Singaporeans can't even lift their pens to vote against the Leegime. How to protest without the power of courage?
A few weeks before GE 2011, someone in this forum stated the possibility that WP may lose its only parliamentary presence after 2 decades. I recall that statement and the impact it had on the forum. You can sense the lack of confidence, people became more muted when making projections, etc. It took a couple weeks to raise the tempo and the forum came back to normal.
When WP smashed the GRC monopoly and up their winning margin in Hougang, suddenly everyone felt that they were experts and knew from the very beginning that WP will win at that scale.
Politics is never about gut feel. Voters in an electorate cut across a whole spectrum and they form opinions about parties over a period of time. They recall who made their rounds at the wet market, who was bullying whom etc. Unless there is a significant event, a swing of such proportion is unimaginable. Yaws is not significant event.
More importantly it about voters feeling confident about their future and that of their kids.
Elections in Singapore's recent history is about the conduct of the PAP and the future of Singaporeans. The future of Singapore might be bright but not the future of Singaporeans. They are struggling to keep their jobs. They seen their country changing overnight. They are abused by FTs, Ang Mos whack their biking helmet on their cars, jump queue and god knows what else.
This BE is not about Png or WP. Its about the scorecard of the PAP. Its about the sincerity of the apology and promise made by the PM.
I can't recall a single positive from the PAP since the conclusion of 2011 GE. Hougang will remain in non PAP hands.

He (Returning Officer) is highly influential when it comes to making other decision such as acceptance of nomination papers, validity of vote marking, donations etc.
Its (SIA) main operational costs is also engineering related and it is also in the transport sector
Absolutely. They abandoned the Tuas (Naval) base in a hurry despite it being new.
Injury of this nature cannot be settled or compounded. There is no country in the world that allows such a thing. Common sense will tell you that it will only benefit the rich. There will be mayhem in the streets with rich kids getting away with absolute abuse.
More importantly, the decision was made not to taint the expected PM designate Ng Eng Hen.
I was told this recently and I was taken aback - the PAP fears a 3 cornered fight as it suspects that WP voting bloc will remain intact. PAP voting bloc however might be split by a 3rd party or by a well known independent candidate wtth the only exception if Nicole steps in.
(On answering questions posed by political opponents)
You don't just answer like a school kid to any questions asked! In politics, you must know when to side track questions, parry them properly and answer them in a way that would make you look good or at least, square it off and not allowing your opponents to have an advantage over you.

hahaha...sorry bro, i was trying to protect my idol from being "accidentally" exposed...kukubird58, if you want to quote someone -- even sarcastically or sardonically -- appreciate you at least have the basic courtesy to indicate his SBF nick.
By the way, I (Scrooball) take great pains to write in a disjointed manner, full of spelling errors, missing words and in an abrasive, arrogant and bull-shitting style to create a false persona and hide my identity.
