To be fair, the mrt incident, after reading the actual news article Tony was quoted out of context. Considering the economic conditions at that time, he was talking about priorities. He was still wrong to use the word "foolish". But you know, politics is always about power struggle.

Agree. But most voters will not do the research. It is up to candidates to convince the voters. it is like a job application, no matter how good you are if you flunk the interview (9 day campaign) you are out.

I think the Nicole effect is overated, her popularity is illusional. She shined inthe GE only because of TPL. TRE endorsement hurt rather than help, I would think. At the end of the day, TCB is too honest, cautious and principled. In the past he had relied on the PAP brand name and do-good...

Out of 2274773 eligible voters, 744397 turned up to cast their votes decisively in your favour. This shows that 32.7% of the nation wants you as President, decisively. Congratulations! The win is indeed decisive. P/S: Did Guiness World of Records just entered a new entry?

I pity this guy. He has gone mad spamming every post. He has become the monster he so hates.

That is as good as saying you want to buy the winning 4D numbers after the results are out.

In the absence of Tin Pei Ling, Nicole will be nothing.

This analysis is wrong. Hardcore opposition will not vote for TCB. Those who voted opposition in GE would unlikely vote for TT. So who voted for TT? the 60%. With TT getting only 35%, this means TCB got 25% of the proPAP votes. The other came from antiPAP. TCB took 10% from this camp. TJS...

This old man has been deadly silent. No single word from him, no news, no nothing throughout the campaign and polling day, and after results are out. Did he vote?

How serious were you about having spoken to Robert? Many are still puzzled by the turn of events. TCB was recalled to the elections department when he was in the stadium. The elections department did not reveal pre-recount numbers, or who initiated the recount. Looking at how May Tan, I mean...

TCB's supporters should also look at themselves and ask if they have done enough. It is silly that after the election results are out, TCB's facebook "likes" shot over 20k well over TJS' 13k, while for weeks before the election, even during the campaign week, TCB was consistently behind by the...

Damn, judging by your nick and grammar, quite obviously a foreign "talent". You deserve to be moderated forever.

There is no real opposition here. Not with 6/87 seats. The electorate rejects the idea.

Finance Minister Tharman. He must now handle a president who thinks he is better qualified to do his job (forgetting that he couldnt solve the 1985 recession).

The GE 2011 was a watershed one, shows the nation somewhat split 60/40 politically. The PE 2011 shows that the nation is on the path to unity. 65% of the nation does not want Tony Tan to be the president. Possibly more than 65%, if without "endorsements" by clans, federations, unions, RCs and...

Possible to remind us what accusations were thrown at TCB? I dont remember any dirt being thrown at TCB. I will say that it is overall his inability to convince voters with his overly principled style. His take on salary was somewhat under the belt when he said it is akin to vote buying. He...

Ask yourself who benefits in a boycott? MFA has employees all over the world. Who their votes go to will be no mystery. Boycotting will not work. As I said, the regime will never introduce tools that do not benefit itself first. It is up to WP, our so called only viable opposition, to...

It has been touted as being allowing overseas voters the chance to exercise their rights, but we know the regime will not implement this if it does not benefit them in one way or another (think GRC). So, if you ask what it is for, it is for delaying results in the event of a very close fight...

I love the bull that comes out of your mouth. Please let me know when aliens are visiting again. She not only advertised the rally speech, but walkabouts too.

That is somewhat wrong. There were definitely some voters who voted for PAP in GE who voted for TJS. I still agree that TKL withdrawal would not have helped TJS win, but we will never know how much of an impact TKL's sour surprise revelations about his relationship with TJS were on the...
