if it was a GE with TKL as opposition candidate, then I would vote for TKL.
 
U r referring to Mr Png Eng Huat!:D

I think Png Eng Huat was the one who collected forms for TKL, not Eric Tan. It was reported all over media when he collected the forms. I just couldn't remember the name. I'm just an amateur political watcher, not a member not even an associate of any party. I support WP, that's all, and haven't even got a chance to vote for WP yet.

You have a great imagination. Using TCB to split TKL and TJS votes? The govt got crystal ball, knows from day 1 that TKL and TJS will come in to fight the EP? If they know, maybe the entire EP contest is scripted by the powers to be?

TJS was let loose to split the votes from TCB. TKL alone will not take enough votes to confirm a win to TT. Only by using TJS, the govt is more confident that the NOT endorsed candidate can win the election. Only the daft Singaporeans and daft Singaporean candidate would take in the govt's plan hook, line and sinker....
