Punggol BE Pundits stumped, PAP launches rescue boat

[GoldenDragon]

A shock WP upset is going destabalise the PAP internally.

I share the same view. Pinky's authority and competency will be questioned internally. I suspect Woody will be most delighted.

The sudden decision by DL to cancel his rally was the best indication that they have realised the actual ground situation. TOC has estimated he was burning close to 1k a day to pay his supporters ... A clear obvious sign of him being paid to contest. His handlers must have cancelled the rally to preserve the few Opposition votes going his way.

Yes. No point throwing money away even though they have more than enough to fund DL all-the-way.

I think AIM is a PAP owned company, i.e. PAP is the main, or only shareholder.

So you can actually sell such an entity to a political party? I suppose if you can get shit like the Town Council Act passed in parliament, you can say anything or everything is legal.

You don't know whether all these things are illegal. But you can definitely say that it's very inappropriate.

LHL is not concern if this ward goes to WP. He has no desire to see the Young Turks strengthening. This is the Young Turks' by-election. The candidate is their choice, not his. Thus, the lukewarm support for the candidate.

I thought that Goh Chok Tong was the "old fart" faction and LHL was the "young turk" faction. Who's the leader of the young turks?

This Dennis Tan looks like a good catch for the Worker's Party.

Don't buy your theory that the candidate is not LHL first choice. The young Turks have no power base yet to overrule LHL, especially when old man is still lucid. Koh is pap choice, and LHL is fully behind it. LHL is just giving impression that the young Turks have overruled him and that in unlikely event the WP wins, LHL can point fingers at others and preserve his base.

Terence Tan or Dennis Tan
because I recall that based on the internet video of the WP's first rally, lawyer Terence Tan spoke for 6 to 8 minutes.

Thanks, as I have not taken the time to watch the video of the WP's second rally.
Do you have the url or link for this Dennis Tan?

 

[6000kmApart]

WRONG.

What do you mean by say too much?? Nothing is too much if you're speaking about the facts and its impact on town council management.

Use your brain silly, this is singapore, do you think it is a first world country?

Goh Chok Tong is the dinosaur faction which nobody cares about. He thinks that he has the kind of influence that the old leaders in the CCP has.
The Young Turks are CHAN Chun Sing, TAN Chuan-Jin, HENG Swee Keat. Who is the chief honcho, god knows?

Rightly called dinosaurs since - ever noticed that the cabinet pre 2011 and post 2011 have so many changes that it's almost as though a change of government has taken place. Almost as though another party has taken place of the old PAP.

Thank you.
With respect, he is good, but there is room for improvement regarding public speaking, pronounciation and intonation.
I may be biased because being a non-resident for decades, on a daily basis, I am used to hearing a different sounding English.

Are they brothers? Their Chinese names are very similar.

Are their Chinese names very similar, as per tradition, where the first half runs in the same generation?
Howver, they do not look alike.

You are right, they do not look alike.
Dennis is 陈立峰. (He said 独立的“立”，山峰的“峰”)
Terence is 陈立正. (This I guessed)
Both are very passionate speakers.

May be one of you folks may consider asking the WP?

You're so fucking dumb, I'm surprised you have the cheek to spew your ignorance here, as if you know politics, which you DON"T!

Tonight again, in the second rally, the WP again raised the issues of AIM saga in no uncertain terms. So, get real. GET SMART, dumb dumb.
