I once saw Jamie Han around the West Coast area. He hasn't changed much after all these years.

Francis and him have been quarrelling from day 1. And Francis was one of best state prosecutor - Sunny Ang, Pulau Senang riots etc so I put I down it down to 2 equals. And yes, he did get a bloody nose.

care to add one more? his verbal joust with Francis Seow back in the late 80s :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

We all thought it was staged until the girl started with some uncomfortable views. Then it got hot, quickly grabbed 2 beers, kachang puteh and the rest is history.

The other 2 are the Reuters girl cub reporter who fucked him in front of everyone ( and I mean truly fucked, with no comeback) and the other was Jamie Han, the history honours student who called his bluff in an auditorium full of students. Jamie made the comment that despots will turn into tyrants and old man lost it. He then asked him to form a political party. Same bullshit that GCT asked Catherine Lim to do.

I remember watching this one when it was aired. Don't think it was staged. Listening to his reasons now, it is easier to detect all the bs and the bullying.

See how he pointedly refused to answer the question on why there cannot be smaller GRCs if race is the real reason for them.

The loss of Aljunied was a good response to his claim that no one else has the best people.

Raymond Wong? Kee Chiu? Tan Chuan Jin?

He said that if the opposition is good they will be able to capture a GRC. WP did. So WP is worthy opposition. He said also a credible opposition will appear if PAP turns bad. haha.

Pity that the series has fewer than 10,000 views each.

Am disappointed with him. Expected him to be a better liar. Race just an excuse.

it showed how bankrupt pap's reasons were for GRC

Looking at what he said, and reading in between the lines, the bigger GRCs are meant to 'disable' the opposition based on the limited number of candidates they are able to recruit. But times have changed between the interview and today. Totally different ball game but in a way, the PAP is stuck with their own outdated rules.

Really encourage people to see the video in full when they have the time. As some have spotted, the note the old man avoiding certain questions.

When GCT came to power, he suggested reducing GRC and make it smaller. When he was badly mauled by Chiam and gang in 1991, he immediately made a U-turn and it was him that created the super GRCs.

Together with the highest deposit required anywhere in the world, the GRc concept is simple - it's a deterrent and it works. Very few people are prepared to take on the PAP, let alone finding the right people to form a party and risk losing the huge deposit is a factor.

Usual Old Man's style of engagement. Craft the debate using straw man arguments. E.g. defining politics as bread and butter issues. If I were there, I'd say, we are talking about petty partisan politics, not the science of govt. which is more of public admin. Knock one or two to try and demolish their credibility. I note how the young journalists were disregarding what he said and kept prodding. His attack on KK was merely catching him on a technicality. Wtf, you mean he didnt believe that there could be 100 people on the streets who were afraid the vote is not secret? It's good the ladies were garang, and they really took advantage of their gender to push hard.
