Not about somebody or nobody. Material witness in police investigation, is to interview all those who have somehow related to the case. LTK is MILES AWAY while I was just next to JG on the ground.

How do the police know you next to JG or LTK miles away? They keep 24-hour surveillance on you all all the time? Of course they have to ask someone first to find out. Of course they ask the leader first.

 

[Perspective]

The clown obviously has not read the ground when it comes to JG. I am just helping him tie himself up.

I see and I agree. Analytical he is he's spending more on small details and you're right that he made Harbans Singh a topic.

He also logs in here but doesn't respond.

Basically because, I was with JG just before the incident happen. LTK wasn't there.

Actually, Sylvia was the one who drove JG to Elections Department to get the form. If the police really wanted to know the truth on this incident, they should have interviewed Sylvia instead of LTK!

The target is pretty clear right from the start.

You can't understand English or logic? My question is, how should the police know you were with JG? They had to ask someone. The logical choice to ask is the party leader.

AS usual GMS spends his weekend bickering in the SBF, enuf said:oIo:
No wonder he got kicked out from WP

 

[kingrant]

The Old Man was trying to fix LTK who is the leader, being SG. His modus operandi would be to show that the head did not know what the tail was doing, and to show him up as an incompetent idiot. That's why they had to go to LTK. so you are right.

[scroobal]

Yes. And it was indeed a bad show. This is despite this clown having problems in the past over the same thing. It shows that he is not bothered about the impact to others.

[Seee3]

Not an ordinary clown but a professional one. The real clown is the one who accepted him into their party.

60 seconds with … James Gomez

http://www.monash.edu.au/news/monashmemo/assets/includes/content/20100825/stories-60-seconds.html

Name: James Gomez
Title: Deputy Associate Dean (International) and Head of Public Relations
Faculty: Arts
Dept: School of Humanities, Communications and Social Science
Campus: Caulfield

How long have you worked at Monash?

Fourteen months.

Where did you work prior to starting at the University?

Keio University, Japan.

What do you like best about your role?

The opportunity to shape strategy and internationalise curriculum appeals to me most. In my role as Deputy Associate Dean (International), I am able to contribute towards the Arts Faculty HDR recruitment strategy. As Head of Public Relations, I enjoy directing the internationalisation of our curriculum aimed at preparing Monash graduates for their role as global citizens.

Why did you choose your current career path?

I have 15 years of field and leadership experience in political communications. I want to apply the knowledge gained from my professional duties into a tertiary research and teaching context.

What did you want to do for a career when you were young?

When I was young, I didn't think in terms of a career but I certainly had a tendency to speak up when I witnessed acts of injustice. The notion of social justice is a value that informs and shapes my personal and professional life. I carry it through in academia as a public intellectual.

What research are you currently working on and what does it involve?

I am currently looking at the impact of new media on human rights. The findings of my research will be published in a co-edited book entitled New Media and Human Rights in Southeast Asia as part of Routledge's Media, Culture and Social Change in Asia series later in 2011.

What is your favourite place in the world and why?

I would like to go beyond a favourite place and just say that I like to travel and enjoy different cultural experiences.

What is the best piece of advice you have received?

I have received many pieces of advice and I cannot recall any one in particular at the moment. I usually listen to different points of view before acting on one. I believe different "advice" is suitable for different situations and contexts.

Tell us something about yourself that your colleagues wouldn't know?

In 2006, I contested the Singapore's parliamentary elections in a group constituency and polled 44 per cent of the popular vote cast. Through that electoral experience, I learnt first hand about the use of new media for elections, negative campaigning and the importance of press freedoms. Insights gained from this experience informs my current research on new media and political communications.

The 2001 incident was very clear. Filling of forms was centralised and LTK has taken full responsibility for it. It's about time people stop claiming that JM is a moe. Moreover, if so, it did not stop the WP from fielding JG again in its A-team in 2006.

The incident in 2006, in contrast, is very baffling. JG went with SL to get a minority certificate. Why was there a need to get the certificate separately from the other forms?

Any explanation on how it is done from GMS since he promised to give a lesson on the election process?

 

[Ramseth]

The minority certification forms are of course separately processed from the nomination forms. All forms are obtained from ED, however the completed nomination forms are submitted at nomination centres, not ED. The minority certificate application forms have to be submitted to ED before nomination day so that minority certificates can be attached to completed nomination forms for minority candidates in GRCs.

 

[phouse3]

"All forms are obtained from ED..."

That was exactly my question. Why didn't WP get the certificate together with all the others forms?

The incident occured at the collection of the minority certificates, not at the collection of all forms, that was earlier. I think you still haven't differentiate between minority certificate application form and minority certificate. You have to apply first, don't you? After verification and approval, then you collect the certificate, don't you?

When I said minority certificate, I meant minority certificate application form. Even an idiot should know that.

Since forms-filling is centralised, why didn't the person-in-charge collect it earlier for JG together with the other forms? Then he might not have gone on a separate occasion with SL, stood at the counter to fill it and then forgotten to hand in.

Minority certificate cannot be approved and issued over the counter. It has been assessed for approval, to be collected days later. All parties including PAP follow this procedure. Go ask them.

All application forms were filled centralised, I don't know why you keep raising this. The ED video footage showed James removed his own form and placed it back into his document case at the the counter for application submission. Go ask him.

The question was NEVER about approval, handing in at different places, time needed for approval, blah, blah, blah.

If you don't know, please shut up and let GMS answer:
1. Did someone forget to collect all the forms at one go resulting in JG standing at the counter to fill up the form;
2. If forms-filling are centralised, shouldn't all forms (including the one on minority certificate) be scrutinised by the person-in-charge, LTK, team-leader, etc. Why was JG allowed to collect, fill and hand it in directly (which he didn't)?
3. JG's excuse was he has forgotten after he brought home the form. But shouldn't those people in charge (including LTK) ask for it?

Nobody stood at the counter to fill up the form. It's not about filling up the form. The form was filled but not submitted, that's the issue.

The video footage showed James removed his own completed form from the counter, placed it in his document case and left with it. James have never disputed that, and apologised for keeping the wrong paper in this case. Why you worry?

James was 2nd Asst. Sec-Gen. and candidate himself that time, not an errand boy.

Anyway, why he was no longer 2nd Asst. Sec-Gen. after the GE and eventually left the party, you go figure.

"On the 24 April, Gomez went to the Elections Department to fill up the minority-race candidate certificate application form accompanied by the chairperson Sylvia Lim. Instead of handing in the application form to election official, Gomez slipped the form in his bag and went off for an interview. At the time, Sylvia Lim had gone to a waiting area and did not witness the event.

On the eve of Nomination Day, James Gomez went to collect his minority-race candidate certificate claiming he had submitted the application form. After failing to get the certificate, Gomez warned an elections officer of the "consequences". " Wikipedia.

Firstly, please don't bullshit.

Secondly, centralised means centralised. It does not depend on rank.
