What does For every election we bring in about 25 new candidates
mean?
As we know that PAP got 82 seats in the 84 seats parliament all these years from 80s untill now, so it worked out that 100%(25/82)=30.48%
In other words 25 PAP MPs will have to be dropped out each GE, no other ways. That is their drop out rate =30.48% - much much worse than the opposition's, at least 10X worse.
That is yet not the worst thing in PAP, because the real rotten old wood like LKY & GCT & Jayakuma & WKS will still remain in highest post regardless of how the bottom rubbish got swept away. The 30.48% new faces is nothing but the REPLACEMENT RE-PACKAGING MATERIAL just like carpet and wall paper that get changed in every GE in order to hope TO FOOL & DECEIVE & WRONGLY IMPRESS THE VOTERS!
These 30.48% are the FALSE-HOPE COMPONENTS!
Nothing more than that!
So as a PAP MP the prospect is so bad! They quality as candidate are proven to be so fucked up, they are consumable material to get used and discarded, for short term only.
In Ah Beng terms this is KAN NAH SAI = crappy!

25 new faces in PAP election line-up

The People’s Action Party (PAP) second assistant secretary-general Teo Chee Hean says its election line-up will include about 25 new faces.
These new candidates will come from a range of occupations, some with grassroots experience and some from the public and private sector.
Mr Teo said in an interview with the Straits Times (ST), “For every election we bring in about 25 new candidates. I think you can see from our record from the last few elections that we’ve always put an emphasis on making sure we get good people in, renew (the ranks of) MPs and leadership. That’s important for us.”
“You can expect the same sort of proportions in the coming elections,” he added.
The PAP typically replaces up to a third of its MPs for the elections. The party replaced 24 in 2006, 23 in 2001 and 18 in 1997.
When asked if the party is finalising its line-up of candidates, he said, “You can assume that’s so.”
Mr Teo also gave an idea of when the next General Elections, due by February 2012, will be.
He told ST, the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee was only convened last Saturday, when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong made the announcement.
The committees take at least two months to map changes, and polling day comes after some 17 days to six months from the release of the committee reports.
When it is time to contest, Mr Teo said, the PAP will do so on the basis of having people and programmes to “take Singapore well into the future – 10 to 20 years ahead”.
Adding his thoughts on Senior Minster Goh Chok Tong’s comment last week, that the next elections would be a watershed, he said, “We need to start bringing in new people who will be ready to take over in the future. They will do so with the others we’ve brought in at previous elections. We do need to focus on them too.”
Mr Teo said the party would have to continue bringing in people from the post-65 generation to have “a good solid group of people”.
What about the larger role the new media is expected to play in this elections?
Said Mr Teo: “The more noise you make on the Internet doesn’t mean that you have better programmes or better solution. Focus on the substance of what you can actually do for people. Sincerity, honesty, what you can actually do for people.”
