Breaking News: Erections Are Coming. Erections Are Coming.

[Sideswipe]

The groundwork includes which party contest which seats,,,and please contest all the seats if necessary...this way the voter sentiment will be more accurately measured. From the forumners 33% vs 66% etc is not an accurate count as only about 50% of the population voted. If all seats are contested this will be a true measure of the PAPs voter support.

Singapore is one big GRC. votes will rise or fall either PAP and oppositions in nationwide style. voters sentiments will be the same from west to east of the island maybe +- 5%.

There will be the exception like Aljunied grc, but more or less it's the same.

I believe the $29mil set aside is good enough to run an election, but I may be wrong.

As regards to rumours about Potong Pasir flats being demolished, not exactly untrue, the actual rumor is that if Chiam does not/unable to run anymore, the Toa Payoh Lor 8 HDB will be considered for en-bloc. That would sounds more reasonable, but has spoken to some friends in HDB, but none dare to confirm or deny the rumours.

If all areas remains the same, Hougang and Potong Pasir will unlikely to fall back to PAP regardless of suggestions (not threats) that it will become slum, enticement (not bribery hor) of upgrading. Because CST and LTK has proved themselves able to manage their area, and the residents understand that upgrading of HDB is 101% fault of the Minister of National Development (the blue eye boy of LKY) who lost to CST many moons ago and bears a grudge (that true or not true no longer important).

With regards to Aljunied GRC, me and my friends hope that the area will not change. Some of my friends will start to survey Aljunied GRC, do some profiling after CNY, and maybe in the 2nd Quarter volunteer to WP to start some groundwork, but this is not confirmed yet, depending on their commitment. Cyberspace will only capture a REAL SMALL market of the VOTERS, and in places like PP and Hougang, and probably Aljunied, groundwork must be laid.

Hopefully we can gather enough people from here to start work on capturing 1-2 GRCs.

Yes Bro,,,the so called 'quality' of singaporeans or the lack thereoff has allowed the PAP to run wild and now many are suffering for this,,,I still feel at this stage,,,if the elections are properly contested by the oppositions,,,Singaporeans could make the change,,,and if they still vote PAP etc,,than these so called singaporeans should be consign to the dustbin of history,,,

 

[CNY_OX09]

times are so bad,i do not think they will call an election soon.
if they sense that the economic is on the rise,then they will surely call an early election to ride on it.

The Elections Department has been notified to update the Registers of Electors by the Prime Minister. It is expected to be completed by 3 March 2009. The announcements by the Elections Department are shown below:

LATEST NEWS (17 February 2009)

The Registers of Electors are currently being revised. The revised Registers will contain the names of all Singapore citizens who are qualified to be electors as of 1 February 2009.

Announcement will be made (expected in about two weeks’ time) when the revision is completed and the related online services are resumed.

Do visit this website regularly for updates.

======================================

NOTICE. (18 February 2009)

ONLINE SERVICES

The online checking services are suspended temporarily while the Registers of Electors are being revised, and are expected to be resumed around 3 March 2009. You may wish to check again within 14 days from 3 March 2009, to ensure that your particulars in the revised Registers of Electors are correct.

In addition, the redrawing of polling districts has also been done. See link below:

http://www.elections.gov.sg/gazette/Boundaries of altered polling districts.pdf

After the completion of the Registers of Electors, which is 3 March, voters will be given 14 days to check their names and status. That will bring us to 17 March. So the earliest date an election can be held will be on 18 March.

School holidays fall between 14 to 22 March.

http://www.moe.gov.sg/schools/terms-and-holidays/

Therefore, it is likely that the GE could be held between

18 to 21 March 2009.

And Nomination Day would probably be around 10-12 March 2009.

Notes:

1. PAP already got all their things printed in China shipped to Singapore.

2. Indications are quite clear that the preparations in Phase 2 have been completed. Phase 3 of the Operation can be expected any time now.

3. There seems to be a serious internal conflict going on. Someone who cannot govern may have to be kicked out and replaced. It looks like a big reshuffle will be taking place.

4. The unprecedented sudden appearance of the President to hold a press conference only after the Budget2009 Debate is the most significant signal given to the public. For whatever it is worth, the so-called explanations by the President is probably aimed at critics or possible criticisms on the Process Of Approving The Drawing Of The National Reserves during the coming election rallies

5. Another consideration is that President Obama will be attending the APEC Meeting in Singapore in April 2009. Therefore, it will be a crafty move to have the Flash GE2009 before President Obama arrives.
