The end of Chee's SDP?

[scroobal]

This is something that came my way long time ago but I could not make any sense of it and thus had not mentioned it. I was told that he has a rare skin condition and that it causes issues with the mental capacity. Someone with a medical background can throw some light. I was startled when resident brothel prostitute Chua mentioned it in one article where she mentioned his mental state but not the skin condition but hers was closer to personality disorder. The bizarre proposal triggered this post.

If Chee disintegrates, can Chiam reclaim his party back

No. First, Chiam is retired and is in no condition. Second, what Chiam has done with SPP is even worse than what Chee has done with SDP, and that is really saying something. Where is Jimmy Lee? Where is Benjamin Pwee? Gone, all gone.

Dr Chee, at his best, is a political fighter against the excess of PAP. His fight is over now that the internet age has overtook him.

Fighters do not always make good strategies or MPs. He carries too much scars and hatred.

Chee is too desperate & impatient to stand for election, even as to "work" with WP.

He should start improving his party image with the people first and work for his party.

Time for him to take a back seat and give his party some breathing space.

Wow I don't really agree with that.

The internet age has been good to Chee. When he rebuilt the SDP it was through podcasting, videos, a good online presence. SDP has used the internet at least as well as WP has. The internet favours the SDP because their message is more complex and political. WP is better at promoting the feel-good factor which does not require lengthy explanations.

Chee was discharged as a bankrupt. This round is not about his problems with the PAP, but with the WP.

Chee is not lousy at attracting people to join his party - until he fucks up big time, that is. If he was in the civil service he would probably do a good job. But as a political strategist, he is one of the worst.

Compare Dr Chee to, for example, Mr Yaw, who after a hiccup, abandon his political ideals and voters, run road and never seen again.

Dr Chee is for the well being of Singapore. This is a man who sacrifice 20 years of his life to pursue the fight for democracy in Singapore. Despite his hiccups in his early years, despite the consistent harassment and imprisonment, he has consistently fight for democracy in Singapore.

You mean taking a fake hunger strike? Inviting the WB and IMF heads to see him protest when their missions are global economic management and not to watch some loser protest?

WB and IMF heads usually hear a lot of protests. This is the norm.

Chee is clearly a socialist. All his ideas to alternative govt is to move away from capitalism. Intentionally or not he is just the antithesis to the trickle down meritocracy that is adopted by the PAP. The only reason why he embraces democratic concepts at the moment is because he is not the one in power or in the driver seat. You can see such a parallel in the Old Man. Once power is achieved he will reveal his real autocratic tendencies. See how he steamrolled his desires even in "opposition unification" discussions?

Yes I can certainly see your point.

If indeed any of this is true then one wonders what the professionals in the SDP and associated with it think of all this.
Does their silence imply that they are willing to go along with the quirks of one man?
If, on the other hand, they do not agree with what has occurred over he past few days then they should publicly say so and completely distance themselves from the statements being made.

hahaha.....do u know what is meant by party discipline...
if u are a member, u canot openly critisize your party...
of course u can resign first if u want to critisize your party.
don't forget cst was almost expelled from sdp for doing that

it is reasonable to expect some high profile resignations in the coming days/weeks.

Since we're on the topic of "what the fuck is going on with SDP" let me show you something that limpeh came across:

http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest+News/Singapore/Story/A1Story20130113-395185.html

Here we have our two friends from SDP walking the ground in SDP.

Paul Thambiah - or shall we say professor Paul Thambiah was asked, "yo dude, what's up? Why you walking around here at night?"

He said he's "checking this place out". He wants to talk to people to "find out if we should uh be uh contesting the by-elections". He repeated the crap that CSJ said about "vice versa".

Then the camera zooms to his good buddy Wijeysingha. "Hey yo check this shit out guys, we're SDP and we're so popular that people are saying we can park here and not get tickets". And Wijeysingha is wearing the biggest shit eating grin you ever saw. And no he's not answering any questiions about Chee Soon Juan.

You can see from the Razor TV clip that I am absolutely not making any of this up.

Now if Chee Soon Juan acts the fool, by now none of us are truly surprised. But when Wijeysingha and Thambiah start playing along with him, it is truly disconcerting. Is this a ruse whereby they start to go on scouting missions, and then they can say, "well we checked out this place and the ground's not good, we'll send our people in only during the GE"? It is either an awkward but sane move to salvage whatever's left of their reputation and give and excuse for packing it up.

Or maybe we are in for even more comedy gold.

SDP doesnt have a second leader in my view
