"Will keep you posted."
He also shared that he spent the weekend quietly with his family.

(THE NEW PAPER) -*When Dr Chee Soon Juan’s daughter E Lyn returned home one day with a poor score in her mathematics test, she was afraid to show her father the results.
E Lyn, now 13, says she was fearful her father would scold her.

On Friday, the tables were turned.
It was Dr Chee, the secretary-general of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP), who had returned with a less-than-satisfactory report card.
The SDP candidates, led by Dr Chee, lost to the People’s Action Party (PAP) team in the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC.
The margin of defeat -*33.38 per cent of valid votes won -*was well below the 39.92 per cent obtained in the 2011 General Election.
This despite great expectations from pundits and indications on the ground.
Sitting in a room with other candidates at the SDP office in Ang Mo Kio, E Lyn and her sister An Lyn, 16, and brother Shaw Hur, 11, sensed their father’s disappointment.
“Maybe it’s not the time. (But) there will be a time in the future,” An Lyn tells The New Paper on Sunday early yesterday morning.

MINOR SETBACK

The defeat is a minor setback, adds E Lyn, reflecting a maturity beyond her years.
So no, you are not likely to see the last of Dr Chee.
“Just keep going and don’t give up,” she says of the future.
“This time it doesn’t matter because next time he can work harder.”
Recently, the siblings and their mother made a video clip to wish Dr Chee, 53, luck in the General Election.
In that video, E Lyn says that despite her poor maths results, her father comforted her and told her not to care about the results as long as she had put in the effort.
Son Shaw Hur had tried to comfort his father during those tense moments when the bad news filtered into the room at the SDP office.
A tired-looking Dr Chee, a former psychology lecturer at the National University of Singapore, sat at the end of a table staring at a laptop screen.
Shaw Hur, a cherubic teen who occasionally stepped outside the room with E Lyn to study the results that were projected on a wall, noticed his father “was kind of quiet in the room”.
Shaw Hur says: “I feel proud of him that he didn’t get so down about not winning this time in the election.”

I prefer to use Outlaws From The Marsh as the reference ...

Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Liu Bei and Sun Quan may not like or trust each other, but against a more powerful common enemy they have to work together.

In politics, every leader aspires to be the PM. No 2 tigers on a single hill. CSJ may propose but LTK will not dispose.

the swing votes came mainly from this age group 21 to 30 and first time voters.

uncle Leong SH please help provide figures . tks.

Don't mind me asking but is this a verified fact or an opinion?

TJS is Meng Huo.

A fictional character... you suspect Meng Huo is a deep under cover sent from the you know who?

 

[Sperminator]

I prefer to use Outlaws From The Marsh as the reference, because what Song Jiang did initially to recruit the top generals one by one was nothing short of remarkable.

after looking at 水浒传 I really hate 松江 Song Jiang... 不要诏安啊大哥！If you use that as an analogy, that means whoever is Song Jiang is going to join PAP eventually... and risk their base camp destroyed forever!

better use 古惑仔 better... haha, the show that's banned in Singapore...

SDP to Join WP ?

Is it possible in practice? One mountain cannot have two tigers. Will WP even agree? What's the benefit to WP?

 

[Sideswipe]

there is no interests that benefit the WP to join force with SDP so that will never happen. it's clear that the WP would rather stay apart from the rest of the Opposition.
