No, all RP members should just join the SDP, and all NSP members should just join the WP As for SPP and SDA, they should just disband SPP could rename itself "Solely Potong Pasir" and it would not even have to change its acronym.

Apart from LKY, Goh Chok Tong is also a "permanent absentee" MP who is hardly around. I do not know when either of these two gentleman last conducted an MPS. As for by-elections, it wasn't only Dr Ong Chit Chung. There was another MP (Dr Balaji Sadasivan) who died, and no by-election was called.

Apart from Kenneth himself, the other members are total lightweights. Andy Zhu is a freelance real estate agent, aged 29, and some say he used to be involved in MLM. And he is qualified to be a party chairman? As for Kenneth, he may have really impressive qualifications and so on, but he...

All the other opposition parties are just a waste of time. There is no need for WP or Low to 'give face' to them. They are not credible, poorly organised and poorly marketed, and therefore have no chance of winning. Why should you give way to someone who has zero chance of winning? At the end...

Interesting.. I noticed that in terms of votes, Desmond Choo only managed to get 145 votes more than he did in the last election. However, how come his vote share increased by 3 per cent? 3 per cent of 23,000 votes should be at least 690 votes. More gerrymandering going on? How can...

LOL I'm a bit confused though.. if his vote increase is a mere 145 votes, how come his overall vote share went up by 3 per cent? 3 percent of 23,000 should be at least 690 votes??

NSP is finished as a political force. They have no coherent political stand. If people accuse WP of being too "mild" and too "agreeable" to the extent that there are little differences between them and the PAP, them NSP is even worse - they are too similar to WP. SDP is the only party that has...

It would be a poor move for Low to leave Aljunied GRC to contest in Pasir-Ris Punggol GRC. It is unlikely that any of the Aljunied MPs will leave. With the next best slate of candidates in East Coast GRC, it is unlikely that WP will be able to mount a credible challenge in Pasir-Ris Punggol.

I think that if he had been a bit more aggressive, he would not just be stuck with 8 MPs. With the PAP underperforming for the last 5-6 years, he should really have acquired more than 12 seats in Parliament by now.

Desmond Choo is a credit to the PAP. And people like Desmond Choo actually serve to convince voters that PAP is indeed trying to change. It's a shame that PAP candidates can only be humble when they are the 'underdog', coming up against a 20-year incumbent. If they were to approach every...

What about Ong Ye Kung? Isn't he supposed to be minister material? Is he still in Aljunied grassroots?

The WP should up the ante and call for their supporters around the country to BOYCOTT the mainstream media. And the supporters of other opposition parties, especially the SDP, should follow suit. If even 50% of the opposition supporters boycott the mainstream media, for instance by cancelling...

Obviously, Teo knows that if Low were really to take up his challenge and sue him, the courts will adjudicate in the PAP's favour every time. It was Teo who decided to call Png's integrity into question, that was the only low point of an otherwise cleanly fought campaign. Teo should learn from...

WP chief Low Thia Khiang at the post-results press conference: "Look at newspaper reports, the headlines in mainstream media - all hint at character assassination. There have been many instances of unfair coverage in the mainstream media. Some headlines and photos chosen were very misleading...

The best website to learn Chinese www.sexymandarin.com I suggest that Png (and others, including Tony Tan) starts visiting this site regularly from now on to improve his Chinese

This is why it is unjust and unethical to maintain the current state of affairs. Singapore needs at least a few more neutral/objective media outlets. The PAP needs to relinquish control over the media, and if it refuses to do so, it should be made to do so. The WP needs to make a bigger issue...

I do not hope to see Low or the WP suing Teo, but I certainly hope to see Low address this issue further. Teo cannot simply going around questioning people's integrity when the issue is not one that concerns integrity. Low accused Teo of 'personal attacks'. Is that statement not factual? I also...

Spoken at their respective press conferences: Low TK: I was disappointed with how the PAP used the media to discredit and distract WP's campaign. I was disappointed with Teo CH's character assassination attempts and personal attacks, trying to call Png Eng Huat's integrity into question. At...

I thought that the media would sway the results. I noticed that the media has taken a retrograde step since GE2011, it is now more than ever a PAP mouthpiece and I felt disgusted by it. However, the analyst Gillian Koh probably was right when she said that "Hougang residents probably switch...

I am a 100% born and bred Singaporean who served NS and holds a pink IC. The reason why I am bringing this up is because it needs to be called into question more. We cannot simply resign ourselves and accept that "this is just the way it is". The media conducts itself in a disgusting manner...
