Serious PAP waves white flag in Aljunied

[Confuseous]

Singapore—Has the People’s Action Party (PAP) given up on winning at Workers’ Party (WP) stronghold Aljunied GRC? Having seen this year’s lineup from the ruling party, netizens are wondering why a minister was not sent to anchor PAP’s slate. Moreover, others are voicing doubts that the PAP is serious about winning the GRC back from the WP.

On its part, the opposition party brought out its big guns for the Aljunied fight. All five candidates have served in Parliament, with WP’s team headed by secretary-general Pritam Singh, party chairwoman Sylvia Lim, vice-chair Muhamad Faisal Bin Abdul Manap, all three of whom are incumbent Aljunied MPs; as well as two Non-Constituency Members of Parliament (NCMP), Leon Perera (2015-2020) and Gerald Giam (2011-2015).

The WP team faces off against PAP’s candidates Victor Lye, Alex Yeo, Chan Hui Yuh, Chua Eng Leong, and Shamsul Kamar. Messrs Lye, Shamsul and Chua had also contested in Aljunied in 2015.


Mr Lye is an artificial intelligence fintech chief executive, while Mr Yeo is a lawyer. Mr Chua is a bank executive, Mr Shamsul is the executive director of the Centre for Domestic Employees, and Ms Chan is a marketing director.

The five lost by the narrowest of margins, 50.9%, in 2015.

That will not happen again in 2020. They will be whipped like primary school children and driven out of town.

maybe no minister wanted to contest 50-50 Aljunied. last election a gonna be discarded mp led the team.

Although the PAP team has put up a good fight in 2015, they should have sent a full minister if they're really really serious about capturing Aljunied. Looks like they're treating Aljunied like a sacrificial lamb - perhaps they're ok with one opposition GRC in parliament.

 

[GramStroker]

They are resigned to have one GRC held by opposition to placate the people.
One Aljunied cannot do damage in parliament.
The way they react to try to contain East Coast speaks volumes.

Pray hard for WP in SK.

Hopefully Pritam's strategy works out winning SK and having NCMP from EC.

Dont be over confident. Won by a thin margin of only 50.9%..a drop of @10% fm 2010 GE. Two heavy weight stepped down. Not a good sign.
