Correction - you will be disqualified as MP. To be exact, Chiam left SDP only in 1996 and refreshedly contested under SPP in 1997. He tried to fight very hard to stay as a member in 1993.

YSL was overheard saying very boldly to msm reporters that even if they expose 8 or 10 women, it is still "no comment".
He seems supremely confident that everyone is going to stand by him.

I see.
Sounds a bit odd though. Let's say you win a seat as an independent candidate. You'd have no party anyway, right? So I don't quite see the logic in how a party sacking would mandate being disqualified as MP, unless the argument is that people voted for you as a member of a party and not purely as individual.

If wife opens mouth to media " I believe in him and stand by him. ", she will be bombarded by leeporters ," So did he do it? " .Jialat liow... Then she will be forced to lie for him or confess for him. If she divorces him, it is as good as indirect confession by Yaw, and all the strategy of keeping mum by him goes down the drain. I think she'd better stand by him quietly. I believe wife at this time is the victim and suffers the most, and if possible will try to shy away from media. Many have disagreements on how WP and Yaw responded to the scandal, and I think they will have to bear the repercussions of their course of actions depending on individual's level of perception and acceptance. But it's a shame some fella can snake through these sort of things Bo Tai Ji, as highlighted in bro Scroobal's other thread, on how one can by good fortune of his special connection and backing, escape the scrutiny of the media and people unscathed, and still can climb up higher and higher.
Dear TFBH,
The "WP stonewall " is a page straight from the Low Book of media relations. Even before GE 2011, Low as the sole WP representative had a reputation of being uncontactable for comments when he wanted it so.
When the party was LOW and LOW was the party, it made certain sense. It makes less sense with six opposition MPs and the first Malay Opposition MP for donkey years. Politicians live and die by the media. The relationship between the media and the WP is not a one way street as dictated by the wishes and wants of the WP depending on the occasion and the sooner they wake up to that fact, the better it is for them,
The stonewall exists or is in place for no other reason than to protect Yaw in case someone decides to redeem him at a later stage. Is the WP immune to the normal dictates of the media game ? Can they afford even a 2% drop in support for the party if this issue is not dealt with correctly ?

Like many people here, I would really like WP and YSL to come clean and tell us the truth. However I also think that from WP's point of view, remaining silent may be the best strategic thing to do, after doing their maths and calculations.
It's still early into the term, being 4 more years before the next GE. There's still a lot of time to wait and see what develops, then react accordingly. Making an early hasty decision now that they may regret later is likely to be a bad idea. What has happened is going to lose them some votes, but will it be a significant amount of votes? If YSL stays at Hougang SMC, is he going to lose the 30% margin he held? Is WP going to lose the 8% margin they held in Aljunied? It's possible, but really highly unlikely.
If LTK had big plans for YSL's future with WP, then they will probably have to be shelved, possibly for good. WP's immediate goal is to keep Hougang and Aljunied safe while trying to make headway into other constituencies. YSL can still play an important part in this by staying behind in Hougang to keep it safe. Dumping YSL and replacing him with someone else is not only unlikely to affect the polling results, but a waste of a good candidate being moved from another constituency into Hougang.
Seriously, expecting WP or any politician to be a pillar of morality is being simply naive. Their primary goal is to win your votes, and to do that they just need to make sure you like them more than the other guy. How many people are going to say "I hate the PAP. WP is becoming like the PAP so I hate WP. Therefore I am going to vote for PAP instead of WP."?

I would agree with you on this. WP has grown and become more successful in parliament, but the methods of media relations have not changed.
WP is taking a calculated gamble that their tried and tested strategy of "if there's nothing good to say, don't say anything", will work again, or rather --- that it will be the least bad strategy of all possible strategies. They are falling back on historical experience and past behaviour, which as you've point out may not work or becoming irrelevant in this day and age.
It doesn't apply to independents. But independents have a low projection rate, that is the trade-off. How many independents around the world win seats.
Perspective is right. Old Man changed the rules after his MPs crossed the floor and defected to the Barisan Sosialis. Thereafter, he changed rules such that if an MP leaves or resigns from his party on which he was elected, then the seat falls vacant and a BE has to be called to fill it.

It's the expected number when all his shit gets spilled lah. :p Hint hint a bit to test water and market reaction first.
and i would seriously encourage forummers here not to engage in and fall for such exchanges of field reports and/or pics and images of minors, even though you may think it's a joke, for fun, or they may seem harmless to you. it's criminal, and law enforcement all over the world are spending much time, effort and money scouring the internet, going undercover, posing as fellow members, and sniffing for evidence, identifying and watching perpetrators. it's zero tolerance, and it's one area in cyberspace where many countries' law enforcement agencies have agreed and come to work together, especially when underaged girls and boys are involved.
sam should put up a strong reminder on this, and i'm sure he already has. members just ignore or don't read.

Too be fair to YSL,,,how come no one comment that Angela was unfateful too? it takes 2 to tango,,if he want affair and she dont want affair,,would that not be rape/harrasement? so Both are at fault as both were unfaithful,,,
