Paul Tambyah is a good man. 
Actually, being objective and unbiased -- Kenneth delivered the best speech on Nomination Day.
Lee Lilian's speech lacked substance. So did Koh Poh Koon's. Basically just a generic message with little content.
As for Desmond Lim, his speech was appalling. My plumber could do a better job.

look at LLL
it make me very sian
I think you are missing a major point. In politics it is usually the style that is more important than the substance.
KJ may have had meat in his speech but the jarring accent in which it was delivered and his nervous disposition detracted significantly from it.
Equally, on a broader issue: SDP may have elaborate policies, but outside the chattering classes on the Net, 99.99% of voters could not give a toss.
If SDP was absolutely convinced their policies were a real winner and they had a candidate head-and-shoulders above the rest then they would have contested.
Brandon: totally agree with you.
The only one who spoke with any conviction was KJ.
But lookg at the ground at the nom centre, I doubt he has much chance to win, I hope he doesnt lose his kkj.
The worst is desmond, he makes my terrier snd more convincing when shes barking at the cat.

Bro, I think it is unfair that people criticise Kenneth's accent.
He has lived in the UK for around 30 plus years. He was educated there and worked there. And he claimed that he found it difficult to get a job in Singapore due to his family name. To the point that Goh Chok Tong had to write a letter asking employers not to be biased against Kenneth (and his brother Philip) just because they were Jeyaretnams. This was during a time when JB Jeyaretnam was the opposition leader and taking a lot of flak from the government and the press. During this period of time, being associated with the opposition was taboo - there was a genuine climate of fear.
Hence, it is only normal for him to speak like an angmoh, he lived there all his life. People cannot fault him for that. People can fault him for his boring speeches that are overly academic or technical (maybe he has improved since GE 2011, who knows??)
Whatever it is, I don't think he will get back his deposit, and I don't think it is a good idea for him to even contest Punggol East. But it's still not fair for people (not referring to you, but people in general) to find fault with his accent.
BTW bro did you check out the place I recommended you for the car keys?
He will definitely lose his deposit. The requirement is 12.5%. He has no chance.
I think he is prepared for it. He told some reporters that he was "sure that he would win the votes of those who would not vote for WP in any case".
He is referring to the hardcore opposition supporters who want an entire revamp of the system and are not content with just asking the government to do more for the poor. There are some voters who want democracy, human rights, civil liberties and so on, and these voters may be disillusioned with the WP.
I am thinking that Desmond Lim of SDA would struggle to win even 1% of the votes because the 4.5% vote base (from 2011) would rather vote for KJ instead. Based on Desmond's performance during the Nomination Day speeches, I would honestly be surprised if he can even win 330 votes (which is 1%). He would probably only get votes from those who personally know him, or he has interacted with before.
My prediction is PAP 48%, WP 45%, RP 7%, SDA >0.5%
Kee chiu can become mini star already Mp standards no need so high one lah.
As long your estates are clean and tip top and once in a while go and kar jiao the govt. by asking Your mp to pester them by writing letters can already lah!
