The social media, especially TOC, did PAP a huge favour. The social media alienated a large segment of opposition supporters.

Wah lao. The writer did not take into consideration competency. For example, Keynesian economics is used to smooth income (GDP) cycle. But some people used it wrongly and exacerbated the cycle. Also, money must be well spent, not just on anything. Building stairs to heaven or white elephants...

Some people are trying to sell the idea that it was the large crowds and the possibility of the Opposition forming the government that turned voters off. Come on! Right from the start, the contest was nailed as one between PAP and WP only. Moreover, only East Coast and Fengshan were named as...

Hahaha. Don't fall off your chair. No, it is not another CSJ bashing piece. The clarity of the mind is very important. A responsible man should protect his immediate family first - mother, wife, and children. The media have been fixing you. Do not hope that they will stop and you could win*...

For voters, they are choosing between bearing the burden of an opposition ward and having a voice in parliament. The burden has changed from not getting estate upgrading to how well the town council is being run. In 2015, the voters found the prospect of the burden too heavy.

SL is so lame. She herself lost in her own ward of Serangoon. In 2011, the entire Singapore except Tanjong Pagar was contested and the Opposition was able to make huge gains. Why would the contest of Tanjong Pagar in 2015 caused a national pushback of 10%? Does it make sense? It was the WP...

I am not sure if my feeling was representative of the voters. My biggest concern was the AHPETC case. I think the antics of WP killed the Opposition. It may even lose Aljunied. The biggest irony is WP would probably end up with all the NCMP seats. I am going to sleep liao.

You guys are too chiam. I simply reposted Dr TCB's post to pwn the shit-stirring of the PAP. https://scontent-sin1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t31.0-8/s720x720/11893839_893529854036357_7658757979550170292_o.jpg

LET'S HAVE A CLEAN AND FAIR GE2015 (DR TAN CHENG BOCK) We are now in Election Season. This will be a watershed election in every sense. It will also be the first GE without the influential presence of Lee Kuan Yew. Plenty is at stake, not only for the candidates and political parties, but...

The PAP prefers to bankrupt the people!!!! It is a lesson on bad spin-doctoring. The PAP and its proxies insinuated that if the government bears a heavier burden on healthcare, it will be bankrupted. Using reverse logic, they are implying it is preferable for the people to be bankrupted...

I never intended to share my ideas with the Opposition parties for fear of abuses of them. I did it because I didn't like the gutter politics of PAP. Some of the ideas that can be used. Minimum Wage: The PAP says if we picked a level too low, it won't be effective. If we picked a level too...

An educated guess on the train breakdowns. Power failure due to a pletora of excuses (salt water, rain water, dislodged claws, cracked cable) are not systemic. Excuses are just excuses. The root problem is due to increased train frequencies and over-usage as a result of an enlarged...

There is something worse than GST hike. The PAP is so clever in keeping our tax regime low - on paper. They are now using community funding instead of tax funding. CPF Life and Universal Healthcare are nothing but community funding - with a huge twist. The poor may end up subsidising the rich...

What is productivity? It is about how a country organises itself. It has everything to do with the government. The proper way to achieve productivity growth is to produce higher value-added goods and services whilst holding the total no. of workers constant. We hold technology constant...

For the first time, I agree that this is a watershed election. It is either WP win 20 seats or just one. The East side residents will decide the fate of the PAP and the WP. Ng Eng Hen said there will be no personal attacks. But in a televised debate on policies, Lawrence Wong tried to slip in...
