Possible Tan Cheng Bock contesting GRC

I will be more than happy if he can field 2 teams in WC GRC and Jurong GRC since that is the area where he got the most grassroots support. Plus the fact is to prevent pap gerrymandering tactic by contesting 2 GRC in close proximity. But it depends really on the resources he got in his hands.

I would think it illogical for him to contest one in WC GRC and one team in the north like yishun. It doesn't give him any tactical advantage other than overstretching himself plus the possibility of engaging in a 3cf involving WP.

So I think we should not over read his kopi session in Chong Pang
 
TCB needs to coordinate his moves with the oppies. Throw LHY into the mix and we've got a fiery cocktail.

Individually, all these disparate oppies wont stand a chance against the PAPpies state machinery.

LHY and LWL only need to show up during Opposition rallies, and the impact will be felt.
 
If the Oppositions announce that the siblings will speak at the rallies, I tell you Reuters, Bloomberg, CNN and other international news reporting agencies will circle like vultures.

Is that good or bad for the oppies?
 
Oppies need to help themselves ... gain some balls for a start. The siblings are media magnets. You say leh ?

Sinkies long ago been castrated by the dead old fogey.

Like in Chink dynasties, Sinkie eunuchs only kow tow to the emperors.

SINGAPORE - Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat said Singaporeans will need to decide who can better serve them, in response to former People's Action Party (PAP) MP Tan Cheng Bock's return to politics.
Dr Tan's move to form a political party is "a development that is not totally unexpected", Mr Heng said on Sunday (Jan 20) on the sidelines of a community event in Tampines.

"Singaporeans will have to decide on who can serve them better, and I will leave Singaporeans to make that judgment," he said.


Mr Heng, first assistant secretary-general of the ruling PAP, is the first PAP leader to weigh in on news of Dr Tan setting up a political party.

Tan Cheng Bock applies to form new Progress Singapore Party
Last Friday, Dr Tan, 78, announced that he had applied last Wednesday to register the Progress Singapore Party, which includes 11 other "like-minded Singaporeans", some of whom are former PAP cadres.
The six-term MP, who retired from politics in 2006, lost narrowly to Dr Tony Tan Keng Yam in the 2011 Presidential Election. He resigned from the PAP that year.
The next general election must be held by April 2021.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam said he bumped into Dr Tan Cheng Bock last Saturday (Jan 19) during his usual morning walkabout at Chong Pang hawker centre and the nearby coffee shops.
"I told Dr Tan to come more often. I tell this to a lot (of) people - good for business in Chong Pang," he said, adding that he also took a photograph with Dr Tan.
Dr Tan also posted on Facebook photographs from his breakfast in Chong Pang. In one of them, he was seen with former National Solidarity Party acting secretary-general Hazel Poa, who contested in the 2011 General Election.
Ms Poa could not be contacted for comment.

Won’t happen lah but those in TCB’s team will not lose deposit for sure. They’ll easily get 40% in any GRC they contest.


No biggie,,,cannot win and enter parleement,,,the impact is not there and MIws will never be accountable
 
It would be a super tight slap on CAQ's face if TCB contest and win in AMK GRC. I dare to dream the impossible dream!:biggrin:
 
It will be interesting to see if there will be a grassroots revolt if tcb contest in his ex ward. If that ever happen, then a win is quite possible.
