Further evidence that there are quite a few people who have been disqualified from driving/riding flouting their disqualification. Only well-publicized stints in prison will change their behavior.

What makes you think that these people will not occasionally be stopped and asked to show whether they have authorization to sell stuff? It is similar to the situation in many countries.

Read the media just before GE2011. Chen Show Mao got an entire full page coverage in both the Zaobao and ST. I am sure new WP CEC member, sociologist Dr Daniel Goh, will eventually get such coverage. You heard it here first! However, those who are boastful, abusive and feel that they are...

Yup, the SDP had plenty of media coverage when it had MPs and when CSJ was leading the party, between 1993 and 1996.

Ask the folks living in Aljunied, Hougang and Punggol East. Most seem very satisfied. WP's immediate vision is to get more MPs so as to help more folks in other constituencies. WP understands the concept that a week in politics is a long time. A journey of a thousands miles begins with a...

The question does not arise as it is too premature. As LTK said of WP's win in Punggol East, it was a by-election and not to read too much into it. The party that has MPs is not delusional. What's so difficult to understand about that? Only the party that has ZERO MPs would talk about...

All this is politics. The party that is relatively resource-poor has to keep up the pretense that it is resource-rich. The party that is relatively resource-rich knows that in an Asian society it is wise not to flaunt it. But the illusion rapidly evaporates when it comes closer to...

She would be a good and credible choice. Hope nothing too serious with Hazel Poa.

A similar explanation was given for the AIM saga, where Khaw argued that the software is nothing fantastic, and can be bought off the shelf anywhere. :o

Better inform CPF that you are changing your nomination. Tell them that you are leaving everything to your estate. Then draw up a Will stipulating whom you wish to leave your assets to, thus cutting out your family.

Excellent analysis!!! Difficult to disagree with any of the above.

TJS has tried many gimmicks without success. He grandly called for an anti-PAP coalition and yet no-one showed any interest. He then had his research/study group near Dhoby Ghaut being a short-lived phenomenon. Something to do with rental issues. Now his latest 2 gimmicks are to speak...

Does the high unemployment of PMETs correlate to the recent shooting up of the number of suicides?

Indeed! After SPP left SDA , the SDA's appeal plummeted. It was right at the bottom in terms of the popular vote out of the 6 oppo parties that contested in 2011. (Even coming below RP!) The SDP was 4th in 2011 in terms of popular vote, and, to that extent, it is was not coincidental that the...

There is no such thing as opposition unity. When WP won 6 seats in GE2011 it received congratulatory messages from all other opposition parties (even from RP) except SDP. When CSJ wrote a piece in the Guardian newspaper on GE2011 a day after the event, he tended to portray himself as a major...

I don't think you understood the thrust of my remarks. Let me try again: by virtue of being the scion of a Singapore legend and political icon he should have started with 10% of the vote. But that was a non-starter because he had already systematically destroyed a political legacy when many...

He can write all he likes. Other than yourself and a few diehards, who else listens to him? The Establishment (which includes the media) are approaching him exactly the way anyone approaches a non-entity, and that is simply to ignore him. He is being denied the oxygen of offline publicity...

What caused his depression?

Your reason -- of prior information -- is not very sound. Kindly note that many people left RP at various points in time. First it lost 2 chairmen in succession, then it lost a large group of viable candidates that ultimately joined NSP weeks before GE2011, then it lost Gilbert Goh, and then...

Voters get the MPs they elect. That we can agree. It is as simple as that. I have no problem with that concept. But why are you so irked by that simple concept? Surely, if you believe in democracy then you should respect the wishes of the voters. Punggol East gave ample choice -- 4...
