If the PAP deteroriation continues apace in GE 2016, are we facing a Romance of the Three Kingdom situation where the political scene in Singapore is consolidating towards a three party standoff? WP is now the 2nd party. Other parties, with the possible exception of NSP, face a significant...

The PAP now comes to a fork in the road. They have a difficult choice to make and it is not apparantly clear to me, as a simple voter, which is the way they will go. Any thoughts? Feel free to add scenarios if I missed any out Scenario 1: High Road. PAP consults the people, tries to fix the...

The top 3 losers are Potong Pasir, Joo Chiat and East Coast Hope to see Gerald Giam as NCMP!

Surprised to find out that several new citizens in my condo are also voting opposition. From China and India, the oldest has been here 20 years and the youngest has been citizen for 10 years. They understand most Singaporeans are not xenophobic, and that the real issue is the absurd rate...

Blast from the past...something that happened soon after the last election Those who follow forecasting will know Andy Xie is generally regarded as the best forecaster for China, and one of the best for Southeast Asia. He accidentally revealed the Hard Truth about the Singapore economic...

What do you guys think? I thought VW and Sylvia both did better than LSL The women in my family, staunch PAP supporters, thought Jeanette was the most convincing Either ways, if Aljunied was 50-50 at this point...I'd think this broadcast favours opposition Last election, my family voted 5-1...

Yes, clearly GY's parting shot is aimed at PAP. It is a genuine gesture, as well as being accurate and does allow him to step down (if he does lose) with dignity and statesmanship. Strange how much easier it is to play the big man when you think you may be on the way out. LSL is a different...

Analysing the elections with two friends - one is an experienced political consultant and the other a psychiatry expert witness. I've been in a daze in the last few hours about what just happened but these two helped make sense of it all. As you well know, with 24 hours to go to Polling...

I dread the possibility that Singaporeans, especially older voters and female voters, would have been swayed by his orchestrated apology and given him that fraction needed to secure Aljunied. Could daft Singaporeans forget that he is apologising just hours before polling day, and only months...

Shit, I thought Holland-Bukit Timah has the most disgusting PAP candidate in Vivian Balakrishnan. But his team-mate Sim Ann, was director of the National Population Secretariat. She is the one responsible for implementing the process for more than 2 million foreigners to flood Singapore, and...

Interesting theory, perhaps scroobal can comment how substantial this is. The poster set up an account specifically to post this, so wondering if indeed it is not someone from the moderate faction in the PAP. http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16821129&postID=8891406550794368371 After...

http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16821129&postID=8891406550794368371 Hi Lucky, I have just came back from my weekly marketing trip with my parents. I spoke to some of our regular market vendors and sad to realise that lots of them are still afraid of voting for oppositon because of...

A retired WP member recently explained to me about the 3 tiers of 'opposition politicians'. The calibre of opposition is the single most controllable factor for every opposition party, and to maximise chances of breaking PAP's stranglehold, you need candidates equal or superior to the average...

After starting positive by giving opposition more coverage, the Straits Times is reverting back to its main role of PAP mouthpiece in the final days of the election. Today's Straits Times has PAP on the front page, and then 8 other pages inside. The opposition, combined, were given 3 pages...

Does anyone in PAP or HDB bother to tell LKY about housing prices? Anyhow let the old man blackmail opposition voters that their property values will suffer when actually its the one voting in Mah Bow Tan who will lose out...

SM Goh thinks Singaporeans should take Wong Kan Seng, Mah Bow Tan and Raymond Lim to task for screwing up on security, housing and transportation? Vote the PAP out of Bishan, Tampines and East Coast GRC...

Worker's Party asks for reserves to be made fully transparent. Reform Party argues for the privatisation of Temasek and GIC. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1125541/1/.html Right now, only a handful of people (ie, Lee family) are given full access to info about...

See any similarities? If you do, then please persuade your friends and relatives who normally support PAP to vote opposition! The mystery of where the milk and apples went to was soon cleared up. The animals had assumed that these would be shared out equally; one day, however, the order went...

That would be a fine show to watch. http://www.todayonline.com/SingaporeVotes/EDC110427-0000116/Will-WP-Dream-Team-turn-up-in-Aljunied-GRC SINGAPORE - Today, Singaporeans will know, for sure, whether Workers' Party (WP) chief Low Thia Kiang will lead a GRC team for the first time. And...
