Miss Tan,
as much as u dislike pap, u cannot write them off because WP have the majority vote of 54.72%. u must be naive to really think wp can easily win aljunied at the next GE. wp will have to work extra hard just to retain the votes, no matter how many events they conduct in aljunied, there will still be another 90% of the voters who will not have the chance or cannot be bother to interact with their wp MPs.
there a good reason why ppl of hougang and old chengsan estate dislike the pap. george yeo himself also admit that there anger in the residents from his ex area of control, HG ave 4,6 and 8. A big part of the residents were forced to relocate from the punggol and jalan kayu kampongs, being forced from their land for a pittance in compensation to not go well with the residents. even with these advantages, LTK only managed an average of 53-55% of the majority vote in hougang over the years and 60+% of YSL will be a one off event, not to be repeated in the next GE.
Aljunied residents do not have an issue against the pap compare to resident of hougang. So every GE, both parties will have a clean slate and both parties will have to convince the voters that their party will provide the best future for the voters in the next 5 years. anyway pap normally annouce their candidates well in advance to the GE, to do grassroot activites for residents to know them. So point here trying to predict which pap heavy weight candidates will contest in aljunied.
