I cannot understand this blind faith in WP, maybe it's like worshippers' faith in Con Hee.
I do not know what he is whining about... a big "sour grapes"..like he would have been. should have been & would be a MP...oh gourd!

Goh Meng Seng's biggest achievements in GE2011 is grooming Nicole Seah. That's what NSP is best known for and nothing else.
we pay our ministers millions and yet they cannot solve this pandemic problem..
6 NEA and its officers are civil servants who are duty bound to protect the safety of the public through ensuring high standards of hygiene. It therefore rejects allegations that any of its actions have been politically motivated.
[h=2]Dengue cases hit 9,000![/h]
June 8th, 2013 |Author: Editorial
More than 400 new cases of dengue were reported in
Singapore this week, bringing the total number to over 9,000 for this year. So
far, 1 person has died.
3 weeks ago (May 17), the total number of dengue cases was just 7,000.
For the whole year in 2011 and 2012, the number of cases were 5,330 and 4,632
respectively.
Five new dengue clusters have also been identified in Geylang, where more
than 30 people have fallen ill. Over the past four days, seven dengue cases were
reported at Lorong 9 to Lorong 21 in Geylang.
Shopowners in the area have been busy cleaning up drains and ditches to
prevent mosquito breeding.
According to NEA [Link], a dengue cluster is
formed when 2 or more dengue cases occur within 14 days and the homes of the
dengue victims are within the distance of 150m.
There are 3 alert levels. It indicates the severity of a dengue cluster. Each
alert level is associated with a list of preventive actions that the public can take to protect
against dengue:
Definition Alert Level High-risk area with 10 or more cases Red High-risk area with less than 10 cases Yellow No new cases, under surveillance for the next 21

As at yesterday (7 Jun), there are 52 dengue clusters in Red and Yellow Alert

Goh Meng Seng made a huge tactical error in GE2011.
He should have concentrated all his efforts on one GRC, probably Tampines, which had Mah Bow Tan as the lead minister there. He was hugely unpopular due to his HDB policies. If NSP had won Tampines, the PAP would not have had the chance to sideline Mah Bow Tan, which effectively puts the whole of Tampines outside the line of fire.
Goh Meng Seng chose to spread his resources thinly and focus on CCK, Tampines and Marine Parade. If he had just focused on Tampines and fielded a team which included himself, Nicole Seah, Hazel Poa and her husband (or Jeannette Chong/Steve Chia)+ one minority candidate, they would have had a good chance of winning. Goh's team that comprised no one worthy of note managed to get more than 40% of the votes, so if he had fielded a strong team there, they could have won.
WP on the other hand went for broke in Aljunied and it paid off. George Yeo was a far more difficult opponent than Mah Bow Tan, as he was popular and wasn't seen to have screwed up big time. This was NSP's huge mistake and that was why Goh Meng Seng had no choice but to resign. His career as a politician is now in tatters.
