Lacklustre performance? Losing to TT and the entire PAP/Govt machinery by 0.34% with a rag-tag team of volunteers is lacklustre? It may not have been what you would like to see in an EP campaign, but it definitely based on his idea of what the campaigning should be about. He fought a...

TJS's rise in perceived popularity and TRE's endorsement came after nomination day. Based on the info just prior to Nomination Day, he would have no clear or imagined indications that he will be the Internet "Front-runner" against TT. Yet he proceeded to submit his nomination. In the...

I disagree that it's an error of not being able to read the ground. TJS as well as TKL, know full well that they cannot secure the required support. The only chance of either of them winning is if TCB steps aside, which is impossible. The problem is due to inflated egos and the fact that their...

You don't get it, do you? HE DOESN'T QUALIFY. That is the reason why we begrudge him for taking part in the race. If he does qualify, then by all means he is free to decide what he wants to do, that is democracy at work and we will accept the results even if our preferred candidate loses.

To fulfill the long term goal of winning 2016, he should have stopped at the nomination stage and not go further. By being made used of, he shows what kind of selfish person he is. His betrayal of a mentor and supporter will be remembered.

Absolutely agree with the analysis. The distaste with TJS candidature is made worse by the fact that he and Ang Yong Guan was coached by TCB for GE2011. He even had to cheek to offer his help with TCB's campaign when it was first announced. To me, his betrayal stinks. He lacks the character...

TKL earned the right to the contest. TJS DID NOT. He is just a puppet made used by the govt. And the naive unemployed rabble rouser, decided to contest to enjoy the limelight and chose not to see that his moves are all orchestrated by the govt. His stupidity will be remembered for a long time...

The single biggest why TJS is being blamed is that the PEC bend over backwards to award the COE to him. HE IS CLEARLY NOT ELIGIBLE BY ANY COUNT. Anyone who feels that what he did as MD of the funds management company qualifies him to run under the PRESENT CONSTITUTION is clearly deluding...

The PEC only provided the bait. The politically naive one is TJS for going through with the elections. If he had stopped short at the nomination stage, the would have been greatly lauded, and his stature raised as he was issued with the COE. UnfortunateLy, by choosing to go ahead with the...

Agreed. TJS had the chance to contest because LKY promised TT that he will win the PE. When the ground turned sour, and the signs that TCB will win with an overwhelming mandate, they were forced to bring in a popular opposition icon to act as a magnet for anti-PAP votes. This risky option was...

There will be a rally.

Tcb 41% tt 39% tjs 15% tkl 5%

I belong to 39.9%, but I think many of the 39.9% will also vote TT or void vote if its TKL vs TT. No need to find someone to split vote. And the reason why no large scale orchestrated Smear Campaign on TKL so far is that the Govt needs TKL to split as many votes away from TCB. Can you see how...

You have a great imagination. Using TCB to split TKL and TJS votes? The govt got crystal ball, knows from day 1 that TKL and TJS will come in to fight the EP? If they know, maybe the entire EP contest is scripted by the powers to be? TJS was let loose to split the votes from TCB. TKL...

Many people agree with you and think that TKL should withdraw. But we will need some people to whisper into his ears that that is the wish of many people. Otherwise, TKL continue to wait by the phone and cannot announce his decision to quit the race, not so good for his image.

TKL in the fight will make the fight even closer than it is, but it would still be possible to eke out a win (of course the election campaign will still play a significant part especially the televised sections as well as unexpected bonuses like the "Thumbs-Up Handshake").

Hope that is the case.... If TJS go in, all his efforts to raise his political profile would have gone to waste. He will take the blame if TT wins by less than 50% and TCB wins more votes than him. Anyway, election preparations in TCB's camp in full swing. Support coming from all age group...

There is another difference. The interest incurred goes back to your parent's CPF account and not to the bank. Agreed, it may be higher than a bank loan (depending on when you borrow), but the beneficiary of the interest payment is your own parents i.e., your parents would continue to enjoy...

Good for you that you can get cheap bank loans. This option is for those without access to other cheaper financing options.
