Victor Lye ("Sinkies are like teenagers") takes 1.5 yrs leave for grassroot work

[Confuseous]

CNA reported yesterday (16 Dec) that PAP activists in opposition wards are gearing up for the coming general election.

In the article, CNA said that 52-year-old Victor Lye was chosen to lead PAP activists at Bedok Reservoir-Punggol ward in WP-controlled Aljunied GRC. Mr Lye has apparently been working the ground there for the past 5 years.

Trying to defend the loss of Aljunied GRC to the opposition, Mr Lye said, “You must remember Aljunied was not just the result for Aljunied – it was a result for the entire PAP and it was a national outcome.”

“Otherwise how do you explain very good, committed politicians and ministers not getting enough votes? So we must remember what Aljunied means – communication. I was really crying out for what Aljunied was expressing,” he added.

He said that communication is key to winning back the Aljunied residents’ trust.

“The electorate is changing. We call it the ‘teenager effect’. You can’t speak to our children the same way we spoke to them when they were three or seven. When they are 12 or 14, the same message has to be delivered differently.”

So the failure in Aljunied simply falls on the communication issue? Good then, since the last election the fucking PAP had been communicating to Singaporeans that PAP cannot control flooding, riots, immigration, rise in cost of living, greater income disparity.

Great, we all got the PAP message loud and clear.

The pappies are too conceited to admit their own shortcomings. Ditto for the people who support them.

When the PAP gets ousted from power, expect to see many of its 'supporters' magically vanish. The gloryhunters won't stick around in lean times. Politics is not too different from football.
