Suffer? I live in opposition territory and see no difference from period before 2011.
It is harder to do business profitably and fleece silly peasants with all those legal clinics conducted by WP. Shut them down i say!

What LLL does in her private life is her own business. LLL has already made a big contribution by offering herself for election and offering you an alternative choice. How many forummers here have the balls or the resources to stand for election against the PAP? Furthermore LLL is no lightweight candidate who talks rubbish. What she says in Parliament makes sense. She only lost this time because of the massive tide nationwide going in favour of the PAP.
It is easy to demand that opposition politicians make sacrifices for us, but put oursleves in their shoes, we also have families and loved ones, will we make the same sacrifice if we are in that position. LLL has already made her mark. It is time for her to take a step back and come and fight again in 2020.

Being a Politican and public servant should never be always about $$$. You take the role because you want to serve the people and make the country a better place to live in.
By declining an NCMP seat makes her look like a disingenuous money grabbing bitch and frankly quite selfish. For someone with her level of education and grassroots experience, S$15k per month as an elected MP would make it appear as if all her CNY Ang Baos had come at once. Its loss will no doubt have a significant impact on her financial situation but she is still relatively young enough to find other work.
May I remind those of you defending Lee Li-Lian to take a look at her WP colleague Sylvia Lim who accepted a NCMP before becoming a fully fledged MP.
She made many notably speeches in Parliament whilst being an NCMP - not least the ones on excessive ministerial pay or CPF reform.
Many of the newbies in the WP or even the Opposition in general should follow her example and set themselves to a higher standard than the money grabbing MIW.
Talk cock. The voters already rejected her and the loss margins was so damn big. I support the decision.
If she was a great a MP tat u make her out to b. She would not have lost as she has the benefit of incumbency. N she lost to a pappie tat calls singkies lesser mortals n defended the antics of her inconsiderate daughter. N to think singkies voted for him n not ah lian? Speaks alot about ah lian.

Goh Meng Seng is right. Voters vote PAP and yet they tell opposition to continue to fight for them. Fuck 'em.
Makes no difference with the people given the mandate they gave to the opposition.
Why Sinkies voted against her is not the issue. The point is she does not owe anything to anyone. Her choice not to take NCMP is her own business. In the first place the NCMP scheme is created to placate voters and discourage people from voting in an oppo MP, so one could actually make the case that she has made a principled stand against PAP's underhand authoritarianism.
U think too highly of WP Ah Lian who is only armed with only a distance learning degree and limited experience.
She is pulling the whole party down with her decision.
The pappies couldn't wait to see the Parliament purged of all non-PAP inferior caste folks... and now they're feigning moral high ground and expressing 'disappointment' about her not wanting to 'serve'.
Really hypocrites, all you Lightning Clan assholes.
How about enjoying your 'strong mandate' and stop barking for once?
