He is either going up against vivian or iswaran...hve to eat a lot of balls...
Looking at the average age of the so called team, I thought they were running an old folks home committee. Are u fucking kidding ? The youngest person is 41 and that’s not even that young.
One thing in common between PAP and opposition: They all look damn ugly!
For politics, the age of 41 is consider young
and has many good years to serve the people 
Last heard michelle lee was seen with wp in 2015, after leaving sdp.
agree absolutely, these old foggies (even if tcb has some of the pappy vets onboard) are not a sign of progressiveness but just for oppo sakes.
doesn't augur well to give assurance to the 30% for his party to garner enough votes unless he gets some existing oppo heavy-weights to join.
better for him to then just stand in a smc
I opine TCB’s best bet is to get Yeoh Lam Keong on board. Latter is able to connect with the lower class and sympathetic to their pl
...... to their plight. In addition, when it comes to fiscal/economic policies, he’s one of the best in town. A quality none in opposition can come close to. Not even the great economist GMS! Honestly I don’t detect any weakness in this man.
I agree Yeoh is heads and shoulders above the field but trust the government to dig up some dirt on him once he enters the fray!
In the old days, PAP MPs get elected in their 20s. LKY was in his 30s when Chief Ministers. Mana young 40 yo?For politics, the age of 41 is consider young

Ok la .. go & find candidates under the age of 29
I wonder if he approached Yeoh Lam Keong. Would be a waste if he did not.
He leads a simple lifestyle. Doubt if there’s anything on him. More likely they’ll pressure his sister who’s a Perm Sec (Chee Yan).

In that cae, better let Hongyi step up

SINGAPORE: Former presidential candidate Tan Cheng Bock's application to form a new political party has been approved "in principle" by the Registry of Societies (ROS), Dr Tan said on Saturday (Mar 16).
The Progress Singapore Party can be registered provided it makes some amendments to its constitution, the former People's Action Party (PAP) Member of Parliament said in a Facebook post.

"We have proposed some minor changes to the ROS's amendments and are now waiting for their final reply," the 78-year-old wrote.
"The Registry of Societies has been very helpful so far, and I look forward to their favorable response to our application."

Dr Tan had announced his intent to form a new political party on Jan 18 and said that he headed a group of "12 concerned Singaporeans, including some ex-PAP cadres".
He said then that he came to this decision after studying many options, including joining an existing opposition party, taking over an existing opposition party and running independently.
Dr Tan, who was an MP for 26 years, ran unsuccessfully for President in 2011. In March 2016, he announced his intention to run again, but amendments to the Constitution precluded him from doing so.
Dr Tan had also mounted a legal challenge to the Government’s decision to reserve the last Presidential election for Malay candidates. The Court of Appeal dismissed his application.
