There is no way WP can afford to alienate the 'new citizens'. They now form an important block vote, whether people like it or not. Whichever party alienates them is going to lose their votes. They are now a 'minority race' in their own right.

To be honest, both PAP and WP have failed to impress. The voters should vote for WP purely to ensure greater diversity, but at the end of the day, the two are not so different. I am not sure what Png Eng Huat has to offer, even though I am pretty sure it would be slightly more than Desmond Choo...

How many of the heartland voters even know that the two are connected?

Re: Chan Chun Sing talks cock again, links babies out of wedlock to increase fertilit Chan Chun Sing is seriously a moron. He is a pai kia peng trying to masquerade as a politician. He lacks the stature, gravitas and demeanour that is expected of a politician, especially when compared...

It's not as though Desmond Choo himself was sacked as an MP, nor was he charged, nor was he fined, nor was he jailed He is as clean as a whistle He should not be linked with his uncle, as we don't even know if they are close. That said, the same applies to WP. No WP candidate should be...

Teo Chee Hean is not a politician. He lacks politican acumen. He is a technocrat. That is the problem when you get ex-military officers to become politicians. They often say the wrong things. The only true blue politicians in the PAP are Lee Kuan Yew, K Shanmugam, Vivian Balakrishnan, Ng Eng...

It is not likely that he voted for himself. However, he does look very foolish now given his claims that he 'took his name off the ballot' for NCMP

That is a fair point. No arguments there. However, if the entire opposition were united, that might not hold true. The Top 50 PAP candidates will invariably include people like Dr Janil Puthucheary, Foo Mee Har, Tin Pei Ling, Mah Bow Tan and Wong Kan Seng. Put those 5 in a GRC team and put...

GMS, If you think that WP and NSP are on the same level, you are dead wrong. 1) WP has been around for decades. It has a legacy, starting with David Marshall, followed by JBJ, and then Low Thia Khiang. 2) WP has seven MPs and possibly one more if it retains Hougang. 3) NSP is a party...

Given the resources and money that Singapore (PAP) has, surely something can be done about the weather? Beijing has its own Weather Manipulation Bureau or 北京市人工影响天气办公室. Why can't we follow suit? It would make this place more liveable...

Confirmed that the WP rallies will be held on Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday It's official Finally, some excitement

at last!! some excitement.

Does anyone really care what Tan Kin Lian thinks? Why didn't he join the election too? He is sure to qualify for a certificate, unlike Zeng Guoyuan. Had he done so, he would have lost his deposit for the second time within 1 year.

If Desmond Choo is his own man, why is Khaw Boon Wan doing most of the talking for him? Khaw has been all over the place making snide remarks criticising the WP. He was also there during Nomination Day along with Heng Swee Keat. Is this Desmond's own campaign or is he just a faceless stooge?

I have long held the opinion that SPH reporters are a complete embarrassment to their profession. Journalists are meant to have ethics and ideals. They are meant to be able to influence lives. Instead, they are just serving as a propaganda mouthpiece. I wonder how the reporters at SPH can look...

It would be even better if all the Opposition parties were to merge, just like what happened in Malaysia. PAS, DAP and PKR joined together to form a coalition despite their ideological differences. But in Singapore, everyone wants to be an Indian Chief. Even within WP, there are people like...

Yes, there is really a kampung spirit that has been fostered within Hougang. That can't be denied. The WP has built up a strong culture of cohesiveness here.

Desmond Choo's uncle What is the outcome of his court case? Isn't he being charged for graft? Should LTK reply to Khaw by saying that all PAP MPs are like Choo WK, since Khaw suggested that all WP MPs are like Yaw SL? And anyway, what's so bad about what Yaw did? Who hasn't screwed...

Interestingly, Tan Jee Say is also fiercely loyal to Goh Keng Swee, but he loathes the current PAP leadership

Why is there no video? TS, did you personally witness this incident? Such videos can make or break a campaign. Look at what happened to Dr Seet Ai Mee in Bukit Gombak in 1991 even without a video.
