TCB did not lose his way. He went a separate way. Using analogies like "lost his way" by Woody demonstrates his:

- arrogance; his is the "our way, or the highway" and that there is only one way to go a place;
- inability to see beyond his nose; that sometimes when there are traffic jams, we can take side roads or alternate roads;
- belief that everything the PAP does is perfect; afterall they have ownself check ownself.

Even if TCB has lost his way, at least he knows where he is standing for the next GE. Woody does not even know if he will
be allowed to take part in the next mass erection. So, he has been making noise on FB and TCB to demonstrate his
barking capabilities.

What do you think?
 
dark side of the force: "join me."

Woody is trying his best to make the PAP look very very bad. So that people will NOT vote PAP.

He is sabotaging LHL. You guys are so stupid not to see it.

Tale of two RI classmates who joined PAP - The Online Citizen
At the launch of the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) on Sat (3 Aug), Dr Tan Cheng Bok, who had said that the People’s Action Party (PAP) has lost its way, teared up when he said he re-entered politics “for country, for people”. Recounting the time when Singapore’s founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew invited him to join the PAP, Dr Tan said it was now his turn to ask Singaporeans to join him.

Yesterday (4 Aug), ESM Goh Chok Tong decided to post a message on his Facebook page taking a dig at what Dr Tan Cheng Bok said at the PSP launch.

“Tan Cheng Bock says that Lee Kuan Yew invited him to join the PAP. Ouch! He omits to say that I put his name up to LKY. Surely I deserve some credit — or rather, blame — for who he has become now?” Goh wrote.

“‘For Country, For People’. He has conveniently left out ‘For Me’!” exclaimed Goh.

“Tan Cheng Bock was my classmate in Raffles Institution. I have known him close for over 60 years. It saddens me to see how he has ‘lost his way’. He is like Don Quixote tilting at windmills.”

Goh’s comment on Dr Tan, seems to suggest that the ESM was trying to “get back” at Dr Tan for saying that “PAP has lost its way”.


And while it may be true that it was Goh who introduced Dr Tan to Lee Kuan Yew but surely everyone knows that it would be up to Mr Lee, as then Secretary-General of PAP to decide if Dr Tan should be invited to join the PAP? At the point where Dr Tan entered PAP, Goh was just the Senior Minister of State for Finance. So what Dr Tan said was not wrong.

Both invited to join PAP but care for different things

Goh himself, was of course invited to join the PAP by Mr Lee earlier and was voted into Parliament as MP for Marine Parade Single Member Constituency in GE 1976. Dr Tan entered into politics the following GE in 1980, and was voted in as MP for Ayer Rajah Single Member Constituency.

Even though both men joined the PAP, they seem to care for different things.

Even as a member of PAP years ago, Dr Tan would like to see more oppositions in Parliament as it was heavily lopsided and was not healthy for Singapore in the long run.

For example, at a Parliamentary sitting on 29 Jul 1988, Dr Tan as MP asked then First DPM Goh whether the Government recognised the desire of Singaporeans to have an opposition in Parliament even though they might want PAP to be in-charge of the Government.

Dr Tan also questioned if the Town Council scheme would frustrate this desire as voters might be reluctant to vote in opposition MPs whose administrative skills might still be untested.

Goh, on the other hand, was less forgiving when dealing with members of opposition. In 1997 after the elections, he together with others sued opposition candidate Tang Liang Hong for defamation. They accused Tang of making statements during the election campaign which falsely questioned their integrity.

In the Particulars of the Statement of Claim served on 21 July 1997, the late Lee Kuan Yew conceded for the first time that he and ESM Goh Chok Tong had procured the release of the police reports. The ESM Goh made a similar admission in an affidavit he swore in August 1997.

In defence of the allegations, Mr Tang’s lawyer George Carmen’s statement to the High Court pointed out the ‘fundamental error in the case’. He noted that while under oath, PM Goh has admitted in Court that he has authorised Mr Lee Kuan Yew to release Mr Tang’s police reports to The New Paper, which led to the basis of defamation by the PAP MPs.

At 79, Dr Tan is still trying to make himself useful to Singapore, fighting for his beliefs despite challenges and potential financial cost to him. Meanwhile, Goh at 78, continues to insult people who support alternative causes.

This was inferred from the praise he had for Chiam See Tong who he said entered politics “not for selfish reasons or because he thought the PAP was not doing a good job,” which was rather a far cry from what he said about Dr Tan Cheng Bock earlier this month

Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong made rather deliberate remarks at the Chiam See Tong Sports Fund gala dinner, praising veteran opposition politician Chiam See Tong.

ESM Goh was the guest of honour at the event, and during his speech, described Chim as a “well-meaning, decent and honest politician”.

While Mr Chiam was not present at the event, ESM Goh conveyed his best wishes and warmest regards to the former. His wife Lina Chiam, who is a co-patron of the fund, was present.

In his speech on Thursday (August 22) evening, ESM Goh said that Chiam entered politics “not for selfish reasons or because he thought the PAP was not doing a good job”.

“I support the Chiam See Tong Sports Fund partially because I respect Chiam as a well-meaning, decent and honest politician and Member of Parliament. I say this sincerely, not just because of tonight. I think Lina (Chiam’s wife) would know, whenever I saw Chiam, we were able to talk with decorum very well.

Chiam entered politics not for selfish reasons, or because he thought the PAP was not doing a good job. He believed that Singapore should have a two-party system like other liberal democracies, with each taking turns to run a country. On the other hand, I believe that a small vulnerable country like Singapore needs a strong, durable government to protect and advance the people’s interest. Because I think a revolving door kind of government would do us no good”, ESM Goh said.

On resolving political disagreements, ESM Goh added, “So despite our differences in views on the system for Singapore, one dominant party or two parties with revolving doors, each taking turns to govern Singapore, we got on well. Chiam practiced constructive politics. And he helped set the tone for civil, Parliamentary debate in Singapore. That’s very important, constructive, civil debate in Parliament”.

ESM Goh’s comments raised some eyebrows because of their deliberate and pointed nature as earlier in the month, he commented about another veteran politician and former PAP member, Tan Cheng Bock, and how the latter had “lost his way”.

ESM Goh’s comments were especially interesting because, at a press conference last month, Dr Tan had criticised the People’s Action Party (PAP) for an “erosion of transparency, independence and accountability”.

Many have found ESM Goh’s comments especially harsh towards Dr Tan, because the latter was one of three visitors Mr Goh allowed apart from immediate family when he underwent surgery for prostate cancer in 2014.

After his speech at the gala, ESM Goh concluded by saying he was happy to support the Chiam See Tong Sports Fund because he had not yet raised funds for sports, despite having done so for other sectors. /TISG

That is inconsequential as the diehard PAP fans lap up everything he says. Tan Cheng Bock is the 'black sheep' of the PAP.
 
Vote for PAP, they are your PAST, PRESENT & the FUTURE. They are the best...anybody who is an opposition, has no past, never mind the present & certainly no future....stinkerporeans will agree...so VOTE FOR PAP!

I think he should not be seen or heard anymore! He is just too much of an embarrassment! Keep spouting self-righteous nonsense!
 
The way I see it, Woody never knew his way. So he couldn't have lost his way.:biggrin:
 
If Woody Woodpecker doesn't talk cock, I worry. :biggrin:

OH MY GOD!!! Why not say Chiam entered politics "FOR FUN" instead. If PAP is so great, Chiam would have joined them instead of becoming an opposition. Goh Chok Tong really know when to lie about someone either dead or paralysed and can no longer argue with him. KNNBCCB!
