Best quotes from Goh Meng Seng

[CannonFairy]

This is my tribute to Goh Meng Seng. This is what he wrote that won my vote for him, if he stands against Vincent Wijeysingha. Feel free to add on

Politicians may or may not have strong principles on social justice, rule of law etc but even if they feel strongly about such things like anti-ISA and such, they would make due considerations of the political environment they are living in before they make these as the key issues of the day. Note, I am not saying such things are not important or could not be made into big political issues. Such issues have become important GE issues in other places, even in Hong Kong with regards to the Article 23. But in Singapore, it is not likely to be a key hot topic issue.

An astute and experienced politician like LTK in Singapore would avoid making anti-ISA as the key issue. But please don't jump into conclusion that LTK is not anti-ISA. He IS ANTI-ISA due to historical perspective. Just that he is NOT a "political activist" who will disregard political reality and go all out. He is a Politician and he would have to take the political inclination of his constituents into considerations.

Having said all these, we should also observe the inherent weaknesses shown by the GE2011 results. WP has basically thrown everything in Aljunied GRC and the result of 54% is something which many people feel is "good that they have won" but nothing "exceptional". It is some sort of a "mixed feeling". Of course, if you are to be like Golden Dragon who will only see win or lose, then you would be very pleased and satisfied with it.

gms : wp win with 54% in aljunied grc is nothing exceptional

60% would be exceptional, 54% still too close for comfort esp with so many condominums projects coming up and substantial PAP supporters in the GRC. Next GE is still very much touch and go. You all don't suan him so badly lah, I also don't like him very much but he has moments of truth though zero moments of humility

GMS 2006 : 43% in Aljunied is a thunderous result.

GMS 2011 : 55% in Aljunied is nothing exceptional.
