It is not kiasu. It is following Sun Zi's Art of War. If you know yourself as well as your enemy, in a hundred battles, you win a hundred. If you don't know yourself as well as your enemy, you always lose. If you know yourself but not your enemy or you don't know yourself but know the enemy, then it is 50:50. VW and Desmond by offering themselves as candidates so early in the game already lost 50% from the outset. WP and SDP kept silence about their candidates. They will retain their 50% for the time being. Overall the Opposition is presenting a very confusing picture to the PAP in terms of what sort of monster of an opponent they will be facing. This will aid the opposition.
good point!
