Hear, hear! At a press conference full of CNA and ST reporters, Low slammed the mainstream media and said that we have regressed since the GE 2011, because the media has once again gone back to being a PAP mouthpiece. He also slammed the PAP for making empty promises of being more...

I would like to think that the results were not so much a rejection of Choo, but more a rejection of the PAP's high-handed politics, characterised by the arrogance and the double standards of Teo Chee Hean. His conduct during the election campaign was disappointing and even embarrassing. Choo...

His Chinese is really atrocious. Not as bad as Tony Tan though. It was funny to see how Low Thia Khiang had to step in to rescue him. He didn't know what to say and maybe he was a bit too excited/nervous. Similarly, Teo Chee Hean had to step in to rescue Desmond Choo at the latter's...

If the PAP puts forward more candidates like Desmond Choo, they have a strong chance of revamping themselves. The question is whether the PAP leadership will be willing to change and bring forward more people like him. I would not begrudge Desmond Choo a seat in Parliament even if he were to...

Desmond Choo came out of the election with more credit than before. He has won alot of respect, even from non-PAP supporters, because he is a gentleman. The biggest losers are Teo Chee Hean and Khaw Boon Wan. Especially Teo Chee Hean. He was disgraceful and ungentlemanly.

I hope Png Eng Huat proves to be a good MP. I didn't think he was the best choice, but his vote share indicates that he has the firm confidence of the electorate. I was surprised (pleasantly) that he won this many votes. Hope he goes on to do a good job.

CNA (and the entire Singapore media) is absurd.. the angle from which the news is presented is completely skewed. It's clear that they are rooting for their "home team", similar to how MUTV or Chelsea TV are always biased towards their teams! Might as well rename it to PAP TV! The entire...

If you are watching the live coverage on CNA, you can't help but notice that they are placing the focus almost completely on Desmond Choo even though he lost! They keep harping on how the result doesn't matter, Desmond Choo's performance improved, focusing on his campaign, his life story etc...

PAP sources say that they have between 42 to 44 per cent of the votes. By the sound of it, WP has won.

I feel that Png is too uninteresting, he is very 'normal' and lacks charisma or X-factor. I would vote for him to run my Town Council but I would not vote for him to represent my views in Parliament, not sure if that makes sense but it is meant to. It's just that in Singapore, the two roles are...

Actually, you have made a very valid point there. Teo Chee Hean might have scored an own goal by getting so involved. He somehow ended up hijacking Desmond's campaign.

Before he entered politics, JBJ was a very wealthy man. He could afford to send both his sons to Cambridge, that was a big deal in those days. He was also a respected Judge and a very celebrated lawyer. But he gave it all away to oppose Harry Lee and he spent his latter years hawking his...

From 1981 to 1984, he was a lone voice against a whole house of PAP MPs. Anything he said would be jeered. Whenever he stood up he would be heckled. They gave him no respect whatsoever. To a large extent they did the same to Chiam, but JBJ was treated worse because he was more vocal and also...

Why should the voters of Hougang have to bear the responsibility of 'sending a message to the Government'? Why do they have to do it all the time? Many voters from other constituencies would like to 'send a message to the Government' and desire non-PAP voices in Parliament, yet they vote for...

Oh and by the way, on the pay issue: The pay of NCMPs used to be exactly the same as MPs until J B Jeyaretnam became NCMP in 1997. Then, the PAP reduced the pay to $1,800, claiming that NCMPs need not represent any constituency and hence deserves to get paid much less. It was a tactic to make...

The pay of the NCMP is also damn bloody low considering the work they have to do to prepare their Parliamentary speeches. The only difference is that they do not have a constituency to run and hence no Town Council duties, no need to conduct MPS. But to prepare a Parliamentary speeches...

Re: Khaw admitted PAP didn't do a good job & claims Desmond can move Heaven & Earth W This is clearly not Desmond Choo's campaign. This is Teo Chee Hean's and Khaw Boon Wan's campaign. The mad cow still needs to explain how he has failed to prevent HDB prices from escalating since he took...

I do not think Teo's (and PAP's) antics have backfired at all. On the contrary, I think that the PAP has definitely won the by-election. The smear campaign has really picked up and every single mainstream media outlet is helping to destroy Png's image. There was a report in My Paper about how...

Before the election hustings began, Desmond Choo claimed that he was "independent", and that he was "his own man" and further made the claim that "party bigwigs" would not be involved in his campaign. However, over the past week or so, it has been Teo Chee Hean making headlines almost every...

Or it might just be that Teo Chee Hean is a moron who is trying to stir sh1t.
