How come no Michelle Lee?

The best scenario will be to see Zeng Guoyuan, Ooi Boon Ewe and Andrew Kuan throw their lot into the ring. We will never forget this. Bird scold police

Voters need a good acupuncturist. A few needles to prompt them in a certain direction.

Where is our analyst GMS? Surely he is on par with GCT and Jaya. He challenged a minister in the past at Tampines and came pretty close to winning.

How come no Michelle Lee?

I am confident ML will do well. Comes across as a matured lady, humble, caring and with good brains. Most importantly, she is REAL.

LHL has been quoted in the papers as saying that getting a suitable candidate at short notice is difficult. Which means, to my mind, anyone already in the public mind would be out of the question. In view of the almost pow-su situation, the likely candidate's profile would be someone making around $8k, not a very distinguished career to date or almost at deadend. So doubling of pay may be worth a risk. It would be someone to whom they could offer something bigger come 2016, perhaps part of a GRC team headed by minister, not that it is any guarantee of pow-chiak but it will be a start.

Castigations of all and sundry in recent months is not likely to encourage many good people to want to stand. So it could be someone who will be mildly arm-twisted to take part - a newly minted scholar who is made to feel that he owes the PAP one. No sane successful executive from the private sector is likely to want to have his name dragged through the m&d. Especially if he/she has been sleeping around in their prior lives with someone who was not their spouse.

Which leaves the usual route of those who are in uniform or from the unions - the line up from the previous GE provides some clues that there have not been many acceptances of tea sessions with Bargain Hen. The supply chain is drying up.

How is her ability to connect with the heartlands? Doe she speak Mandarin, or any dialect?

The thing is Pinky will have to appoint a yes man to the seat and not a popular PAP candidate like Tan Soo Khoon as he cannot handle the discord from within

So its hard for Pinky to get a candidate as to him a good candidate is a yes man,,but if u put a yes man that has no appeal,,he is bound to lose the erection, if he put a popular pap candidate, he lets a tiger into his midst,,

why do u think the popular pap candidates were retired early and yet LKY can still sit there? no logic right?

The choice may be far easier than is often claimed. When the approach is made by the PM few would turn down the invitation.

It would be worth watching whether there is an announcement of a resignation from the SAF or the civil service in a few days time, which, fortuitously is the year end. Whether win or lose, the BE would allow the PAP candidate to cut his teeth on an actual election campaign.
