I am at a coffeeshop, close by the counting centre together with my close friends Robert Ho and David Duclos. We have taken strategic seating positions with the aim of covering the rear entrance of the counting centre.
Yesterday a contact called Martyn called me and said that Robert heard coded message in the form of taps from the flat owner above his flat. The message decoded indicates a plan to stuff the ballot box and bring them in thru the rear gate.
I have gathered back-up support in the form of Seelan, Rachel and Ti Lik in the event if our kopi si is poisoned.
We have acquired a parabolic device which our contact says can listen into conversation clandestinely. We began picking up some interesting conversations and comments. More importantly every half an hour or so, there is loud cheer, howling and slapping sounds and then it remains very quiet with muffled sounds.
We were puzzled and wondered what was going on. We then called Ah Tee, the kopi tiam assistant to check out as he has been supplying kopi and teh to the staff at the counting centre. Ah Tee came back and told us that it is a tough fight between WP and PAP but the cheering is due to everyone cheering as one vote is discovered for either KJ or Desmond. We asked Ah Tee, so how, how many they got. He said there was about 7 shouts, so thinks that KJ got 3 and Desmond 4.
Ah Tee also told us that Dr Koh, the candidate for PAP is a friendly chap. Dr Koh approached him and told him that his father was a kopi tiam assistant in a Punggol coffeeshop before becoming a bus driver. Ah Tee however favours KJ as KJ gave him generous tip to put egg in his milo. Also told us that Li Lian take coffee straight black and he suspects that it is because of dieting. We asked what Desmond drinks and he told us that he cannot understand what Desmond wants as his English is terok. Ah Tee by the way is a peranakan uncle who studied at Imperial college and lost his engineering job to an Indian FT.
We tried to cover the beverage preference for PAP people but Ah Tee said that he was not comfortable as he did not want to be sued.
we are now having a short break. David has been eyeing chinese rojak and we are all digging in. Be back back shortly.
