Introducing PAP candidate for Punggol!!

[tanwahp]

As I had said previously the PAP has a very lengthy pipeline of candidates waiting to answer the call to stand for election on the party ticket.

This is in total contradiction to that popular blogger who claimed that PAP would find it increasingly difficult to get candidates to field in elections.

PAP is finding it increasingly difficult. That doesn't mean they do not have candidates if they need, but the numbers and quality has been dropping over the decades.

These are the dumb ones ...they still don't get it; running for political office under the PAP is no longer a guarantee path to wealth as they could lose. Perhaps the PAP has given them assurance that if they lose, they will get another shot later on and they will be provided with a 5-figure salary while waiting.

 

[winnipegjets]

For some, wealth is not enough. They want power, raw power.

But like have never ending supply of medical doctors. SDP got endless supply of PhDs.

 

[zhihau]

he is an asshole!

thought that should be *asshole* cancel, cancel, should be rectal specialist?

 

[ray_of_hope]

PAP is finding it increasingly difficult. That doesn't mean they do not have candidates if they need, but the numbers and quality has been dropping over the decades.

I have to continue to repeat this point: candidates do not win elections, party ticket does. Whoever the PAP nominates the voters know that the entire govt machinery is behind that person.

i totally agree but still a good candidate would help to pull in an extra few percent of votes from the undecided. does that factor applies more to the oppositions ?

 

[sleaguepunter]

quite true... most ppl vote along party line without bothering to see which parties candidate is the best. especially pap when all members must follow the WHIP so no way to standout.

 

[kopiuncle]

so handsome so qualified
so professional so academically and so professional
PAP surely wins hands down this time
WP or SDP or RP or NSP or Independent no fight..

How to beat a doctor! No ordinary doctor , but a colon rectum specialist!!! Very powerful man!!! PAP surely wins!!!

[ray_of_hope]

i agree. the whole machinery is enormous!!! plus a doctor! plus a surgeon! plus a colon rectum specialist!!!..how to lose???

Don't be surprised too if the PM, when campaigning for the distinguished doc, were to suggest that he would be more than just a backbencher.
You heard it here first.

 

[wikiphile]

i agree. the whole machinery is enormous!!! plus a doctor! plus a surgeon! plus a colon rectum specialist!!!..how to lose???
