its naivety rather than hypocrisy

TJS is not an option because the NCMP seat will not fall down to SDP. In addition, I think TJS is not the best option within SDP because he a bit rash and tends to jump into things. Vincent, or even Michelle, would be a better choice. Within the NSP, there is no better option than Nicole in...

Not to mention it will split the vote in the new singapore democracy. do we want 3 or 4 cornered fights to be routine in singapore where the PAP can win 40% of the vote and still sweep all seats because WP and SDP and NSP contest in every single ward?

It has worked for the PAP for 52 years Political deals are part and parcel of the game, I do not know of a single democracy where this does not happen The issue is always about what you are doing it for I believe in this instance, SPP passing on the NCMP seat in favour of NSP could be doing...

what kind of lousy argument is this? Weak, weak, weak

Re: Opposition Parties Merging - NSP in demand Thats not how politics work. Before SPP even passes on the seat, CST will need to strike the deal with LTK first for it to work As the opposition alpha, WP can, and will be, moving on with its plans without too much thought about other...

Does this mean MM Lee has drawn over $50 million in salary and pension over the last 10 years alone? Thats without taking into account other possible renumerated government linked roles, ie GIC.

I'll bet my car and a bag of chips that this will blow up in the face of PAP Million dollar salaries for a minister is one thing. A George Yeo raking in northwards of $100 million at taxpayers expense is quite another

It keeps getting better! The more you dig, the more putrid the stench coming out What Singaporeans should do is: 1. Establish how accurate this email actually is. You want to be as accurate as possible. A proper and full audit is the ideal way to go about it 2. Estimate the cost to the...

the clinton666 threads are the main reason why i continue to read sammyboy. especially when rogue trader and debonerman replies hilarious stuff

To give credit where credit is due, the SDP has been one of the major proponents of using the internet to spread the democratic message and mobilise the youth WP on the other hand, chose mainly to focus its efforts on the ground SDP's focus helped gain votes for all opposition parties, mainly...

Dream case scenario for GMS NSP merge with SPP SDP A Team defect into NSP GE 2016, the new NSP Chairman: GMS Advisor/Vice-Chair: CST SecGen: Benjamin Pwee A Team: GMS, Nicole, Tony, Hazel B Team: Benjamin, Jimmy, Gilbert, Cheo C Team: VW, TJS, Ang, Michelle D Team: Sebastian Teo, Jeanette...

Re: Opposition Parties Merging - NSP in demand If this were to happen, of course CST will have to strike a deal with LTK for WP to pass on the NCMP seat. Anyway, if such a deal can be struck, NSP will get Lina Chiam's NCMP seat. We only need for WP to pass once on the Lina Chiam seat for it...

Re: Opposition Parties Merging - NSP in demand Is it a forgone conclusion that the seat WILL NOT be offered downwards?

lets hope its no false dawn the last time Singapore elected a 'record number of opposition MPs' against the incumbent PAP....it fizzled out very quickly Opposition, please don't commit suicide CST had his shot in 1991 Now LTK will have his shot. Hope he fares a lot better

Agreed that the SDP old guard is very distinct from the NSP old guard However, both the new star recruits of both parties are more centrist and thus significantly less far apart Do they look horribly out of place together? Tony Tan Tan Jee Say Nicole Seah Vincent Wijey Hazel Poa Alec Tok...

Re: Opposition Parties Merging - NSP in demand Rumours at this early stage seems to have SPP and SDP as frontrunners in the courtship of NSP. SPP can dangle an NCMP seat for NSP While an SDP deal probably leaves more of the existing NSP management in power. Whoever is left out...

If the PAP deteroriation continues apace in GE 2016, are we facing a Romance of the Three Kingdom situation where the political scene in Singapore is consolidating towards a three party standoff? WP is now the 2nd party. Other parties, with the possible exception of NSP, face a significant...

Re: Guess how many requests were possibly granted at TPL's first Meet the people sess good point. getting all my friends to queue up liao parking fine, sppeding ticket, letter of appeal, school exemptions, just whack

Ya boy. WP is now the 2nd party. There is possibly room for one more party....the rest will disappear over the next couple elections. The first to merge out of this lot: NSP, SPP, RP, SDP....will survive and that merger must include either NSP or SDP. NSP-SPP: makes sense. You could make a...
