The following didn't resign when the same happened: 2011 - Charles Chong. Despite being an old bird who have won 6 elections he won by a hairline to newcomer Yee JJ. 2011 - former PM Goh Chok Tong won by a narrow hairline to a lousy NSP team including a former rejected SDP MP simply because...

So what is the point? LTK ultimately won. Like some PAP minister or MP said before, what is important is winning. I agree because it means the person can stay to serve.

For this case, I think citizen balls make very little difference. North Koreans also small balls. Myanmar medium balls. Malaysians big balls. All cry to international community at some point of time. All end up same.

What has the international community done to Myanmar, North Korea and Anwar in Malaysia? That's the question we have to ask ourselves. If our answer is negative, then they would probably be laughing at Gilbert.

His reason for leaving WP is always different and changing. My internet postings caused damage to WP's reputation, so to be accountable I resigned. I disagreed with the direction WP was going and knew they would sink, so I resigned. I felt I had helped WP build up and resigned to build...

I have learned from GE2015 that winning or losing an election will come down to a few major factors and the minor factors we (forumers, bloggers) think are important are often not. For example, all 3 NCMPs were soundly defeated (Yee, Gerald, Lina). Does NCMP help? Not necessarily. LSS, Sim...

Wonder if George wants to kick himself for not seizing the moment to come back, for he might have won in Aljunied again. Bitter Lie did a good job? I think PAP didn't get back Aljunied because of him. If he was not in the team, PAP may have gotten 50.1% in Aljunied. The whole Aljunied knows he...

My guess is as an insurance trainer the pay should be around $4K to $5K. Of course it's less than MP allowance of $16K but WP MPs have to donate money to constituency or party. She choose to do full time which means she can take $4K and donate away $12K. NCMP is about $1.5K. She can't do full...

It's just a hypothesis. SDP won't be able to get NCMP even if WP gives up. For Chee to be given NCMP, it means the others in East Coast, followed by Koh Choong Yong, Marine Parade and Bernard Chen, have to give way. I think by the time East Coast gives way, parliament will not offer any more...

Totally turning down NCMP is a boycott. You will be questioned why you didn't boycott GRCs also, and then you might as well boycott the whole election. In a way, NCMP is the closest we have to proportional representation, where the minority 30% have more representation than the 6 out of 89 they...

Makes no difference with the people given the mandate they gave to the opposition.

Ironically, Chiam's only legacy left is found in a party that he is no longer part of, which is the SDP. SDP now houses talents like Tambyah but only because Chiam had founded the party in 1980. As for his SPP, it will be obliterated soon and Potong Pasir will become like another PAP ward or...

Anyway Goh Meng Seng should not be upset about anything. He has always prided himself on being different from the rest of Singaporeans. Of course the votes you get will be different from how most Singaporeans vote. If he wins, then it is contrasting.

Hope this is one lesson that the opposition learned. They have promoted themselves as democratic-minded by existing as 7 or 8 parties. Avoiding 3-corner fights mean that each can only field a handful and even if there is a change of government, it will be a coalition - something they want but...

The one thing he and his sympathizers learned was that his over 40% in his first 2 elections was not his sole credit or hardly his credit.

Thought he was supposed to run under SDP. Anyway he's the same guy whom MINDEF filed harassment protection against. That's why he have to stop talking about his patents.

Better Dr Cheebye than Perm Cheebye who really showed a cheebye sign on nomination day.

I hope so. What's the use of keeping uncontributing people like VB anyway.

You can feel happy or sad about such results. Happy because opposition win double more seats. Sad because those who didn't win kena trounce by PAP badly, which means hard for opposition to break past 14 seats in 2020.

This is called Hop and Hop till he Drop. Nevertheless who cares if he break rules, these are PAP rules anyway.
