Punggol BE Pundits stumped, PAP launches rescue boat

hardcore PAP voters wouldn't, moderate voters on the fence whom voted for PAP in the last GE would have a chance to hear KJ articulating his policies in Queens English

I put it to you that this is not so. Why? Many PAP voters, including moderates are aware that the son and his late father have a grievance against the Lees. PAP voters, whether hardcore or moderates, would not vote for someone motivated by personal animosity towards to the two key figures on S'pore's political scene.
bcos the papzis know that the ground is shifting from them. broken promises may be a disillusioning factor too. opening the floodgate to massive import of foreigners and contributing to loss of jobs & lower incomes?

You forgot the ex-MP for Serangoon Division, a certain Mrs LHH.
This is further proof that people don't give a shit whether Koh Poh Koon is ministerial material or not.
for all those armchair strategist who have no idea why LL was picked... look at Pritam speech again...
I say it long ago that she basically run Eunos for him.... and now we have Pritam words for it
the other LA who come near LL to in term of work rate would be choon yong....
were there to be another BE, my bet would be choon yong....
It's strategy i reckon. AIMgate and Palmergate are two huge issues especially the former. There is an obvious move not to go full throttle on these two very sensitive issues at this early stage of the hustlings. PAP always scrutinise oppositions' speeches and if they find a lapse or two they will launch their tirade - notably character assassination and defamation suit.
WP is warming up the crowd and threading very carefully. I agree they will launch their rebuke on AIMgate and Palmergate (more so the former) for the grand finale. It will give PAP no time to respond and defend adequately. (however, you can bet state media will come to the rescue during cooling-off day)
nope so long as he wears the white suit. come to think about it, how many ministers are minsterial material?
I read with the understanding that it was more indirect involvement (soothsaying, advice) from Zhihau's pose. She was a smart lady. The facade in public can be deceiving. Francis Seow said in one interview in 2011 that Mdm K was the "dowager" or "dragon lady".
New citizens are likely to start off in the older estates getting their flats from the secondary market while waiting for their BTOs or if they are rich enough go into a private estate. Not a strong Punggol East characteristic.
That is what i thought too! Still early to use the silver bullet. I expect gloves will be off if the PAP tries anything funny too!
He definitely is jabbing at PAP becos he reminded the crowd why they were here again for another BE.
we all know something... you are the only one who dunno anything but like to pretend to know everything... trying being more humble and you may learn something for a change
True but do you think that she could have improved the image of the PAP? Being an empress dowager doesn't mean that you are capable as a political / electoral consultant. I think the PAP is pretty shit at this game when KGC was alive, and they're still shit at this game now that KGC is dead.
Give him a break lah. You can be a hero too once Shanmugam mentions you by sbf nickname in a lawyer's letter.
The Old Man did admit that she was a better judge of character than himself. Probably it was just that that led people to believe she wielded a lot of power. If she could advise and persuade the Old Man on the appointment of key officials, wouldn't that seemed like wielding a lot of power?
That statement doesn't really mean as much as it seems. Women are always better at reading people than men are and it is not uncommon for husbands to trust the judgements of their wives in this matter.
Almost anybody is a better judge of character than LKY himself because he doesn't give a shit about anybody other than himself.
First ladies are in a great position of power if they want to wield it. Think about people like Sonia Gandhi, Hillary Clinton (who could well be the next US president) and Eleanor Roosevelt. And Ho Jinx.

This would be par for the course in any elections anywhere else. Even RJ said nothing. Something tells me it is not going to happen. Palmergate I understand as it will like the kettle and the pot scenario but Aimgate is a legitimate issue despite the threat issued to AA.
I reckon WP is careful with AIMgate because the explanations issued by THP revealed little and insinuates a lot. It's probably a political booby trap trying to make too much of a meal of it when the PAP is very economical with the facts and truth behind?
I note with interest that AIMgate exchange with the PAP was hogged on by bloggers and netizens. Every political party is silent including WP. The usually inquisitive SDP is also reticent.
