Not sure about the elderly but I opine the younger generation doesnt bother about one's race when electing their MP. It is time to review the GRC idea.

Between Pritam Singh and a Chinese from PAP, it's Pritam for me.

Jeyaratnam got elected against a Chinese candidate in SMC.
David Marshall was a Jew when he was elected Chief Minister.
But the PAP (based on Aljuneid experience) knows it is now a 2-edged sword.

The late JBJ won a multi corner election as a minority race and as an opposition. 有料不必怕， pap dog only know how to ride on coatails.

GMS will want to have a say in GE2016. He just can't help it, he has to participate. :p

i don't mind voting GMS as an opposition over any MIW candidate.

I don't mind either. Perhaps he may end up siding with MIW against WP dominated opposition, but it would be entertaining to see if and what he does.

If we vote an MIW candidate, FOR SURE he or she would side with MIW and likely to be boring shit.

By saying if no GRC may mean no minorities get in -HK is effectively saying he is elected purely on the race card- not on his merits.
That makes him no better than an NMP-he went in because he was nominated to ride on the coattails of the majority candidate.

Another example where the pappy's meritocracy sounds hollow and is in fact an insult on the ability of our minorities to get to Parliament on their own.
I would have voted for JBJ over LHL anytime.

Correct. JBJ got elected in Anson due to his political charisma, not his race. People saw him as someone able and willing to stand up for the people to question the pappies. He proved it in Parliament.

Wish there were more JBJs in sinkie land.

True.

Pritam would win any SMC if he stood against a Chinese pappy. He might be a non-Chinese but he belongs to WP and that is what matters.

Hence, there is this feeling that it is the PAP which is perpetuating the race issue.
Tharman, for one would be a much better PM than if he were to be pitched against Bargain Hen, Indian or no Indian.
