And on the last 2 days of campaigning, Lee Hsien Loong drags out the PAP's trusty dusty old bogeyman from the basement - fear mongering - in this period of "danger and alarm", investors will be concerned if PAP does not get 100% of Parliament..
In 2011, the PAP - Goh Chok Tong in particular- invoked the same ghosts, that the Cabinet would be greatly diminished if George Yeo lost.
Well, George Yeo lost, the PAP's vote share was the lowest since Independence, and LHL cleared out 9 cabinet ministers (including his father), and even cut ministers salaries by 30%, after the election.
What happened after that?
Life went on.
The Cabinet did not disintegrate.
George Yeo's Aljunied GRC town council today, under the management of WP, has a very healthy sinking fund of $53 million.
The PAP even boasted how an increased amount of investments flowed into Singapore the following years!
See through the fear mongering, dear Singaporeans.
We are not birds. Don't - as the Chinese would say - gong jiao way. (Don't speak bird language, or don't talk nonsense.)
Don't belittle us and treat us like children with your strawman scarecrow.
