While I do like that the two-thirds majority of the PAP be broken down, I feel we should not let our pessimism go overboard. Young couples: a), b), e) As WP's LTK said, some things take time to be put right. c) Most of this is CPF money which cannot be withdrawn. d) Hawker stall owners...

It's probably to stem such ridiculous expectations that LTK attempted to moderate the euphoria.

I'm glad that you find this ridiculous.

and then ... what? it's not as though SDP has the solution. In fact, it is far from having a solution. From exploiting the immigrant labour and indirectly our own poor, they now have to be buttered. Let's face it, middle ground far outnumber the 'poor'. I'm not really sure those who voted...

He might be sick.

Agreed. It will be like PE in reverse.

Sorry, I don't research. Shoot from the hips only. I have nothing for or against the oppo, ditto the PAP. I approve or criticise as I see it, true to my nick. For the Town Council accounts saga, I fault both parties. After the GE, they did not close ranks for the sake of the people.

Nothing criminal, but it is not sweet. Since when are town councils into selling things? Even when they invest, some got badly burned. Next, will they be designing games and sell them or maybe buy a few properties to profit form capital gains? Are such things within their scope? Who determines...

LLL is the "incumbent" oppo. She is the best bet. With the sex scandal of MPalmer to pull down the PAP, a few more percent to her is more than possible. Any oppo will be regarded as spoiler and work against them in 2016. CSJ's announcement might be a tactic to cajole a BE because SDP must know...

Give them a break. They are just ordinary joes. Of course they won't mind, they would love to have their kids in Govt. in fact they love to have their kids rub shoulders or play golf with the powers that be. From the time scholars were parachuted into the political arena, things changed. It has...

After Aljunied, it's too soon to battle again. The electorate can see that concessions were made because of Aljunied. Balancing the Yin and Yang makes sense, but the result will take time to cook. Nothing bad happened to Aljunied, so the general mindset might be tempted to put more pressure for...

Keep calling them daft, and you will start to believe it. But if you want to strategize, it will be disingenuous to formulate plans with the assumption that the 60% is daft.

Ditto. Same thing I worry about. In fact, in some other post, I mentioned worrying about whether they 'love' the ISA.

Yes. It showed them where the pain threshold is. It certainly is not where Mah BT told them.

The voters don't??? When did they said so. My take is they don't see any others able to provide a solution. They stick to PAP which at least has some sort of solution. They stomached the medicine despite the pain.

There is too much to lose for the middle ground. They will not be convinced without a plan B. So without a plan B, nothing will change. LKY might not have worked a single day in the British Admin, but at that time, what he has done and intended to do was for all to see and hear.

Nobody is asking for in depth policies right now. Just give us some ideas of their prowess. What makes it so certain. Why only after the PAP's 2/3 majority is stripped? My take is so long as they keep mum about how they intend to govern, to solve problems, they will not convince the middle ground.

For those who can afford, buying OM HDB is already a somewhat successful enterprise... only in Singapore. Furthermore, it's CPF money which cannot be touched.

I like this plan for one reason. It offers another avenue for citizens to own property. However, the caveat is that only those who cannot afford otherwise should take this up. In insurance policies, there are those which have participating profits. Right now, buying an HDB flat is akin to...

Re: Fascism Rising Out Of The Stormy Sea This is all talk. Of very little significance. It's action that counts. Already, there are policy changes galore, eg the building frenzy. So 2016 might not be so cozy for oppo. I would love to see what the oppo will do to ameliorate the...
