hahaha....just about every oppo leader (CSJ, GMS, KJ, CST, LTK, DL, SebT; etc...) is derided by Scroobal and his lackeys who proclaimed themselves to be anti papee warriors.....
and there are idiots who claimed that papigs were afraid of them and all out to silence the gang....LOL
My dear Scroobal,
Can you stop writing like that? Now those people are saying I am you, you are me! This is getting a bit funny to me.

If you're not making a contribution, the least you can do is stay out of the way. Maybe Meng Seng, you might consider doing the same. I was dead wrong about many things and the worst thing is to insist on being wrong despite knowing the truth. It eats away at you and it isn't worth it. Moulmein-Kalling is one example.
Dr Wong Wee Nam was the one who "recruited" me. I edited all his articles and posted them on my blog. He also sends his articles to other political news sites. Recently, despite me not having blogged in a long while, he asked me to post one of his articles. I did not do so.
When is the Opp going to learn that the only way..and I mean the only only way to challenge the PAP is to be united and credible. Join forces and be one and get capable people that Singaporeans can trust. WP is the only viable platform. People like PT should join in if he wants to make a positive contribution. Other countries also have two main parties vying for power. Why can't we be the same?
The problem that some of the opposition politicians faced is that the WP, while being the most successful opposition party, is not squeaky clean. Not everyone wants to be associated with that TC mess.
Meng Seng,
I agree with your assessment of SDP's conduct in the by-election aftermath. 3_M also said it right: SDP has the tendency to twist facts in their favour, and it's not because they are not clever enough to interpret the data.
We accuse the PAP of frequently whitewashing their sins and the sins of its members (Michael Palmer, for example). But the opposition (SDP in particular) too is guilty of that. It's a case of pot calling the kettle black.
I decided in 2014 to stop blogging and to dissociate myself from political commentary entirely. Someone very close to me told me I was not making a contribution at all. The same fellow also said in life, you just have to eat humble pie and move on. Difficult for any man in an Asian society no doubt. But it was a message I took seriously.

This is the actual comparison. Anyone can do a proper analysis of this chart?

Dear E-Jay,
Giving up is actually the simplest way out. Not an issue. I would have given it up long time ago when I left WP. Well, I was contemplating leaving politics again n 2011 after completion of the NSP, thinking that a good platform has been built and I could just relax and become a free lance commentator just as an interest, but things turn for the worse.
I was thinking of giving GE2015 a miss but somehow, things got entangled and the rest is history.
Leaving the scene is pretty easy. Turning my back and walk away is the simplest thing to achieve. But looking at the situation now, the mess we have here is biggest ever since I have joined opposition politics. The disconnect of the MOB (irrational hardcore opposition supporters) from the silent majority plus opposition sympathizers and neutrals is biggest ever.
The Black Box poll actually provides a lot of information which was very depressing but totally ignored by opposition. Ironically, what SDP did and interested in was just distorting it for self glorification.
I started out this journey wanting democracy to develop progressively for Singapore. But it just seems that it has gotten worse.
Life is not that simple as black and white. Not all in PAP are bad people, neither all in opposition are good people as well. We just have to stand on our own conscience.
Don't be too disheartened by the happenings around us. If we were to listen to the MOB as if they were the only right people to follow, PAP should have lost power by their logic already! The Mob is dead wrong on many things and they thought by being the most noisy ones, they could make themselves "right".
You are a Maths major, you should have the logical mind to determine what to believe and what not to believe.
I do not think I could change Singapore or make it progress democratically in my lifetime but at least, a foundation could be built and passed on to future generations. But if I stopped now, it would be sure that the progression may be dragged even longer then.

your command of the english language is excellent in this post, compared to previous postings and live interviews.
You are just incapable to do so, just say so.
